What would you do with a Belvedereamino?

Steve Donohue's 1963 Plymouth Belvedere sedan pickup

In response to a recent Four-Links link to a story on launching a Plymouth from the deck of the USS Enterprise, reader Steve Donohoe of Port Clinton, Ohio, told us the Plymouth was definitely a 1963 Plymouth Savoy. How did he know for sure? He himself owns a 1963 Plymouth, though not one you see everyday.

Steve said he first doodled the design of a Plymouth sedan pickup in high school notebooks in 1968, then bought a 1963 Plymouth Belvedere four-door sedan in 1971 and went through with the chop in 1980. He fashioned the tonneau cover out of two Belvedere trunk lids, and  swapped out the original poly-head 318 and manual transmission for an LA-series 318 with a push-button TorqueFlyte. He then managed to get Michigan to re-title the cruck as a “1963 Plymouth Pickup.”

Time’s taken its toll on the Plymouth, and Steve said he recently lost his storage for it, so now comes the decision time – to restore and keep, or to attempt to sell? What would you do?
