"1965 Plymouth Belvedere II 2 Door Hardtop
""You give this good looking Plymouth half a chance, and it could end up in your driveway before you know it. Half a chance means getting a close look at the real thing, and driving it. There's something noticeably responsive about an engine and drivetrain guaranteed 5 years of 50,000 miles. If this is the year you picked to buy a new car, you picked a beautiful year to Get up and go to Plymouth! See Plymouth in action on the 'The Bob Hope Show' and 'The Huntley Brinkley Report,' NBC TV."" From a period print ad.
For consignment, a 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II hardtop showing 11,643 miles, but the true miles are unknown. Gone is the pedestrian 318ci V8 and it is now housing a rebuilt 440 under the scooped hood. She's a spectacle in black and rides on police wheels, and there's no crime in that!
Exterior
Two stage Ebony paint glistens like a vat of ink on this two door car with boxy lines and a fantastic curved rear window that creates a V-shaped C-pillar, wild and unique. If you want to make a black car look meaner, put some black wheels on it, and here we have 15-inch Mopar police wheels with dog dish hubcaps presenting like an undercover FBI unit that's really not all that discreet. Of course, that wide mouth hood scoop is good cover for your stakeout, because it looks more like a street fighter, so cool that even the modern day Demon has a scoop that is reminiscent. Finely cut cells in the grille stretch the width and surround the single headlights, while single and simple rear tail lights bookend the latch panel trim over a straight chrome bumper and on this car, twin chrome exhaust tops, narrow but wide. Paint and metal are very nice on the car with one area of waviness noted as the only imperfection.
Interior
Bold pleats on the insert of the black door panel constitute the only bit of detail on the simple and clean units, each with a fitted wood armrest. The pattern of pleats is repeated on the black vinyl split bench seat which presents in very nice condition and is copied by the rear bench where the wood armrests are also duplicated. Patina dresses the wood rimmed steering wheel with sport chrome spokes while white faced AutoMeter gauges line the faceplate of the instrument cluster, a brushed nickel affair that shows some patina as well. A big Sun tach is perched on top of the dash while an AM radio lives in the middle and a nod to the grille design is represented in the glove box door. A B&M shifter on the floor could use a new boot and the black carpet shows some age. The headliner is in good shape and the trunk has a vinyl mat showing usage.
Drivetrain
Under that scooped hood is a presentable circa 1978 440ci V8, the top end of which was rebuilt 3,000 miles ago, says our consignor, and an Edelbrock intake is topped by a Holley 4-barrel carburetor. According to our consignor, the A727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic behind it was rebuilt 1,200 miles ago and sends power to the 8 � in rear with 3.23 gears. Drum brakes are employed front and rear and headers host the first part of the exhaust journey.
Undercarriage
Dry conditions prevail underneath and minimal surface rust is noted. Dual exhaust runs through FlowMaster mufflers, then straight back to the widened chrome tips. Suspension consists of torsion bars up front and leaf springs in back. There is a rusted gap on the radiator core support near the frame.
Drive-Ability
The late 70's 440 roars to life with a turn of the key and your cover is instantly blown on your stakeout, and now it's time to test your mettle in this black beauty. Although she's got good power and track straight, there is some slop noted in the steering and she pulls right on braking. But accelerating to catch bad guys would be no problem at all! Items that are not currently functioning include the radio, the heater blower, the horn, and the tachometer. All other items operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Once a mild mannered commuter car, now a dark knight with a great profile, an aggressive hood, and bad to the bone wheels. This built muscle car now belongs to the coveted world of Mopar muscle so special that there are entire car shows and gatherings dedicated to that single genre of American automobiles. Are you ready to protect and serve this '65? Fortunately for you, there are no speed limits to how fast you can dial the phone to call us today!
