Upgraded Sleeper! 1966 Plymouth Belvedere I
The Belvedere was a staple in the Plymouth portfolio from 1954 to 1970. It became a mid-size by default in 1962 when Chrysler introduced the B-body platform, thinking that Chevrolet was going to downsize. In 1965, the B-body became… more»

Japanese Mopar: 1982 Plymouth Champ
Rebadging Japanese econo-boxes reached an art form by the late 1970s. GM cozied up to Suzuki and Isuzu; Ford liaised with Mazda; and Chrysler favored Mitsubishi. The Plymouth Champ featured here on craigslist wore the Mopar mantle, but underneath,… more»
Paisley Trim: 1971 Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe
Plymouth introduced the Fury Gran Coupe in 1971 as a successor to the VIP (Very Important Plymouth?). The latter had not been a big seller next to the Ford LTD and Chevrolet Caprice, so maybe Chrysler thought this change… more»
