84-Mile Hemi Restoration: 1966 Plymouth Satellite

With the refresh of Chrysler’s B-body cars in 1965 as intermediates rather than full-size substitutes, the Satellite debuted. It was an upscale version of the Belvedere and would compete in the mid-size field through 1974. The seller has fully… more»

Pristine Machine: 1964 Plymouth Barracuda

Few models have launched from more humble beginnings to reach such dazzling heights as the Plymouth Barracuda. Originally a trim package of the Valiant, the Barracuda was aimed at Chevrolet’s Corvair and the well-advertised rumor of the arrival of… more»

New Steel Included: 1970 Plymouth Road Runner

This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner provides enthusiasts with the best of both worlds. It runs and drives exceptionally well, and the seller includes most of the steel required to return the car to a rust-free state during its cosmetic… more»

Final Year Model: 1971 Plymouth GTX

The 1971 model year marked the end of the line for the GTX as a standalone model. Plymouth would continue using the badge from 1972 until 1974, attaching it only to Road Runners ordered with a 440ci V8 under… more»

1 of 818: Wrecked 1969 Plymouth Sport Satellite

This 1969 Plymouth Sport Satellite was a great car – until it came into contact with a deer or a telephone pole. Only 818 of these convertibles were produced, and the numbers are even fewer with a 383 cubic… more»

Gran Coupe Project: 1970 Plymouth Barracuda

Plymouth’s Barracuda got a new lease on life in 1970. Always a bridesmaid to the Ford Mustang, the Barracuda got its own new E-body platform (that was shared with the new Dodge Challenger). The Gran Coupe was introduced as… more»

Numbers-Matching 1968 Plymouth Road Runner Project

1968 was when it all began for the no-frills Road Runner, with the powers that be at Plymouth hoping there would be significant demand for a low-priced B-Body with a big block as standard equipment.  They were correct, as… more»

Small-Block Project: 1972 Plymouth Duster 340

Plymouth introduced a fastback version of its Valiant compact, the Duster. It was a popular seller between 1970 and 1976. The Duster 340 was the performance version in 1970-73 (replaced by the Duster 360). Rated at 275 horsepower, these… more»

1 of 254? 1976 Plymouth Road Runner

Having a V8 four-speed still meant something in 1976, and though Plymouth’s Road Runner wasn’t the bare-bones rubber floored tire-shredding street racer that tempted gearheads in 1968, it held its own in the mid-’70s. This 1976 Plymouth Road Runner… more»

Rolling Mopar Project: 1966 Plymouth Belvedere

While Plymouth had used the Belvedere name since the 1950s, it was applied to a mid-size ride in 1965. And would serve as the basis for the Road Runner muscle car in 1968. But, in 1966, it was largely… more»

1950 Plymouth Woody Wagon Survivor!

Fastback Project: 1965 Plymouth Barracuda

Though the Ford Mustang is credited with starting the “pony car” movement, it was named after, Plymouth got there first. 17 days before the Mustang was unveiled at the New York World’s Fair in April 1964, Plymouth began selling… more»

True Survivor? 1941 Plymouth Super Deluxe

When I first saw the “tip” for this 1941 Plymouth Super Deluxe, courtesy of T.J., I was on the fence about covering it. As we have all discussed many times before, pre- and immediate postwar domestic cars don’t generate… more»

Semi-Survivor: 1970 Plymouth GTX

Semi-Survivor. Those aren’t my words, but the ones used by the seller to describe this 1970 Plymouth GTX. It seems that apart from the paint, it is as original as the day it left the factory. The Plymouth has… more»
