Leif in Calif Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Looks like a great car to be a "first classic" .... https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/emeryville-1949-plymouth-special-deluxe/7745062870.html I had planned a more lengthy restoration, but a move is forcing the sale of my very-complete, clean-titled, 1949 Plymouth Special Deluxe club coupe. It has a flat-head Chrysler 318 straight 6 and three speed manual transmission. It runs, drives and stops like a champ. Currently fully registered and valid until May of '25. It's not going to win any concours awards, but it's a cool, drivable classic that garners a lot of smiles and attention. It does have some rust and could someday use a new floor pan. (Someone before me successfully patched it, albeit not super professionally). New parts: - Remanufactured carburetor (not just rebuilt) - New fuel pump - New 6v battery - New aluminum radiator - New gas cap - Fuel system flush - Fresh oil change/filter - Brake master cylinder rebuild - New front/rear brake hoses - New brake cylinders and shoes - New rear brake hard lines Needs: - Rear window seal (I have the parts) - Pinion seal (I have the parts) - Driveshaft u-joint boots (I have the parts) - New fuel level sender email: 815c10a1107f39b9b88fba730ae1e521@sale.craigslist.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad either had a sense of humor or wanted something I wouldn't kill myself in. I think a little of both. Except mine had 9k original miles on it when I got it and 25k 2 brothers later when we sold it for 1500 bucks. Have never had the slightest urge to get another. Although sometimes the 49-51 Wayfarer Roadster sneaks in to my head. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
