This the best looking 60 Plymouth that I have ever seen. I used to have one. Mine was red with a slant 6 and 3 speed on the column. The 60 Plymouth supposedly had the largest tail fins of any of the fin cars, including the 59 Caddy. This one belongs to a guy in Fresno and I think it's just absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Just a really some what rare and beautiful car.
This car was on the boulevardos board too. I really like it, it's beautifully done. But as much as I do like it and think the guy did a fantastic job, there's a few things I'd have to change. I'm not crazy about the tire size, the modern looking speaker covers are gross, and I have to wonder how difficult it'd be to drive with that steering "wheel". All pretty minor shit though. Overall it's done very tastefully and really pulls off the look.
Ah, the car grandpa had when I was born, and then it was my dad's for a while. For some reason the 60 gets less respect than its predecessors even though Richard Petty raced in one. Maybe it was born too late as its competitors had already lost their fins by then. I think it's the sleekest of the finned mopars, especially the rear roof lines, but the "angry bird" grille scared me as a kid and even this one looks unhappy.
Other than the cut wheel and shaving the trim at the bottom the dash is pretty much stock. Know the asking price?

Really?!?!? I've never seen it before. Theres tons of stuff floating around this area that never sees the light of day. Just one more reason that Fresno sucks.
i had the same thoughts. but its so nice to see what appears to be a recent build. and got damn!!! good lookin rig
Very Nice! But, as mentioned, the tire size. And, at least it's not a chrome chain steering wheel. ...
