Location: Muskego, WI | My dad and I recently tracked down and purchased his first car, a 1939 Chrysler Imperial Victoria Coupe. In an effort to make room for this project, I think I have to let my beloved Plymouth go.
I've owned it since 2019, it was off the road since 1976. I have replaced or rebuilt just about everything mechanical. Engine, trans, rear axle, front and rear suspensions. Car is very reliable, I have twice driven it over 700 miles round trip. Surprising good on gas, it has an AX15 5 speed manual in it. I have put about 9,000 miles on it since 2021. I have not touched the body, it will need floor work but they have been good enough for daily driving, I have even hauled a ford flathead v8 in the back. I have a very nice front driver fender from Big M and tons of spare parts. Details of the build in the thread below, for now I have it only advertised here. I have no idea what a car like this is worth, I will start by asking $8,750. Send me a PM if interested and then we can talk directly. Below are some of the repair highlights, again the details are in the link
Refreshed engine (honed, new rings and bearings, port matched intake, heads and exhaust manifolds)
Rebuilt AX15 transmission
New flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, pilot bearing, clutch fork, master and slave cylinders (hydraulic with external slave, easy to replace)
New drive shaft and u-joints
4 wheel disc brakes from AAJ, new master cylinder, stainless steel lines (car stops excellent)
All new wheel bearings and seals
New rear leaf springs, bushings, shocks
New front shocks, bushings, ball joints
New center link
New fuel tank, copper-nickel lines, AN return line
Factory 4 barrel intake with 500 cfm Edelbrock
New dual exhaust
Everything works other than the heat selector, the plastic vacuum connector is crumbled. Car does put out heat though and the fan works, you just can't redirect where the heat goes.
