The things on the back window, were air( exhaust) deflectors, and claimed to “wash the rear window with fresh air”, and I never knew what the grab handles and rubber foot rests were for, were people really riding back there? Secret agents, maybe, on a Plymouth wagon? It’s a neat find, and evident, there’s still all kinds of crap out here, not really sure why.
10 sheets of plywood would easily fit, also causing severe sagging in the back. For many, like my old man, they served a multi-purpose role. 9 seat,I remember many of these, sagging horribly in the back, as the local soccer team piled out. He was an odd fellow, ran his own woodworking shop, and if you knew him, this fit his persona perfectly. Who’s game?Ģ0 ( 30?) years ago, I knew a guy that had a wagon like this. This is a cool wagon waiting for a better life. There’s no mention if the indicated 58,000 miles are accurate, but who says they couldn’t be? Once you fix up the interior, the AM radio comes next as it turns on, but no sound emerges. One oddity from the undercarriage is the dual exhaust: we see one regular muffler and one “glasspack”. The car performs well, but some more maintenance items are needed, like belts and hoses. Work has been done to get it going again, with new tires and a battery. The Belvedere retains its original but optional aluminum window screen for the rear. The passenger compartment has two of three bench seats in good condition, while the third, door panels and dashboard will all require attention. For the rest of us (me), I would start working on a repaint with the same kind of shiny finish it had in 1963. If you’re into patina, this red Plymouth should light your fire. We assume some indoor storage was involved because corrosion seems to be confined to one lower extremity. The same family has had this vehicle since Day 1 but parked it for reasons unknown in 1999. Budget-minded buyers ordered their Belvedere with a Slant-Six or 318 V8, but the purchase order for this wagon went with the powerful 383 engine with a push-button automatic transmission. Realizing the 1962 downsizing was a mistake (Chrysler heard a rumor that’s what Chevy was doing), the Savoy/ Belvedere/Fury was restyled in ’63 to look bigger but rode on the same unibody platform. $7,600 is the current bid without a reserve in sight to be met. Located in Fountain, Colorado, and sporting loads of patina, this transport is available here on eBay.
While it needs cosmetic attention, the Mopar is mechanically solid. This 1963 9-passenger wagon is a one-owner vehicle with a 330 hp, 383 cubic inch “Golden Commando” V8 under the hood. Sandwiched between the Savoy and Fury lineup in 1962, it was downsized with the rest of Plymouth’s automobiles, a move that proved to be a competitive disadvantage at the time. It was a full-size car at first before becoming a mid-side model in 1965. Belvedere was a Plymouth fixture from 1954 through 1970.
