I know a guy, let’s call him Mark, who would jump on this 1967 Plymouth Belvedere in a heartbeat, and before you know it it would have some sort of behemoth, snorting powertrain under it. It would be a real, “abandon hope all yea of any chance of a stock retention” moment for this car. It would be tires, wheels, and suspension too, the whole deal. He’s done it to Plymouths, Dodges, two-door sedans, four-door sedans, and any manner of two-door hardtops. His picks are never existing performance models, just more pedestrian versions like this Plymouth. Too bad, sometimes originality can be best so let’s take a look. This Belvedere is located in Woodinville, Washington and is available, here on craigslist for $2,000.

To be specific, this Belvedere looks like what is technically known as a Belvedere II. The other two intermediate Plymouth two-door hardtops from ’67 were the Satellite and the GTX. This version of Plymouth’s mid-size has, what I think, are great lines – Chrysler stylists did a bang-up job in ’66 and ’67 on both this Plymouth model and its Dodge counterpart. It’s not possible to get a thorough look at every inch of this Belvedere’s exterior but it shows pretty well – there are no signs of obvious damage or missing parts. The trunk pan reveals some surface rust, but nothing to make one think that there is a big corrosion or integrity problem elsewhere though there is some rust apparent in the leading edge of the hood.

There is a 230 gross HP, 318 CI V8 under the hood but no indication of operational capability so the assumption is this Plymouth is a “no-go”. As with the exterior, it looks mostly complete but it would be nice to know if it’s seized, etc. I state “mostly complete” because there appear to be A/C compressor brackets in place but no compressor is visible. I can’t make out the validation sticker on the Washington state license plate but the plate itself looks old, so it’s a safe bet this Belvedere has been sitting for quite a spell and thus, a potentially stuck engine. As is usually the case, there’s a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission backing up the engine.

In a word, the interior appears to be moldy and it’s forlorn-looking too. The upholstery is split, the passenger door panel is missing but the purposeful instrument panel still looks fair. There’s just one interior image included and it’s difficult to determine if the carpet has been removed – the thought being the floor pan condition. All in all, it doesn’t look like too big a resto project.

The condition of this Belvedere, per its listing, is salvage. I’m not sure if that is just a descriptor or the title status. In some states, a salvage title can be difficult for new and improved titling as well as registration – an inquiry should be made regarding that matter. Considering what we know, $2,000 sounds reasonable; the question is, what to do with it? I vote for a stock refurbishment and for that reason I won’t mention this car to Mark. How about you, what’s your flavor for this ’67 Plymouth Belvedere II?
