It certainly is David .. I owned two of them in the early 80's .. A Desoto and a Plymouth.. they are all Plymouths actually ... it's not a genuine Desoto but a Plymouth jazzed up a bit . One of mine came from Marong..just near Bendigo ..I paid $80 for it !!! That guy is dreaming ..4 k. The only one in Aust. he says .. rubbish. Typical Ebay bull...t.

Richards only built the cab and rear deck.. the front end metal and guards and bonnet were imported . Not sure bout the doors ..probably made here.

I wrote an article on them , for the Plymouth club mag. in the U.S.
