Do you ever get sick of seeing certain cars? While I may not speak for the majority of the BangShift crew, I’ve grown apathetic to cookie cutter 30’s Street Rods as of late. I know that they are cool, and I totally understand why people like them, but the same old cookie cutter “stuff a 350/TH350 in it and paint it yellow/red/etc” formula has grown tired on me. Go to any fairground or cruise night car show this summer, and you can guarantee to see more than a few of these. Every time I see one, I yearn to see one that’s built differently than the rest.

This one is different.

We found this car lurking on the List of Craigs, awaiting a new owner. On the outside, it’s just another Street Rod wearing Torq Thrusts, this one being a 1933 Plymouth. Instead of a primary color, it’s wearing a shade of gold-ish tan that’s more suitable for a 1997 Camry than a car like this. But look closer, and you’ll see that there’s some design cues that are out of place. Let’s dive in and see what’s up with this thing!

So, there you have it: there’s a 1933 Plymouth out there sporting a Chrysler Turbo I four cylinder. IN THE TRUNK.

That’s definitely not what we expected to see when we first saw pictures of this thing, that’s for sure!

Now, comes the hard part: placing a value on it. The current owner has it listed for $17,995. That’s really strong money for an 80’s-built custom Plymouth, nevermind one with a Turbo Mopar mounted midships. But man, that’s certainly different than just about every Street Rod I’ve ever seen littering the fairgrounds and parking lots of America.

Like always, we’d love to hear your thoughts on this relic of the 1980’s, so drop us a line below in the comments section!

Here’s the ad on Craigslist!

And here’s the text in case it disappears:

This is a very unique car.

Built by Bob Selix

This is a turn key car.

It has a 1985 Chrysler New Yorker 2.2 4cyl turbo charged front wheel drive engine and trans axle mounted in the rear of the car

The builder of this car spent many hours building a frame, installing the front end, entire engine assembly, and putting all the parts

from the New Yorker in this car.

The front end is a Chrysler La baron/ Volare

It has p/s, p/b, a/c, p/w, p/l, sun roof

Sony AM/FM CD with blue tooth and remote

It’s all steel.

It has new American Racing wheels and tires, battery, fuel tank, fuel pump, and sender It would make a great cruiser for car shows, or just to have fun

I’m asking $17,995.00 for the car. I prefer cash, but would take part trade.
