1959 Plymouth Savoy 318 Poly motor

This 1959 Plymouth Savoy 2-door sedan encapsulates the distinctive “Forward Look” styling, courtesy of Virgil Exner, that distinguishes it from typical cars of the era. Despite its vintage, this car retains its elegance with a characterful worn paint that tells a unique story, offering a nostalgically charming look.

Beneath the hood, you’ll find a robust 318 Poly motor equipped with a Schneider performance cam, offering a fine balance of power and reliability. The engine’s capabilities are further enhanced by a Holley Racing carburetor and a high-rise air cleaner, ensuring optimal performance and impressive acceleration for its size.

The car features a push-button transmission complemented by a shift kit and a torque converter, which delivers a smooth driving experience. Safety and handling are prioritized with the addition of 4-wheel disc brakes, allowing for confident stops. The rear axle also includes disc brakes, and fresh BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires provide a smooth ride.

Other important upgrades include a new gas tank and dual-exhaust mufflers, combined with a 4-row aluminum radiator and an electric fan with an aluminum shroud, keeping the engine cool and efficient on any journey. The car runs and drives excellently, tested by its clean title history.

While the interior requires some attention, with seats and headliner needing restoration, the fundamental framework and mechanical updates offer a compelling canvas for any classic car enthusiast. Experience driving this extravagantly styled Mopar classic, a testament to its era while providing the opportunity for personal customization and care.
