We Bought A 1961 Plymouth Savoy! 

It's an absolutely beautiful car, completely 100% worth fixing up.

Growing up we had a 61 Plymouth station wagon with 8 kids we needed the room for traveling! My loved that car.

In 1961 I was 10 years old. I was down at "the station" with Grandpa and saw a brand new purple 4-door version of this in the showroom. My Uncle Roy was half owner of this Mobil station, and also a Plymouth dealer. I remarked to Grandpa that he ought to buy this ca. A few days later, it was in Grandpa's driveway! I thought he must have liked my advice, but probably he had ordered it and just did not tell me that. I think this was the last new car he bought from his brother, as by the mid-60's the auto companies had weeded out the little dealers in favor on one dealer per county. That is what I heard, anyway. How does a memory 60-years old like that still remain? Good luck with your Savoy!

Sweet find! I have a 1961 Plymouth Pursuit 2d sedan, ex Texas DPS Highway Patrol unit, 361 4bbl, three on tree...

Savoy would be great as a "Little Old Lady from Pasadena" resto-mod, complete with a rebuilt 413. Great cars--good luck!

Always loved the Exner styled/influenced cars.

Virgil Exner must have had some pretty wild dreams.

Learned to drive in a '61 Plymouth Fury 4-door with the 318 Poly. Imagine the fun in having to parallel that between two other cars at a metered parking spot. Those are absolutely cool dashes and the speedo is quite unique. Loved the car and wanted to restore it. Sadly it was sold while I was in the marines.

really nice car well done on that find .....

I had 62 Valient. But seen millions of these growing. Up.

Those are cool, the early-mid 60's "B" body Dodge and Plymouth's. 👍

I have parts far for the ‘’61 Blackie. Looks like a rare 2 door I have sedans

Oh wow, that is really cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to see someone finally grabbed that car, I had it saved in marketplace for along time. Front end of these cars are beautiful, look kinda like a double eyed arachnid with pinchers.

Slant six never dies if it does get one out of a combine. Good buy .

Ultimate 2 door post car: needs a cross ram engine!

I love all six cylinders, not just slant sixes. Even flat heads! That valiant? looked like it had challenger seats in it maybe.

I'd love to have a cool old Savoy,2 door like that.

Nice car

I went to look at that car when it was for sale on marketplace in 2019. Glad some isn't going to part it out. I see someone changed the hood. It was kinked when I saw it

love the slant six engine

Cool car. I just saw its sister at the Turlock Swap Meet in January. 1961 2 door post Dodge Seneca for $2100.00. I wished I had the room because I wanted they car. The car was in great condition for the money.

Old Mopars never die! They are Reborn! 440 and and 727 torque flite. 3.55 gears out back. Your good to go! Shawn.

Yes, it is!

Makes a great Drag car !

I really love the 1961 plymouth savoy u got, would u sell it to me?, I'll buy it!

The floors holes in the floor can be patched I have the top of the line model '61 it has the original poly 318, PS PB added on AC which is not back in the car yet. It took almost 6 years to restore the car. It was a replacement of another '61 fury I lost in a shop fire back in 2014 . it did hurt to watch it burn

Cool cars!

I'll bet the cold water guys would be interested in both of those gems.

You should invest the money and make it a hyper Dart which is the 225 Slant six with the aluminum head which you can find a junk yards at a lot of people don't know anything about back what up the 727 torque flight and you got a muscle machine

The Valiant’s were sold at Chrysler dealership s. I have a Hyper pack off one of those slant 6. Is that the Super 225 ?

I have 1961 fury conv one year only body style parts are either cheap or pricey depend on whose selling them. The 413 cross ram is a tight fit the 383 inline dual fours is better or the 318 dual fours also

Looks like double trouble! They both have looks that only a mother could love... If you need a 440 and a 727 transmission for the Savoy... I am in N.W. Ga. at Mopar Restos in Summerville. I have more than a few... Good luck with your Mopar projects!

👍🏻💯🇦🇺seen slants run here in the 13 teens an have owned many MOPAR old school or no car. I’m talking 225 with not to many modes will sort out many v8 s.

Please don't change the front end on the Savoy these cars were so unique and awesome they deserve their own look

Please upgrade the Savoy front brakes to discs. Scarebird makes a kit, but you'll need 15" wheels. These cars are notoriously under-braked.

I got a 413 Cross ram for it ! 😳🤔💁‍♂️😎

Lee and Richard Petty had this body style for 1961 Daytona 500. Lee went over the guardrail with his and Richard wrecked his in the qualifying race. They both missed the 500.

The designers at Chrysler back then must gave been heavy drinkers. Lol

Michigan ? I’m Org from Detroit / Grosse Ponte

I wouldn't do anything to the body but repair ALL the rust, then make it so it NEVER rusts again, anywhere.

any thoughts of selling the Savoy???

I was raised on Chrysler products and all I can say about the Savoy #$%&×. I did like the Valiant/ Lancer. I really think the recreational drugs started around this time.

1961 Ford's and Chevy's were both better looking than than the Plymouth's. The Chevies are much more common as they sold many of them. Restored Savoy's are scarce if back to original. Most end up as resto mods or used for parts for Fury's.

My folks had a 61 Plymouth savoy wagon, same color. It was the first car I ever drove on the road legally. Not a fan. Now that Lancer, now yer talkin. Incredible car. cheap, one of the 4 I owned cost 15.00 and I drove it home. slant 6 3spd. on the floor. cruised at 85 on the freeway. loved it. be nice to see either of these run n drive.

They are unibody I had the back end of a 59 Plymouth gran fury brake off after I jacked it up for the owner been sitting for years

These base models were probably used as Police cars. Taxis. Etc. !@!!

Not that it matters but I think the valiant is a 60

I have a 61&62 Sedans parts car for that sedan

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎

Put a 500 horsepower 440 in it.

Is it ugly? To Ward Cleaver it wasn't. I could do without the mediocre styling so typical of Dawn Of the Sixties Mopar, though.

The first generation Valiant is no muscle car. Nor is the '61 Savoy even with a 361.

I had one 361 2 bbl three on a tree I ran good put on crager ss wheels looked ok for in the day
