Plymouth Coupe 350 cubic inch V8 1940

Allgemeine Beschreibung : Beautiful frame-off build. 6200 miles, so it’s proven. Beautiful paint and bodywork, great interior. 350 Chevy with TH350 transmission. Cold A/C, power steering, disc brakes, and more. Cool “big tire” car without the big tire car hassles.

If you’re a Mopar guy looking for a cool pre-war street rod, or maybe you’re just tired of all the Fords you see at shows, then take a closer look at this beautiful 1940 Plymouth P9 sport coupe. It’s an all-steel build that started with a super clean original car and ended up with a cool pro-street cruiser that’s easy to live with. We have photos of the build and it shows this car being stripped to bare metal and rebuilt from there. As a result, the bodywork is incredibly straight and since there are no reproduction pieces available for these cars, it’s all OEM sheetmetal. It has a few details and modifications, including deleting the bumpers and shaving some of the trim, but the overall look is still very much the way Ma Mopar intended. The two-tone color combination is elegant and effective, making the car look long and lean without being excessively showy—we like that. There are some cool airbrushed graphics along the beltline that add some interest, and it’s all buried under the clearcoat for a seamless look. A custom tubular front bumper was fabricated and the taillights are cool LEDs built right into the bodywork, so it has a unique look. The doors close properly and line up beautifully, the decklid gaps are even, and the original butterfly-style hood snaps closed with minimal effort. They were sweating the details on this one when it went together.

Inside there’s a nicely finished two-tone cloth interior that’s made for all-day comfort. A bench seat seems appropriate in this 1940s cruiser and provides plenty of room for both driver and passenger (and even a third person in a pinch). The original dash was extensively reworked to house big, new gauges from Classic Instruments and they cover all the vitals—there’s even a cool little gauge that shows you which gear you’re in! Of course, you also get a billet tilt steering column, a wood-rimmed wheel, Lokar floor shifter, and a powerful AM/FM/CD stereo system that sounds pretty good. It also features ice cold A/C, making this a car that’s always ready to go. Full carpets with custom mats give it a well-tailored look and feel, and the airbrushed exterior graphics are continued on the dash. There’s some cargo space behind the seat, including a hidden panel that provides some secure, out-of-sight storage, and the trunk is neatly finished to match. There’s plenty of room for gear despite the oversized wheel tubs and 20-gallon fuel cell, and they even thought to add a courtesy light—nice!

The powertrain doesn’t break any new ground, but it does provide the kind of easy, low-maintenance properties most guys want. Sure, the car has a nasty look with those giant tires, but living with an 800 horsepower mountain motor isn’t always easy. Instead, you get a smooth, torquey, easy-to-maintain Chevrolet 350 cubic inch V8 topped with a 4-barrel carburetor and HEI distributor. Hit the key and it fires right up and there’s plenty of power on tap to make it entertaining. You’ll also find a big radiator to keep it effortlessly cool, some chrome dress-up, and note that the paint scheme continues under the hood. The transmission is a TH350 3-speed automatic that combines with 3.91 gears out back to make it punchy, but those tall tires do a good job of calming things down on the highway, so don’t sweat it if you want to go on a road trip. The front suspension includes power rack-and-pinion steering, disc brakes, and tube shocks, so it rides, stops, and steers nicely, while the narrowed Chrysler 8.75-inch rear is held up on traditional ladder bars and coil-overs. The rumbling exhaust sounds great but doesn’t get obnoxious thanks to stainless mufflers, and everything tucks up tight in the chassis for zero ground-clearance issues. This is a car that was built to drive. It gets its awesome pro-street stance complements of polished aluminum wheels wearing 26x7.50-15 front and giant 33x19.50-15 rear Mickey Thompson tires.

Documentation includes a set of build photos.

There’s no denying that the fat tires are an intimidating look, so if you like having that built-for-speed vibe but aren’t so sure you’re ready to give up the creature comforts to get it, this Plymouth delivers. It’s easy to drive, comfortable, plenty fast, and definitely generates attention wherever it goes. It has been thoughtfully built to simply work the way a car should work and the quality that went into it shows everywhere you look. If that’s your kind of car, give us a call today!
