Just Out Of Storage: 1968 Plymouth GTX 440

The late 1960s probably represented the high water mark for the American muscle car sector, with virtually every mainstream manufacturer offering buyers compelling alternatives to consider. Plymouth brought its GTX to the party in 1967, although the badge underwent… more»

Stored 30 Years: 1966 Plymouth Fury III

In the 1960s, the Plymouth Fury III competed head-to-head with the Chevy Impala and Ford Galaxie 500. But, as was the usual case, Plymouth came in third in the sales race for 1966. The seller’s station wagon had been… more»

42 Years in a Barn! 1949 Plymouth Business Coupe

Don’t ask me why, but I’ve always been drawn to a 2-door, 3-passenger business coupe. Especially those made by the Chrysler Corporation from 1949-1952. I guess it’s the odd proportions due to the humongous trunk and how “unsporty” this… more»

Driveway Find: 1970 Plymouth Barracuda

Plymouth had two hits on their hands in the 1970 model year. One was the Duster, a new fastback version of the Valiant compact, which sold like hotcakes. Another was the all-new revamped Barracuda, which finally parted ways with… more»

Survivor! 1942 Plymouth Special Deluxe Four-Door Sedan

By 1942, most United States manufacturers had converted operations to wartime production. Ford made bombers. Alcoa made airplanes. Not even Lionel, the toy train company, was unaffected: it made compasses for warships. In 1941, Plymouth had just introduced its… more»

Nice Patina? 1950 Plymouth Business Coupe

“De Luxe Three-Passenger Coupe: The car that really gets down to business! Perfect for business man, salesman or small family. Huge storage space in oversize luggage compartment. Economical to buy, economical to operate. Ample room for three.” So says… more»

California Car: 1961 Plymouth Suburban Deluxe

Talk about a unique survivor. Maybe “unique” doesn’t even do the design of the ’61 Plymouth Belvedere and Suburban wagon justice. I think it’s a winner, design-wise, but I like my vehicles a little on the weird side. The… more»

Road Runner Clone: 1971 Plymouth Satellite

This 1971 Plymouth Satellite may have begun life as an ordinary family car. The VIN decodes it as having had a 318 cubic inch V8 from the factory. But today, it wears older Road Runner identification and a 400… more»

Dual-Carburetors! 1957 Plymouth Fury Project

The Fury debuted in 1956 as a high-end, 2-door hardtop version of the Plymouth Belvedere. By 1959, it would become the flagship of the brand, just like the Impala over at Chevrolet. In 1957, Chrysler treated its products to… more»

Winged Warrior: 1970 Plymouth Superbird

For lovers of winged machines like myself, there’s no such thing as a bad example, just good ones and it only gets better from there.  This 1970 Plymouth Superbird here on eBay is a beauty, and it shows that… more»

It’s a Hemi! 1972 Plymouth ‘Cuda

The hottest Plymouth Barracuda you could buy in 1972 was the ‘Cuda 340 with a 4-speed manual transmission. And this car was one of them as just 4,315 rolled off the assembly line. But now it might be 1-of-1… more»

Nicest One Left? 1977 Plymouth Volare Wagon

Chrysler introduced the Plymouth Volare/Dodge Aspen in 1976 to replace the aging Valiant/Dart compacts.  The cars had a five-year run, but they were not trouble-free with a host of recalls in the vehicles’ earliest days. This 1977 station wagon… more»

Rusty GTX or Road Runner? 1970 Plymouth

Between 1968 and 1971, Plymouth offered two versions of mid-size muscle cars: the Road Runner (which was somewhat austere) and the GTX (which was on the luxurious side). The seller seems uncertain which one this project or parts car… more»

41k Original Miles: 1999 Plymouth Prowler

Retro-styled cars are no different from any other vehicle in the new car market. Releasing such vehicles is a high-risk strategy, and some attempts are more successful than others. Those that met expectations included the New Mini, the Fiat… more»

20k Original Miles? 1972 Plymouth Duster

Sometimes, claims about a classic must be taken at face value. Such is the case with this 1972 Plymouth Duster. The odometer reading of 20,000 miles is extraordinarily low, but its history makes that plausible. It recently emerged from… more»

Celestial Arrow: 1978 Plymouth Arrow GT

Every now and then I see a Mitsubishi on the road and wonder why they never seemed to catch on in the U.S., much the same as when Suzuki offered four-wheeled passenger vehicles here. They both were the basis… more»
