Look what followed me home

I have never owned a vehicle this old. It's a 49 Plymouth Deluxe, Business coupe. And all MOPAR! 318 engine, 833 4 speed manual trans, 8 1/4 rear. It has an F body front suspension. This poor little thing has had a fair share of neglect in recent years. Just riddled with electrical issues, poorly running engine, cant find the gears, etc. Most of those issues are already resolved, and without even spending much money.

Hey Paul that is awesome.  

I mean seriously, that is one awesome looking ride.

That's one mean looking machine.  
Nothing like satin black to add presence!

[Mopar Nut]

Nice!

[alfaitalia]

That is very nice indeed. And that's coming from someone with no real interest in pre 1960 cars......but id drive that every day. Cool...

[1970Moparmann]

[Nacho-RT74]

WOW! I'd love to get one like that... but would change the interior look to something more vintage... thats all and jut about my taste.

business coupes looks so good

Ok, I got it now. Here is the little 318 powering this monster. What could it have, 200 HP at the most? 

[Paul G]

Anyone know how to decode the drivetrain? I have the numbers.

Should be a digit in front of the M for the year (probably a 6 for 1976)
M= Mound road engine plant
318= Displacement
5225= Build date November 17, 1975
008= Sequence number...the 8th built that day

4006730-318-12= '76-'79 318 block casting number


Trans; PP8332855 0213

PP= New process plant
833= 4-speed
2855= Build Date May 22, 1969
0213= Sequence number...the  213th built that day


Diff; 2852905

8 1/4"

Thanks John. The engine was built on my 17th birthday.

Paul, do you have some more pictures, glamour shots?  That ride deserves some serious poses and pics.

[Paul G]

What I have are all cell phone pics.
