I purchased the car 5 years ago and have just finished a 14 month restoration of the car. The restoration started out as just a fresh coat of paint and a good tidy up but after stripping the paint I came across alot more work than I bargained for. The car needed both rear quaters reworked and shaped aswell as countless new metal welded into place. I also had to replace the lefthand side gutter area on the roof and also 1 front fender. The car is finished in 2pac dragonfly green and the interior was redone in green and white. I also managed to source a set of fenderskirts and spinner hubcaps from various kind fellow forward look enthusiasts. Engine is the standard 318 backed up bye the push button torqueflite. Brakes are also the power equipped. This car carries a right hand drive Plymouth dashboard with a Dodge steering wheel.

In Australia there were roughly 1000 Phoenix models sold for 1960. The parts for these cars were sent to Australia and were assembled by Chrysler Australia in their South Australia Plant. The only real options were power steering and optional heater. They were only available in the four door sedan. Also you might know that all the rear indicator lenses are orange. All Aussie cars carried the front and rear bumperets. Also all the rear numberplate housings in the boot were widened for the larger numberplates in Australia which were not very good jobs at all.
