[moparnut]

1970 Plymouth Belvedere - $24,900 - Grand Rapids, MI - GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1970 Plymouth Belvedere Hardtop Coupe for purchase. The 7th generation of the Belvedere moniker was a mid-size offering from Plymouth in the height of the muscle car era producing models from 1968 through 1970. This generation featured a restyled roofline that resembled the new Charger models. Richard Petty won the Grand National Championship in NASCAR in a Belvedere and the looks of these cars last today as great Mopar muscle classics!
This '70 Belvedere was last purchased in 2006 in Kentucky. It has plenty of curb appeal with largely original looks painted in the B7 Blue Mopar classic color. It is powered by a 340ci V8 engine that was professionally build at dyno'd with a peak horsepower of 442hp in 2009. It features a 10:1 compression ratio, Edelbrock carburetor, Performance RPM intake, Comp cam shaft, Performance RPM headers, power steering, power front disc brakes, B & M shifter, Grant GT steering wheel, electronic ignition, dual exhaust, Weld Racing wheels, and much more! This is a very powerful Mopar classic that is a great car to turn the key and get your blood flowing. It's Mopar muscle done right! Please call or email for more details.

It dynoed at 442HP? That's impressive. It'd probably make 460 or better with a Holley in place of the EdelCrock. I gotta say, it's nice to see someone's got a dyno sheet.

Still, it's a Belvedere and not a high-performance model, and no one will forget it with those taillights. Throw in the low-effort touches like the cheese-dick shifter, original shifter column still in the car, $29 tach, etc. and what we've got here is a car worth maybe ten grand. Yes, it looks like a Road Runner or GTX, but it's not actually a Road Runner or GTX. It's also worth mentioning that even though 340s have a mystique all their own, taxicab B-body guys decidedly like their distributors up front. I can't say I disagree.

A sipshod job done on way too many details. The custom interior is a nice touch, but why not install the door panels completely? :huh:

I realize that the front arm rests wear out faster than rear, but did you have to use rear ones in the front. :naughty:

And why re-use a dash pad that's broken right above the steering column? :doh:

Lower-end models with basic interiors actually got those short armrests up front. My friend's Hemi '68 has those, along with the "Lost in Space" silver vinyl and rubber floor covering. I'd be surprised if this car had carpets when new.
