Plymouth is one of those revered brands of yesteryear. Named after a brand of binder twine that was from, surprise, surprise, Plymouth, the brand's logo featured the outline of the Mayflower, the English ship that landed in the USA carrying the first Pilgrims. This particular 1948 Plymouth P15 Coupe hails from the brand's post-war efforts, and is a restomod, of sorts. With a comprehensive restoration and refinements added, it's a great classic car to drive while enjoying some modern features. Purists may look away, but the pragmatic will have their curiosity piqued. Let's discover what this car brings to the table.
This 1948 Plymouth P15 Coupe is a Special Deluxe Club Coupe model and has been painted in Navy Blue. That's a fitting color since Forties cars were typically black or dark shades rather than the pastel hues that came with the Fifties and beyond. The car rolls on a nice set of black steel wheels with chrome hubcaps that bear the Plymouth script on them. From outside, there's nothing to say that this car is a restomod. Inside is where we start to see some hints of this 1948 Plymouth P15 Coupe's restomod nature. The original gauge cluster has been augmented by an aftermarket voltmeter, and there's aftermarket air conditioning to keep the cabin cool. The current owner tells us that the interior upholstery has been redone, and it certainly shows with the plush seats appearing at their best. The glovebox hides a modern Kenwood AM/FM head unit with a remote control. A glance downwards will reveal a center console has been added, containing cupholders and storage for your CDs. Finally, we've got power windows, so there's no need to manually crank the windows up and down.
Now for some tasty bits. First off, this 1948 Plymouth P15 Coupe comes with a potent 5.2L V8 under the hood, replete with Edelbrock heads and a Carter AFB-series 4-barrel carb. Then, we've got a tuned dual exhaust system for a V8 rumble that totally sets this car apart. Since when did a Forties Plymouth rumble and roar like this one does? The car also boasts a high-capacity radiator and drives the rear wheels through an automatic gearbox and a Plymouth Duster rear end. Meanwhile, the front end is from a Ford Mustang II.
Plymouth was one of America’s most esteemed automakers, debuting in 1928 under the vision of Walter P. Chrysler. Contrary to popular belief, its name wasn’t inspired by Plymouth Rock but rather Plymouth Binder Twine, a nod to its strong association with farmers—a strategic marketing decision to bolster sales. Although the Plymouth brand ceased production in 2001, its legacy thrives in classic models like this meticulously restored 1947 Plymouth P15 Special Deluxe. This classic car embodies Plymouth's heritage while boasting modern enhancements for superior performance, making it a coveted collectible ready for its next chapter.

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!
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
