Bracket Racer: 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II Hardtop

If I'm going to pay money for a classic car, its gonna be for the experience.  I'll pay for something that is unique, interesting, fast (or slow...depends on mood), and fun.  What I won't pay for is some silly badge of exclusivity, the latest trendy flashy cool car, an over priced restoration, or more money than some other guy in a Vegas style auction environment suited to the seller's best interest. This next car is something I could park my hard earned sawbucks into. Find this 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II Hardtop offered for $4900 in Petaluma, CA via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.

Customized Pickup: 1956 Plymouth Belvecamino

This next feature is a bit of a mystery to me, mostly because I profess little acumen when it comes to identifying 50's Plymouth products, and can't tell the difference between a Plaza, Savoy, and Belvedere without consulting my handy Spotters Guide To 50s Mopar, but what I can tell you about is custom El Camino'd '56 Plymouths.  Those, I can spot.  Here is one.  Find this 1956 Plymouth Suburban (Wagon) converted to El Camino offered for $13,900 in Los Angeles, CA via craigslist.

15k: 4 Doors Good, 2 Doors Better: 1966 Plymouth Belvedere

All 60's Muscle cars are equal, but some cars are more equal than others.  

George Orwell in his dystopian novel Animal Farm wrote about a group of animals who overthrow their druken owner and eventually assumed some human qualities; it is an allegory about the Stalinist takeover of Russia and a great read for young and old alike.  As the pig leaders morph from rebels to lords they start to assume the habits of their previous owners and adpot the mantra "Four legs good, two legs better."  In the classic car market there is a similar phrase, Four doors good, two doors better.  Find this 1966 Plymouth Belvedere offered for $17,000 in Arcata, CA via craigslist.  Tip from Kaibeezy.
