 1949 Plymouth Deluxe 2 door. A little background on this car. My grandpa was a car guy and bought this off his buddy which was ORIGINAL owner approx. 40 years ago. My grandpa had it painted. interior. and chrome work done approx. 20 years ago.  Always a California vehicle that's been well taken care of. no accidents and garaged at least the last 40 years.  As far as paint its not perfect small chips that are touched up. surface scratches. 1 paint drip below antenna. dings here and there.  A good color sand and buff could take care of some of that.  That being said it looks very good for its age and has a nice shine. Interior is clean. a couple scuffs barely visible on the side of driver seat . headliner is coming down at back window not a hard fix. Chrome and stainless very nice with few dings. pitting and minor peeling.  Two of the windows have small cracks. not really noticeable unless your looking for them but its flat glass so easy to get cut. Goodyear tires with good tread and a matching spare.  Car is complete. Tail light lenses are NOS.  Weather stripping is good. could use new rubber at the wing windows. Built in center console that houses heat/ac controls and  Kenwood cd player with 4 speakers throughout. Seat belts front and rear. Wiper motor not hooked up should need just a vacuum line. Windows roll up and down good. doors open and close good. I have no key for doors or trunk but do have one for the gas cap. glove box and ignition. Has the well known ribbed bumpers everyone throws on their customs. Car gets a lot of attention wherever it goes.  
 Now for the kicker. This is not granny's grocery getter. When I picked up the car it just was not up to my mechanical liking. I rather drive a classic than dust it off and look at it. A ton of work has been done to bring this car up to today's driving. handling and dependability standards. My intention was to keep the original look. Here is what has been done. I purchased a excellent running low mileage(40. 00) 2003 Chevy S10 and swapped everything over. Been built and driven this way for years. I have used Ranger frames they have front alignment issues. Mustang 2 frontends are just not heavy enough and Camaro sub frames get stitched onto on builds.  I will only use S10 frames these days because they have a solid/tight feeling and can rebuild the whole thing at a inexpensive price.  
Donor truck was real clean and maintained 2003 Chevy s10 still has a whole lot of life left in it.
 Around 49. 00 miles on it now and can be proven by original S10 odometer. This drivetrain set up has a lot of life left in it. S10 parts are available almost everywhere and are inexpensive. Any shade tree mechanic can work on it.

 S10 frame. boxed. c notched. bagged rear(no compressor) manual fill air valve no leaks. 4 link with panhard bar. drop spindles and lowered springs in front. nbsp;new bushings through out. It sits a little lower than a stock 49 would. Will lay on frame if YOU complete the bag set up in front. add compressor and all that stuff.
 S10 cluster and steering column with 3 spoke steering wheel. Horn. nbsp;headlights. blinkers. tail lights. hazard. back up and dome lights work. All lights are bright. All gauges work properly.
All S10 air conditioning and heating components were used. Ac could use a charge. Being in California I just drive it with my arm out the window.
 S10 Power steering is tight. power ABS disc brakes front and drums in the rear make it stop on a dime. Stock older powder coated Plymouth wheels used with adapters. Dog dish caps are not mint condition.  
  S10 Fuel injected Vortec v6 all stock untouched from air cleaner to tailpipe. Runs quiet can hear the hum of the electric fuel pump over the motor. PCM has economy/ performance tune. Has OBD 2 port so any $20 code reader will work to trouble shoot or clear codes. No DTC present see cluster pic. Even though car does NOT need to be smoged it would still pass.
 S10 4L60E Automatic transmission. Rear end is geared for the highway. it does some mean 1 wheel burn outs though. Cruises at 80 mph just fine (see the speedo pic. it also shows mileage but that will go up slightly because I'm driving it till sells). Quick with smooth shifting.
RCI 15 gal. Aluminum gas tank using S10 fuel pump. Complete S10 wire harness with 2 sets of fuse blocks.
 Firewall moved to accommodate things.  Fabricated sheet metal tunnel in floor for driveshaft. raised floor in trunk for c notch and removable sheet metal to access suspension. hood has pins and lifts off.  Hitch welded to frame with trailer light plug. Good for hitting the swap meets with a trailer or towing a Harley around.   Runs cool and strong in the traffic on hot Cali days. This ain't a trailer queen its a driver. I take it all over the place never had an issue. Never left me stranded or feeling disappointed. Title in my name. nbsp;registered till next year. Also will include a title that matches S10 drivetrain and frame(probably one of the only sellers that would provide that). Selling because I can use the $$$ to complete other projects. No sugar coating done on the description.  Yes it needs very little work here and there but nothing major. The Plymouth is awesome as is and that's the way I drive it. Was just driven to Ventura Nationals its an hour from my house.
Check out the video. Its low quality because I used a vintage camera. It shows the engine bay well and the car making a few passes down the road.
