1951 Plymouth built hot rod V8/AOD/Disc etc
I have a 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook 2dr P23 sedan which might need a new home. Mopar 377ci small block, a518 auto overdrive, power disc brakes & rebuilt suspension, interior, heated seats and more. Love her, but I need a snow vehicle.
Looking at $13,500 or best offer. Will drop price to $9500 obo after swapping in a milder V8 (318 2bbl), otherwise same car.
Located in Tahoe/Reno. Would consider Mopar/classic trade + cash.
