This 3-owner P-18 spent its first 62 years relaxing
in Indiana before I bought it and brought it
to Michigan in 2011. I now find it necessary to sell
this car to pay for restoration costs on my other Plymouth.
The second owner had it repainted the
original grey in 1983. In 1996 it was reupholstered
in the original sew pattern but a different fabric.
The seats, arm rests, headliner, door panels have no wear!
The woodgrain is exceptional! Two typical areas that
needed re-graining were the front door garnish moldings.
That graining has been done professionally and matches!
There are photos of both door garnishes.
I added a high-mount LED brake light in 2012.
The new chrome on the bumpers is brilliant
as it is on the other pot-metal parts.
The rubber sill plates have been replaced
with billet aluminum sills.
The original 218 CID flathead six
has a split exhaust manifold with new
“Smitty” mufflers installed last year.
Transmission is the original 3-speed and the
differentialgear is 3.54!
The “Chrysler” style wire wheels and Coker
tires were added in 2002. The chrome wire
wheels have no nicks, rust or other damage.
The tires, however, are now 14 years old
and by today’s standards should be replaced.
The floors and rocker panels are solid.
There is one small area of perforation in the drivers
floor that had beenpatched by the ownerin the 1980s.
I had received some calls regarding the perforation
so I took off the sill plate and lifted the carpet to
inspect the area I spotted from below. He had used silicon
and a piece of galvanized sheetand secured it with screws.
I have included a photo of the area from underneath.
Areas of concern: If I were keeping this car
I would address an oil leak, replace all
three flexible rubber brake lines,
repair the radio (again), add a rear ash tray,
add the stainless trim to the windshieldsand replace
the windshield divider bar with the chrome bar.
You have noted that the last owner
added several trim items
to turn this P-18 Deluxe into a Special Deluxe.
Hopefully, my large clear photos will
answer all your questions.
If not, give me a call at 586-596-1473.
The car is located in Roseville, MI 48066.
Payment: $500.00 Deposit by PayPal within 48 hours.
Balance cash at time of pick-up or electronic bank
transfer prior to pick-up. Pick-up to be within 30 days.
It would be worth your time to come see and drive this Plymouth!
