'59 Belvy 'vert for sale!

Post by Faulkner »

I saw an ad in "The Plymouth Bulletin", and wrote to Jeff. Here's what he says:

1959 Plymouth Belvedere convertible. Started a full restoration 5 years ago on a nice running and driving car and never finished it. Many extra and NOS parts. "Assembly required."

When did you last see one? $15,000.

Wow! Jeff has dropped the price on this rare car:
Hi Dan,

Would it be possible to repost my car with a new price? I have dropped the
price to 9,500.

Thanks

Update on Jeff Krug's Belvy 'Vert

Post by Faulkner »

I asked Jeff for some more pix of his car in it's present condition -- here's the first three of fifteen pix, more to follow this post. Jeff writes:
Hi Dan,

Here is a ZIP file with 15 pictures as it currently sits. I've had it since 1989 and drove it frequently until I decided to do a full restoration in 1998. It was a 3- (1-5 scale) on the exterior, probably a 4 interior, but there was some rust on the floor pans and near the rear wheel openings. It is an original black car with PS/PB and 3 speed automatic. The frame has been cleaned (sandblasted) and painted with POR-15.


The engine/transmission and drive shaft are out. The original 318 was running when I pulled it and the transmission was also working fine. I have a rebuilt ready-to-assemble (machined block, new pistons, connecting rods, etc.) 361 Commando with 2x4 manifold that goes with the car. The front clip is also off. A set of rust-free western front fenders and NOS grill go with the car.

Doors and interior are out as is the convertible top assembly. All glass is good and the doors have been Redi-stripped and primed. No rust on them. Lots of extra stainless included.

The bumpers still look good but should be rechromed if going all out on the restoration. All stainless and chrome trim are very good. Interior should be redone and top is original, so it needs replacement also. Lots of misc parts also go with the car. Car is 100% complete except for the gas tank which was lost by the outfit which was supposed to repair it.

What's required to put it back on the road? You can probably get a feel from the description and pictures; I would say it's relatively easy (as these
thing go) as there is not a lot of serious rust, and very few parts to chase. The car is in Greenville, South Carolina.

Thanks for you interest.
