Plymouth Special Deluxe (1946)
for sale

Price: US $3,250.00

Description:

You don't have to be Danny Zuko, John Travolta's name in Grease to drive and appreciate this gem. Much less, I cannot guarantee you'll get the girl, Olivia Newton John, however driving it will certainly garner a tremendous amount of attention when Cruising around in it. Quite simply. . there's not much like it on the roads today.
Offered for your consideration is a fabulous, nicely recommissioned (restored) example of Plymouth's Special Deluxe Business Coupe. (Built without a back seat). Gorgeous in Battalion Beige two stage finish, a beautiful cloth sienna and tan interior and graced with sixteen inch red steel wheels with wide whitewalls.
The most interesting facet of this Business Coupe is its Sleeper appearance. Situated under the long graceful hood resides a bored 0.30 over rebuilt inline six cylinder L-Head engine, probably now displacing approximately 230+ cubic inches. Complementing it are twin Carter carburators, mounted to an Offenhauser finned aluminum manifold, Offenhauser finned aluminum valve covers, Phillips Performance cast iron Headers, a very mild performance camshaft, and followed downstream with Dual Exhaust and high flow mufflers. When running it truly evokes the sounds and memories of the hopped up coupes of this era.
The transmission is a three speed manual, followed by a 3.90 ratio differential. The Special Deluxe Business Coupe runs and shifts nicely, and its actually quite quick for its vintage. The tires are older bias ply, and should you wish not to have to endure the typical flat spotting after setting and wandering when driving, a switch to a set of radials would vastly enhance the coupes handling. For those wishing originality, stay with the bias ply configuration.
All glass and chrome are very nice. Some pitting does exist on the right and left door handles, and rear tail light chrome surrounds. The rear tail lights feature vintage Blue Dot lenses. Very retro.
Recently tuned, fully chassis lubrication, and oil and filter replacement (Pennzoil 10/40 with ZDDP additive), new 6 volt battery, A/C spark plugs, ignition points, and coolant flush and replacement all have been performed within the last month.
In conclusion, this is a delightful, rust free Special Deluxe Coupe which can be driven with confidence. It will be sold as is where is, with no warranty expressed or implied. I highly recommend personal inspection or by a qualified representative prior to purchase. Inspection as condition of sale after auction end will not be permitted. Please and respectfully keep in mind this is an auction, thus kindly
do not

Hint: this is NOT a $6K car, which bidders feel they can acquire without having to spend thousands of dollars to make it viable. Moreover, bidders with a feedback score* of ten (10) or less, please contact me prior to bidding, thus avoiding having your bid cancelled.
I reserve the right to end the auction early, given the Special Deluxe Business Coupe is for sale locally and on other International venues.
