Taylormade Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) SOLDReluctantly selling my 1948 Plymouth P15 Super Deluxe sedan. Selling, only because I found and bought back the first car I ever owned – a 1932 Dodge – so the Plymouth has to go due to lack of garage space.This car has never seen rain or snow in the seven years I’ve owned it. It came from South Carolina and is an original 77,000 mile car.This is a solid car. No rust in the floors, inner or outer rockers. You won’t have to replace the usual Mopar rust outs with this vehicle.this is a nice driver ready for a weekend outing. just turn the key and drive it.Since I have owned the car the following work has been done.New master cylinderNew brake hosesNew clutch (this year)Rebuilt pressure plate (this year)New throw-out bearing (this year)New rubber brake, clutch and accelerator pedalsNew rubber steering column padAll new wiring in the original pattern for Rhode Island Wiring Co.Rebuilt starter and generatorNew voltage regulatorNOS heat gauge that actually works.Rebuilt all instruments. All work, but the gas gauge is a bit iffy at times.All new knobs for the dashRebuilt entire front suspension – upper and lower arms, new shocksNew rear shocksNew WW tires – less than 700 milesCleaned and flushed engine – all freeze plugs removed and replaced. Water passages thoroughly cleanedEngine cleaned and painted with POR-15 engine paint in the original silver.NOS exhaust manifold with working heat riserNew spark plug wires with “waterproof” sealers over the plugsNew battery (this week)New battery and ground wires – correct six voltRadiator flushed and pressure tested.New radiator hoses with correct period clampsFirewall and inner fenders repaintedFirewall grommets replaced with NOSThe car runs perfectly – no smoke, no overheating. It drives great. Cruising speed is a comfortable 55, but you could install an overdrive unit if you want to hit the interstate.Paint is 80% original. It’s a15 footer with a few nicks and scrapes. No dents or rust holes. Stainless is nice, one or two small dimples that can be taken out easily. The car has two PERFECT lower stainless trim pieces. These are almost impossible to find these days – especially on the passenger side where they usually got crunched by the curb.The bumper chrome is original and presentable, but far from show quality.The pot metal tail lights, door handles and hood ornament have light pitting, but look pretty good.The interior was redone before I bought it. It’s nice, but not in the original pattern. All the lights workDoors open and close solidly. All window glass goes up and down smoothly.New Rebuilt vacuum wiper motor.The car needs:A new speedometer cableNew rubber for the front vent (available from Steele)New rubber on the door sills (service available)A new homePrice is $6000 firm. You already know I have more than that in it, but I enjoy working on these old cars and I’m not out to make a killing. Just don’t hot rod it.The car is located in Southern IllinoisRichard Taylortaylormd@madisontelco.comCell 314-780-4422Home 618-635-2444 Edited February 11, 2013 by Taylormade (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
