Created as a vehicle sub-brand in 1929 under Chrysler as a response to Ford and Chevrolet, Plymouth provided a way to offer vehicles at lower prices and to a wider public. This turned out to be a huge success as Plymouth became one of the most popular car brands in the USA.
Operating until 2001 when it was shut down due to poor sales, the cars were rebranded to Dodge and Chrysler models. During its 70 years of existence, the Plymouth has had a few classic cars that are still cool, and are rather cheap, though some vehicles have gone through the roof with prices, such as the infamous Barracuda, the Plymouth Fury, which is quite worthy today, and others. Nevertheless, this list will focus on those that you can still buy rather cheaply.
10 1951 Plymouth Cambridge
Made for just two years, from 1951 to 1953, this car sold 483,000 units. Although the engine comes from the 1930s vehicles, the flathead inline six-cylinder engine with 97 hp, the modern look of the vehicle, attracted the public. It is not as cool as the Plymouth Superbird, but it was undoubtedly a very popular model.
Furthermore, it came with upgraded features, such as the electronic windshield wipers and downdraft carburetors, while it also sported two hydraulic cylinders for breaks per front wheel instead of just one. It has since become a classic, and because it still isn't a collectible model, the Plymouth Cambridge hasn't gone up in value and you can find the cheapest model for around $4,000.
9 1956 Plymouth Belvedere
The Plymouth Belvedere was made from 1954 until 1970 and this classic can still be found unreasonably cheap. Priced everywhere between $6,600 and $20,000, there are almost mint-condition models for around $11,000, just like the Plymouth Belvedere.
The 1956 Plymouth Belvedere is a rather cool classic Plymouth car, featuring the V8 engine, instead of an inline six-cylinder engine. While also boasting a sportier look, another innovation it introduced was the push-button automatic transmission—a first for American automobiles at the time.
8 1967 Plymouth Valiant
Plymouth doesn't have many cheap models, mostly because they are defunct and the vehicles produced under this brand have become collectible classics. Well, the Plymouth Valiant hasn't, yet. It can be found for as low as $5,500 to $11,700.
Produced from 1960 until 1976, the 1967 model was a complete redesign and sold either as a 2-door or 4-door sedan. Powered by the 2.8-liter slant-6 engine that produces 115hp, it was and still is quite an offer for classic car enthusiasts.
7 1967 Plymouth Barracuda
The Plymouth Barracuda is the one legendary car you want from the Plymouth brand in your garage. Introduced in 1964 and produced until 1974 it has since become one of the most popular and most expensive Plymouth cars. However, the Plymouth Barracuda from 1967 can still be found for a reasonable price, and it is a cool classic.
The '67 Barracuda was based on the Valiant body but was heavily redesigned, giving it a sporty look and it also came with a larger engine, including the 4.5-liter V8 engine that produces 180hp. The Plymouth Barracuda will set you back around $14,000.
6 Plymouth Volare
Produced from 1976 to 1980, the Plymouth Volare became a rather popular car within the entry and mid-level car category. While it was more luxurious than the Dodge Dart and the Plymouth Valiant, well-publicized quality problems caused poor sales. Because of the bad sales, the Volare was discontinued after four years in production. Nevertheless, it has become a classic because of its fuel efficiency and cheap price.
Plymouth continued with V8 engines and thus, the Plymouth Volare also had its own V8 engine versions, though those are rather pricier now, while the slant six-cylinder vehicles sell for around $5,000.
5 1955 Plymouth Plaza
The Plymouth Plaza is one of the most popular 1950s Plymouth vehicles and it came in almost every option you can think of, from a 2-door sedan to a 4-door station wagon, which made it suitable for everyone. The 1955 model still holds a fairly cheap price as you can find models for around $7,000.
The 4-door sedans mostly come with the 4.2-liter V8 engine that produces 177 hp, making it a rather powerful car for its period. Thanks to its low price, it has become a classic and is regarded as a rather cool car thanks to its amazing looks.
4 Plymouth Cranbrook
The Plymouth Cranbrook is a classic car produced from 1951 until 1953 before it was succeeded by the Plymouth Belvedere. Offered in versions from a coupe to a wagon, and with only one engine option—a 3.6-liter flathead inline six-cylinder that developed 97 hp—it was suitable for everyone. It is now a classic that is unreasonably cheap as it sells for as low as $4,000.
The Plymouth Cranbrook was the successor of the Plymouth Special Deluxe, and only a few changes were enlisted, such as the plastic brake handle instead of a chrome one, while remaining similar on the outside, reserving the conservative style of the predecessor.
3 1960 Plymouth Savoy
Found between the Plymouth Plaza and the Plymouth Belvedere, the Plymouth Savoy is a midsize 4-door sedan, restyled for the 1960 year. Featuring odd chrome bumpers in the front, it wasn't as popular as the Plymouth Fury and Valiant, but it still had its buyers and it still does as it has become a classic.
Offered with a 5.2-liter V8 engine that has huge power with 230 hp, and for its age is one of the most powerful vehicles, which has also positively affected its popularity. Nowadays, you can own the 1960 Plymouth Savoy for around $9,000.
2 Plymouth Concord
Sharing the base with other early 1950s models, including Cambridge and Cranbrook, the Plymouth Concord was yet another full-size car with more luxury than the competitor models. Offered as a 2-door business coupe and a fastback sedan, Concord is the most popular model of the early 1950s and the least expensive between the Plymouth Cranbrook and the Plymouth Cambridge.
It came with a six-cylinder engine that developed 97 hp, and although in production just for a year, it became a rather popular vehicle, and is still pretty cheap, as you can own one for around $4,500.
1 1971 Plymouth Duster
The Plymouth Duster is one of the most popular Plymouth sports cars and in addition to great speed, this one comes with a great price. You can buy one for around $11,000 and enjoy a stunning 2-door coupe powered by the 5.2-liter V8 engine and its 230 hp.
The Plymouth Duster became a high-selling vehicle with over 180,000 units in 1971 sold, which makes it one of the coolest classics today, and it is unreasonably cheap, as it presents one of the cult cars of the decade.
