BODYWORK/TRIM

This slick sedans 2011 restoration began with what appears to be a solid damage-free body. That bodys panels were stripped sanded and massaged into a great-looking profile. Once that profile was correctly aligned its vast surfaces were lit to life with an even coat of bright red 2-stage. And the result is one straight fully sorted pavement pounder that inspires comments and elicits stares every time it hits the road!

Logging roughly 1000 weekend miles since it rolled out of the paint booth every piece of this Plymouths tailored ornamentation is on point. And while its hard to determine the originality of all those baubles they present well and display very little weathering. At the front of the car a prominent stainless-trimmed grille hangs bright halogen headlights above a body-width bumper and factory marker lamps. Above that grille a color-keyed A12 hood leads the eye to like-new glass thats cleared by matte wipers and framed in bright stainless trim. At the sides of that hood a sculpted profile centers traditional Chrysler door handles behind a correct chrome mirror. And at the back of that profile clean taillights illuminate a second body-width bumper thats complete with small reverse lamps.

ENGINE

At the top of the massaged block a Gloss Black air cleaner forces wind in to three Demon carburetors and a modern Edelbrock intake. At the sides of that intake factory-spec heads perch a polished Kandamp;N breather on color-keyed Mopar Performance valve covers. At the front of those covers an MSD Pro-Billet distributor sequences spark between an MSD Blaster 2 coil and MSD Street Fire plug wires. Beneath those wires snazzy billet components spin a polished alternator and modern power steering at the sides of an aluminum Chrysler water pump. At the front of the engine bay a beefy AutoRad radiator makes good use of an aluminum expansion tank and two electric puller fans. At the sides of the block Hooker Super Competition headers usher spent gases in to rowdy exhaust pipes. Theres an impressive roster of ancillaries that includes a Milodon oil pan a fresh master cylinder and a familiar Road Runner horn. And aesthetically the bright red mill looks right at home between the cars vibrant red fenders.
