BODYWORK/TRIM

It seems only fitting that a super clean and equally fierce B-Body like this impressive Belvedere would begin its life in the golden California sun. Fast-forward to the late 20th century where the solid hardtop still owned by its original purchaser was thoroughly researched and carefully documented. And step in to the early 21st century when the car benefitted from a professional ground-up restoration that was completed in October of 2013.

When youre restoring a classic of this caliber its always good to start with an unmolested body that retains as much authentic feel as possible. Accordingly this GTXs thorough reboot began with solid all-original sheetmetal that was stripped tightened up and eventually reassembled by Classic Garage Automobile Restoration of Coeur dAlene Idaho. Once the stage was set for paint Chris Lidgerwood of Spokane Washingtons Extreme Customs sealed a sweet coat of correct Bright Blue Metallic base in tough and glossy clear. That pigment and metal work tabbing out at roughly $31K was complemented with restored stainless original emblems and an array of correct trim that includes a tint-free windshield a fresh vinyl roof a manual drivers mirror and chrome drip rails. And today this Plymouth rolls as one stunning arrow-straight showpiece that in 2015 was bestowed a Goodguys Mopar Muscle Pick and a Goodguys Award of Excellence.
