daniel boeve Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 There is a Plymouth for sale in Belgium that was in service till 1963.Since then the owner passed and the car sat next to the heating system and was preserved .It did 40.000 KM .These cars with the big wings are all gone since long and also these had a very bad reputation to rust .The headlights fell out after a few years .This car is like new in and out .But it has the 6 cylinder flat head with manual gearbox .These cars have been used here for taxis many times in Brussels .I was amazed that such car could survive .I know exporting to the US is expensive and its no power car neither only good to go from point A to point B at your ease.Price is not determinated at this moment . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK M Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Do these cars have some spots on them or is it just the camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel boeve Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 I found more pictures on my camera on the chevrolet 1960.It seems to me that a1959 Plymouth is of not much interest even how good it is .But i understand .No problemo .We all want power under our hood .

daniel boeve Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 Now i even see its a floor shift .But don't know if automatic was under the steering wheel and manual on the ground . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Common to have a floor shifter in a car that was converted from automatic to standard shift. My guess it’s a 348 cubic inch engine under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) @TerryB does the gold V under the crossed flags on the ‘60 Chev indicate a 348 under the hood originally? I have seen some with a silver V there (283) and no V there (6cyl) as well as the gold. Same goes for the emblem on the trunk??

TerryB Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 It was my belief that the gold V was the indicator of 348 under the hood but I don’t have written proof of that. As a young guy in that era we had heard things like that, some of which were true and others not so much. The 1960-63 big Chevy cars are among my all time favorites.

The 55er Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I believe in 1960 the grille emblems for both the 283 & 348 V8 powered cars had a gold V. The 283 cars had a Chevrolet emblem similar to the sixes with a V and the 348 cars had cross flags with a V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Exactly right @The 55er……pictured below are the 283 V-8 and 6 cyl emblems. It appears the ‘60 pictured above may have a factory 4 spd floor shifter….. my second car, purchased in 1970, was a 1961 Impala w/ a 348 & 4 spd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well , i could contact the owner and he said to me its 348 ci floor shifter .He is aware that in the US the people are crazy about those cars .Since the internet everybody knows everything .He looked at Hagerty and was amazed that the prices went so high for those models .We was so happy before the internet spoiled eveything . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
