This is one sweet Savoy, for those of us who saw it close up and personal.
What’s he asking for it? I couldn’t give my Belvedere away when i had it for sale…
Bob
Dunno… He’s asking me what it’s worth. What should I tell him?
Matthew will know ![]()
I was at a swap meet the other day and there was an air cleaner there that he said was for a 1959 Plymouth. I said I had never seen an air cleaner like it on a '59 Plymouth. It had the oblong shaped snorkel that is shown on this 6 cylinder. Since most of what we see are 8 cylinder restored cars I was unfamilar with it. I have one question resulting from the relatively large size of the carburetor opening. Was this 6 cylinder equipped with a single barrel or two barrel carburetor? Probably a dumb question but I know someone will politely excuse my ignorance and answer. Thanks. Ken
Mines a 6 cylinder, but i can’t help you with that question as mine doesn’t have that style air cleaner, mine was built in Canada so that particular air cleaner may have only been used on U.S. made models, but i can tell you that the carbs were indeed a one barrel and not two!
Bob
It’s a nice clean looking all original car,which only seems to appeal to a small segment of car guys nowadays, i think 12 grand would be a reasonable asking price.
Bob
I believe I’ve seen these air cleaners on 8 cyl one-barrel carb station wagons.
8 cylinder 1 barrel? They actually made something like that?
Bob
Thanks for the correction, Bob! ![]()
The one-barrels were for the straight Sixes.
The V-8s had, at a minimum, two-barrel carburetion.
This one isn’t worth a lot with those 57 hubcaps ![]()
Those are easily changed, what do you think a good asking price would be Matthew?
Bob
For this one?
It’s a nice car but it’s still a savoy and a 6 cilinder. I’d say $7000 to $8000.
For a little bit more you can get a V8 1959 Plymouth.
I guess you’re right, here’s what the NADA guide says about this, i used my friend in Indianas ZIP code to do the calculation.
