1963 Plymouth Belvedere

January 2005 Mopar of the Month

Dan writes:  In June 2003 I purchased my 1963 Plymouth Belvedere,
an original California car, from a friend.

The Plymouth was completely stock: everything was there but needed work.
The Belvedere had a 318 Poly engine with a 727 push button automatic transmission,
and power steering.		 1963 Plymouth Belvedere, front

I repaired the rust and prepped the body for painting, then had a local paint shop
put a two stage paint job, and color sand and polish the new paint.


I installed a 8.75 rear end from a 1968 Plymouth and added a 3:23 SureGrip unit in the pumpkin.

Then I had a 360 engine rebuilt, adding a 625cfm AVS carburetor,
Crane cam and lifters, Edelbrock Air Gap manifold, and a set of coated Hedman Headers.

The carpet came from Trim Parts and the door panels
from Legendary Interiors.		 1963 Plymouth Belvedere, interior


Four 15x7 TorqueThrust II with P21565R15 tires were installed. 1963 Plymouth Belvedere, rear driver's side

Much deserving of compliments!   smile!
