The last Plymouth ever made is being auctioned off, and the last time we looked, the high bid was just $14,001. The car has the standard 2.0 liter engine and five-speed (manual) transmission, with 15-inch alloys, a sun roof, gray leather seats, and bright silver metallic paint; but it’s hardly ever been driven, with just 68 miles on the clock. It’s a second-gen Neon, so it’s a bit more comfortable, a bit larger, and a bit quieter than the original; but the engine had more weight to pull around.
The original owner of the car was Florida resident Darrell Davis, who had been a Chrysler executive and was then a Plymouth Owners Club member. He reportedly ordered it directly from Chrysler’s leader, James Holden.
The lucky buyer will not only get an enjoyable car, if they choose to drive it instead of shutting it into a sealed box again, but manuals, brochures, and the assembly line “last Plymouth” banner. It’s at BringaTrailer.
David Zatz started what was to become the world’s biggest, most comprehensive Mopar site in 1994 as he pursued a career in organizational research and change. After a chemo-induced break, during which he wrote car books covering Vipers, minivans, and Jeeps, he returned with Patrick Rall to create StellPower.com for daily news, and to set up MoTales for mo’ tales.
David Zatz has around 30 years of experience in covering Chrysler/Mopar news and history, and most recently wrote Century of Chrysler, a 100-year retrospective on the Chrysler marque.
