One Owner Near Survivor Fireflite Sportsman 341 HEMI V8 3 Speed Automatic

Wrapping a hot 341 cubic inch Hemi V8 and stalwart pushbutton Torqueflite in a tailored interior and sweeping sheetmetal, this DeSoto HAS to be some of the coolest metal on the planet! And if you're a discerning collector who's itching for a classic, big-fin MoPar that'll be the star of every cruise night in town, it's your first class ticket to greatness! Based on legendary designer Virgil Exner's 'Forward Look' body, DeSoto's well-known Fireflite series is some of the finest metal to ever leave an American design studio. The spectacular Fiesta Red and Frost White example you see here was assembled at Chrysler's Detroit, Michigan manufacturing facility and exceptionally maintained by one fastidious owner for close to 57 years. And, as far as we can tell, the car has never been fully disassembled, with the aforementioned owner instead opting to address issues of aging as they arose. All that classy metal moves thanks to a Hemispherical Fire Dome V8, which is branded with a correct S26-27094 assembly stamp. Clocking in at 341 cubic inches, the square-bore mill turns hearty 9.25 to 1 compression into 295 horsepower and 390 lb./ft. of stout torque. Behind that engine, an original A488 Torqueflite 3-speed sends power to a correct rear end. That tough driveline spins in a factory-spec undercarriage that's complete with Chrysler's robust torsion bars and stiff outrider springs. At the corners of that chassis, heavy duty drum brakes ensure solid, fade-free stops. And all this road-worthy hardware rides on painted and capped wheels, which spin pliable 8.50-14 BF Goodrich Silvertown whitewalls. With its burly V8, tailored interior and dramatic styling, this classy DeSoto represents the pinnacle of American design and manufacturing dominance.
