33 plymouth build

(1/3) > >>

This is a 33 plymouth 4 door sedan that someone cobbled together on a farm. I believe to chase jack rabbits by looking at the quality of what they did WHOOO. I am not one to put down some ones abilities, but you have got to be kidding me. They put a 318 engine and trans in it, and the engine mounts were made from 3/8th inch flat metal cut with a torch and when they did not fit tight to the frame they just did not weld them in that area. The steering was so tight to the head on the drivers side the exhaust manifold was just thrown in the car, I guess so they could say they at least had it. Well that's enough for now,  but I will continue to send some pics along as the build goes. Here are afew pics of the car and what it should and could look like....John

John,
You have your work cut out for you but it'll be a real cool ride.  You won't run into another one at the local cruise.

It turns out the car owner and his buddy was shopping the local craigs list and found this little gem for $2,200.00. It is a 31 plymouth 4 door sedan and the body and all the parts are in mint condition, it is set up with a duster rear axle and the front axle is a modified original with disc brakes. It has a 318 engine and auto trans installed in it. it should be an easy build. The owner was getting on in age and in poor health and decided to unload it, and even had a tear in his eye when they hauled it off. The 33 plymouth will go into storage. this will give him time to find all the missing parts for it and the 31 will be on the front burner at my little shop at this time because of the easy build platform.....John

Great find! Looks to be in good shape.  Never know what you'll find on craigs list.
