1980 Plymouth Gran Fury, Factory Police Package, one year only H.P. 360 Magnum E-58, A-38 Oregon State Police Vehicle.
Just in Time for Christmas, Here is a car that rarely comes up for auction. It is one of 3- R bodies that I found on a ranch owned by a gentleman that bought ex- police cars to supply taxi cab companies. Some where during his normal business he stocked up about 40 or so police cars and left them un- touched for years. They have never been titled or driven by a civilian. This car is as sold at auction in 1986. Very seldom do these cars become available in this state of originality. Complete original survivor car. The cars that I purchased were lucky enough to be in covered storage. The paint and interior is original and in great shape. This is a car that can be left as a survivor and is a great driver as it sits. The paint is all original, you can take it to the show car level and have a great low mile one year only rare Mopar last of an era Pursuit car. Here are some of the pros of this car, It does have a factory build sheet under the springs of the front seat, It also has the optional Oil cooler besides the power steering and trans cooler. The State Police re-located the Lean-Burn computer to the other side of the firewall and it does function as it should. It has the certified speedo,ticket light,rubber floor mat, big alternator, full dual exhaust, big front and rear sway bars and super rare bucket seats. The a/c blows cold, it never had a spot light. It did have a light bar when in service and a low band whip antenna that has had the hole filled in and painted. All the police wheels and caps. The original pushbumper is a nice feature and all the bumper surround rubber is intact. This is a known trouble spot for the R-bodies. This car handles and drives great, the exhaust is factory complete including the catalytic converters with grass shields. That being said it does need some attention to some of the following areas. The driver seat has a ripped seam from the butt of the troopers firearm. The passenger seat has a few small seperations as well. The headliner is sagging in a few places and could use a new one. The front bumper is starting to peel a bit. The factory chrome over aluminum never lasted long. The windsheild has a couple small round imperfections, not cracked, more like rock chips. The driver door strap is not factory and looks to have been pulled off and replaced at some point. Not sure when the radio was put in but it does work, All the lights, trunk release, gauges work as they should. It shifts through the gears as it should, it does pull a little bit to the left. Most likely a needed alignment or sticky caliper. Lastly the paint is in driver condition, a detail would do or a respray would look great. This car just needs to be driven and enjoyed and the new owner can decide what level if any at all of resto is needed. I will add fendertag pics before the auction end. As always the 30 plus year old cop car is being sold as is so ask what you need to bid to win. This is a now reserve auction.!!! Happy Hoildays. |

'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]
Mon, 16 Jun 2014
We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.
US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.
Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars
Sat, 18 Jan 2014The Plymouth Superbird is one of those classic American cars from the muscle car era that has captured the imagination of all sorts of automotive enthusiasts long after its presence on roads and race tracks wore away. It's easy to see why. Where else but in the Swingin' Sixties and Seventies would a car leave the factory with an aerodynamics package that included a pointy beak and a rear spoiler that sat several feet above the rear deck?
The example you see above, which was born in 1970, is one of the finest Superbirds we've ever seen. Combine its complete restoration with its original 426 Hemi engine, and it's no surprise that it managed to bring in a cool half million dollars (plus 10 percent in fees) at Barrett-Jackson. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above, and scroll down below for the official auction description.
