Re: 1931 plymouth coupe pictures
one thing I like to see on old mopars is to retain the parrallell leaf front suspension. same with Chevys of that era. too many people put ford suspension under them for my tastes.

Re: 1931 plymouth coupe pictures
Keep the Plymouth motor. They are cool and can be converted to overhead cheaply if you want to

Re: 1931 plymouth coupe pictures
I have a Model "A" rumble seat coupe that I would trade you for. I've been holding out waiting to build it because I would rather have a Plymouth, Dodge or DeSoto.
That's a cool car. I would keep the flat-6 for sure. Run without fenders and hood sides. Keep the leaf springs. Lower it and drive it. Keep us posted BloodyKnuckles BTW...I am serious!

Re: 1931 plymouth coupe pictures
I believe you have a 1930 Plymouth not a 1931 Plymouth PA.The main difference is the grill shell.I was looking for a 1931 PA coupe before i bought my 1934 PFXX coupe.I have pictures of one built in the very early seventies with a straight axle nose high with 327 and 4 speed.If i live long enough i want to duplicate that 31 PA i have pictures of.

Re: 1931 plymouth coupe pictures
It might be sort of an in between 30 Model U / 31 PA. The oval window looks like a PA, but the firewall and grill look like Model U.
Is there a little plaque on the firewall that says "Body by Briggs"? |

Re: 1931 plymouth coupe pictures
cool looking car, good to see pics of it finally! my opinion from before still stands on the suspension. Take the fenders off the right side of the car and put the left hood side back on and see which you like better. Before you make any decisions, put it up on stands, pull all four springs out and start lowering it down and see how it looks. That's what I would have liked to have done if I had started with a car that was together at least a little bit. If you leave the fenders on, 1" lower will look slick. Take off the fenders and you'll probably have to go 4" or more to get it looking right again. my 2cents.
