Founded in 1928 by Walter P. Chrysler himself, Plymouth would eventually see the sunset in 2001. One of the early brands in America’s automobile industry, Plymouth was Chrysler Corporation’s low-price competitor, to take on Ford and Chevrolet at the time. During the Great Depression of 1930-1940, the brand continued producing cars for a struggling public, with models such as the Plymouth Coupe. Nowadays, there are those who like their Thirties cars as original as possible, and those who seek some modernization and customization. If you’re a person from the latter, this 1936 Plymouth Coupe Restomod is suited for you. Read on to find out why this garage-kept example deserves a space, not just in your garage, but in your heart.
Modeled as a hot rod, this 1936 Plymouth Coupe Restomod rocks a new red paintjob, and shaved doors for a truly distinctive stance. It’s jaw-dropping power is further enhanced by its five-spoke, mag-style American Racing polished alloy wheels draped in low-profile tires. The podded headlamps have been enhanced with modern halogen reflector-type units, and the tall vertical grille enjoys some glitz too. Round back, two slit-style tail lamps are the only disruption to the smooth profile, and two polished exhaust tips are visible on either side. The interior has also received the restomod treatment, with modern seats draped in red and black leather and sporting lap belts for safety. A closer look reveals that the driver’s seat enjoys some power adjustments too! That’s not all. A Grant GT sport steering wheel has been installed as well, as have new white-faced gauges from TPI Tech. Even in-car entertainment has taken a much needed upgrade, with a Pioneer head unit that supports CD, WMA, MP3, and AUX in addition to regular, and satellite radio, sitting between two polished air vents for the ventilation system. It also appears that power windows have been installed, judging by the presence of switches on the doors.
Whatever came as stock with this 1936 Plymouth Coupe Restomod, which was likely a carbureted in-line six that produced 100hp or less has been removed, and in its place, a modern Chevrolet Corvette LS1 V8 engine with fuel injection has been slotted in. This grants a much needed power boost, as the LS1 is likely pushing close to 300hp to the rear wheels, via an automatic transmission. The seller reports that the suspension, brakes, and transmission are new, and that an oil change has been performed recently.

Automakers don’t do silly things anymore. Like, say, create a muscle car and name it after a beloved cartoon character. Or spend a significant sum of money to buy the naming rights from the intellectual property holder of said character. Or spend even more money after that to develop a horn that sounds just like that character’s jaunty cry. That’s what Plymouth did in the Sixties, with the Road Runner. They paid Warner Brothers US$50,000 to license their Road Runner character’s name and likeness. Then, they spent a further $10,000 to develop a horn that said “Beep Beep” just like the character did on screen. Was it a success? You bet! In fact, if not for the Malaise Era’s impending arrival and renewed focus on fuel economy and emissions, the Road Runner might have run a little bit longer than 1980. Today, we have a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner for sale from Jacksonville, Florida. With a nice 383ci V8, an automatic gearbox and an aftermarket head unit from Pioneer, this 42,228-mile machine is a fine catch for a savvy collector of American classics – or someone who wants to start a collection.
Plymouth may no longer be around, but this storied American auto brand that was under Chrysler’s umbrella will perhaps be best remembered for their Road Runner muscle car. It may seem comical, naming a muscle car after a cartoon character – the Road Runner from the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons by Warner Brothers. It might seem even more comical that Plymouth paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers to license the name for the car. And it might seem ridiculous that they spent an extra $10,000 merely to develop a horn that made the signature “Beep Beep” sound of the Road Runner from the cartoons. Remember, all this was in Sixties money, so you can do some calculations and see how much was actually spent by Plymouth to get this iconic muscle car as right as possible. Today, Road Runners are highly desirable, so we’re glad that one has come our way. This 1969 Plymouth Road Runner hails from Pittsburgh and has got a 383ci V8 engine under its hood. If you’d like to catch this bird, give us a call or shoot us a DM right now – don’t call the coyote who clearly needs some coaching.
Beep Beep! Move over, it’s the Road Runner! Named after the lovable Warner Brothers character from the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons, Plymouth reportedly paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers for the right to use the Road Runner name and likeness. They spent a further $10,000 on development of a signature “Beep Beep” horn as well! Needless to say, the Road Runner was a massive success and remains one of America’s most loved muscle cars to this day. Now, we have a chance for one lucky enthusiast to get their hands on a massively upgraded 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Restomod from Milford, Pennsylvania. With its 440ci V8, Tremec TK500 5-speed manual transmission and Holley Six Pack Tri-Power system, this is one speedy car!
With its roots in 1885, the Triumph Motor Company of Great Britain is one of the country’s most well-known sports car makers. They’re known for a fine line-up of TR models which are sports cars, typically open-topped ones called Roadsters. Sadly, Triumph went bust in 1984, but the assets are currently owned by BMW. While the Bavarian automaker shows no plans to resurrect the brand, much of their historic production still remains alive. This 1971 Triumph TR6 is one such example and it’s for sale in Greenville, South Carolina. With its 2.5-liter straight six, convertible top cover and original owner’s manual, this is a fine catch for someone who wishes to sample the British Roadster lifestyle. And let us tell you, it’s quite an addictive driving experience!
If you want a German classic car with some modern conveniences, a V8 under the hood and a fine legacy, you can’t go amiss by choosing a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 era. Over 300,000 were made between 1971 and 1989, of which two thirds came to North America. The R107 redefined the term boulevard cruiser, with its performance, luxury interior and driving manners over long distances. If that sounds like your cup of tea, we have this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL for sale right now. It’s from Scottsdale, Arizona, and has covered just over 71,000 miles so far. It’s also got a smooth M177 5.6-liter V8 under the hood.
Now here’s a legend of the muscle car scene, the fearsome Oldsmobile 442. Made between 1964 and 1980 as a proper performance machine, it was well-known for decimating nearly all comers at the drag strip. The 442 was potent out of the box, but it could also be tuned with near unlimited scope. Today, those who seek a 442 do so not only for its performative capabilities but its style as well. That’s why we are proud to offer this Torrance-based second-generation 1969 Oldsmobile 442 for sale. With under 107,000 miles, it’s definitely been enjoyed but has so much more to give. Of course when you’ve got a 400ci V8 under the hood and a stick shift to control it with, you don’t want to end journeys too quickly…
