1938 Plymouth Other
NO EXPENSE SPARED!
WELL DOCUMENTED, FRESH COMPLETE CUSTOM BUILD/RESTORATION!
THIS 1938 PLYMOUTH COUPE GASSER NOT ONLY LOOKS THE PART OF A CLASSIC GASSER, IT RUNS LIKE ONE WITH ITS BUILT HEMI AND 5-SPEED TRANSMISSION!
The project started with an all steel, rust free 1938 Plymouth Coupe. It was taken down to the frame for a complete, professional restoration/custom build. No expense was spared in order to build this period-correct Gasser, including the complete overhaul of the Chrysler Fire Power 331 Hemi. Everything works and it is a pleasure to drive. It always gets a lot of attention wherever it goes and it has also been a crowd favorite and a trophy winner at the shows.

<Exterior: The build was done in 2012 with a solid, rust free 1938 Plymouth coupe with working crank out windshield and cowl vent. The body was painted with Eastwood’s Flat black paint along with some hand painted lettering. The glass was replaced with a custom red tint to complete the vintage Gasser look. All of the trim is straight and the chrome shines like new. It is running a set of periord Cheater slicks on the back with some classic radials on mags in the front.
Mechanics: As you can hear in the video, this 331 Hemi is mean! It was completely refurbished in 2012 and it has maybe 1000 miles on it. It is running a modern Edelbrock carb, has a high performance cam and electronic ignition, so it is very user-friendly and dead reliable. It has a Chevy 5-speed manual transmission and a Chrysler 8 3/4 rear end with 373 gears. It is running a full exhaust off the fender wheel headers, but it has electric exhaust dumpers when you want to get on it.The frame was stripped and painted with Eastwood's POR-15 paint.During the restoration everything was replaced, gas tank, fuel lines, brake lines etc. It is running disc brakes in the front and drums in the rear.
Interior: The interior was completely redone top to bottom. The seat was redone, new carpet, custom door panels and a custom headliner were all installed. To complete the look a custom dash was made with a classic gauges and toggle switches. A metal flake steering wheel and a Hoop roll bar with helmet hook were added to complete the classic drag-feel.
