Welcome to the no reserve low starting price auction of my '40 Plymouth nostalgia rod. This unique car gets noticed and stands out wherever it goes. It is a real crowd pleaser.

At car shows it always has a crowd around it and the nostalgia angle gets it welcomed equally at classic shows as well as American or Rod events.

It was built in the States with a few minor jobs (brake overhaul. pipes. flexies. head gaskets. fuel pump. water pump and carb overhauled) done over here before getting MOT'd registered and taxed. It is. of course. fully UK registered and taxed with all duties paid.

This car is all steel. and is very straight on top and rock solid and exceptionally clean underneath.

 It runs a 5. 0 Olds 307 V8 and a TH auto trans. The rear axle has quite tall gears so it lights up the tyres very easily. Both tyres light up so it must have a posi or locker in it. The exhaust has a lovely deep burble tone to it.

Suspension wise it is mainly original but behaves and drives well and the fitted power steering makes it easy to drive in town.

The handpainted enamelled signwriting and pinstriping was professionally done here in England and took over three days to do.

There is far too much to list but I should mention.

B&M shifter

Moon discs

Very good white wall tyres

CD player in glove box

Electric cooling fan

Re-wired.

Included in the auction is a complete jag xj40 rear end which I intended to install at some point.

I have many more pictures of the car (engine. underneath etc) please email me and I will send them to you.

Bad bits: Off side rear quarter window is cracked (see pics) but is an easy fix due to being flat glass. the keys supplied do not lock the doors (needs a couple of door barrels. simple fs locks). Gearbox rear prop seal weeps (new one in the boot along with trans filter. gasket. vacuum actuator and a gallon of oil) However there are no problems with the gearbox and it changes perfectly as it should these parts were bought as we intended to service the trans at some point.

I've added my phone number to this ad (07782 305 891) because it is much easier to answer your questions in person rather than sending messages backwards and forward. Please come and see just how good this car is. It is not perfect in the concours sense but it is a good useable 'rod in great condition.

Being UK registered this car will probably be accepted by most European countries for personal import – I will help in any way I can if you are a prospective EU buyer.

It is advertised elsewhere so I may remove from the auction early if she sells. I may be interested in part exchange. call me with your offers.  

The car is in North Essex. about 20 - 25 minutes from M11 junction 10. (or just over an hour's drive from Felixstowe or Harwich docks) Please email me via Ebay with a contact number and I will call you back to arrange a viewing. Thank you for looking.
