Relisting at a reduced reserve - this half-century old, slant 6 powered, long roof pedal car doormobile, featuring all manual operations including a classic three-on-the-tree tranny. I did a Carfax on this vehicle when I purchased it and found that it was began it's life in Califormia, spent a good deal of time in Nebraska, then a very short stint in Pennsylvania, Ohio and now resides in Minneapolis Minnesota.
I've done little to the car since I've owned it, other than replacing a poor performing Holly carb with a Carter, reupholstering the front seat, repairing an exhaust leak and replacing the stock 13 wheels with 14 wheels. (I saved the originals) The two rear wheels are 340 Dart variety - 5-1/2 inches wide. All new tires as well.
Headliner has some holes, nothing unexpected. And the gas gauge doesn't register - no idea if its the gauge or the sending unit.
Pretty straight all around except for the rear quarters. No rusty, just well-dented. Layson's makes repair panels for $150 a side - remember to specify 1965 panels - Plymouth used up the 65 panels on the 66 wagons only. For me it became part of the car's character. I do not like rust but dents are tolerable for a car of this age of life.
The car runs, drives and stops fine. In my opinion the clutch is a bit weak but fine if you're not looking to smoke the tires. I have not had it on any long trips so in answer to the Will the car make it to??? I can only respond with a definite I don't know.
Before I repaired the existing exhaust I purchased new header and tailpipes- they go along with the car. As does the vintage roof racks (waiting for a surf or paddle board)
Do not hesitate to ask questions. More photos if you need. Video isn't out of the question.

“Expected wear for a 50 year old survivor. both rear quarters seem to have been used for tactile parking. Super solid top to bottom and all underneath. One man's signs of age is another man's originality and "patina."” |
