1947 Plymouth Special Deluxe

 

Red Dog the '48 (possibly one of the handful of early 49s while they changed over) Plymouth DeLuxe 2 door sedan. Later GM suspension & drivetrain (231 V6/auto). Cobbled together in the late '80s, sat since the early '90s, found its HOME with me and I'm gonna drive the whee out of it...

 

My 49 plymouth...

 

^^^^ that woody is cool as! MoPaR made some damn cool cars and some just plain weird ones, not a fan of those "are they coming or are they going?" coupes

 

choptruck's 46 business coupe

 

/\ /\ /\ Love the look of your 3 window coupe.

 

Here are a few of that vintage. There is a '41 Coupe here witrh a slant six and with fuel injection an HEI that is coupled to a A-727. It is impressive and a nice looking car.

Here's my 47 Plymouth Specail Delux Coupe

 

Here is my 48 Club Coupe and the 57 model 230 with a 53 model R10 OD.

 

How Timely!!! I just this evening opened a box of stuff and found some long lost pics.. Including these pix of my '40 Plymouth Straight Axle Gasser project from the mid 1980's... It was a "4 spring" car with a late 30's Mopar front axle.. Frame was narrowed 5" per side and it had a 9" rear axle narrowed on one side only.. this way the 12" tires were not outside the fenders, no "Tubs", just a 5" widening of the stock wheel well. If I find more pix I will post asap. Sorry, I-phone pix of old Polaroid's...

 

'48 i'm working on re-traditionalizing.

 

Hemiken........nice to see a fellow Oz Mopar owner.........have attached a couple of pics of my Oz 1940 Dodge Coupe, the pic in the magazine and the other pic are the SAME car, the mag pic was taken B4 I bought the car in 1969, I bought the brown 1940 sedan as a parts car in 1971 but it was too good to wreck, its been a hotrod since 1973, and the 41 Plymouth Coupe I've had since 2007. I sold the Oz Coupe in about 1985 to a guy in western sydney & haven't seen nor heard of it since I talk better than I type........would like to call you & compare notes..........btw that pic I have of the rear shot of the dark blue Plymouth Coupe was taken nearly 40 yrs ago and its of the SAME Plymouth Coupe that you have a pic of on this topic but its now a tourquoise blue.........lol.......regards, Andy Douglas

 

Oh, how kool!!!

 

the avatar ?
got more pics of it ?
interesting quadlights

 

Well I hope to get this going in the spring.49 Windsor a year older then you asked but hey.

 

Great pictures, thanks for sharing, that chassis look wicked and well built.

 

I totally agree /\ /\ /\

 

Hi Andy, it was friggin awesome talking to someone else who owned a TJR 1940 Dodge coupe also mate, and a fellow hot rodder to boot. Thanks for sharing the pictures you have, i look forward to talking Mopar more often with you.

 

A big thanks to everyone, this thread is only getting better. Woo Hoo

 

Thank you "Hemiken" My biggest regret in building it was putting a Chevy in it.... Shoulda been an old Iron Hemi... That's what happens when you have too much cheap stuff layin around.... Was a neat street car for sure...
Thanx for this thread otherwise those old pix would have likely not been seen...

 

This is my first car, purchased April 1968. The red sticker in the winshield is my "Coon Rapids High School" parking permit.

 

You are not the first person i have heard say that they regret not putting a Mopar engine in a Mopar, and i highly doubt you will be the last. There is something gratifying about putting the right make engine in the same make of vehicle. But sometimes a good ole fashioned HEMI or new one, trumps the lot.

 

Heres a couple of pics of the 318 Poly thats lived in my 1940 Dodge since 1973..........in 74/75 I put on a factory twin four cast iron intake with the WCFB's, went thru a couple of fire extinguishers trying to tune the bastards, eventually got a pair of Offy crossram adaptors and ran a pair of 600 Holleys for a while, with a big cam & hi stall convertor it ran like a hairy goat( thats the only pic of that setup I have)........lol............found that Weiand single 4 intakes, # 7503, were still available(this was the late 70's) so got one of those intakes and have ran it with a single 600 holley since..........but I have since found another factory twin 4 intake, a pair of Edelbrock carbies and lol.......who knows what might happen..........an dyd

 

The old Poly fits real nice Andy.

 

Some more Mopars anyone ?

 

More Mopars.

 

Did someone say even more Mopars.

 

That's pretty neat, I live in coon rapids.
