Real Virginia State Police Car With #s Matching 440 Drivetrain on 2040-cars
Hayes, Virginia, United States
|
I began a restoration this legendary Plymouth police car and lost interest in it. It is a real deal marked VA State Police car with all the documentation to prove it.
It always draws a crowd at car shows. The paint is correct VA State Police colors with the blue/grey paint break. All of the paint and body work is done and it has all of the correct, date coded VSP police equipment including a working radar unit, Motorola radio, and siren. It was in service from 1972-78 and then went on to New England where it was used by a small sheriff's department until 1985. I have all of its history documented including original VA State Police fleet paperwork. This car is a rare find. The interior of the car is the roughest part and still needs some restoration work, mainly the dash and gauges. The door panels are in OK condition, the seats covers have some minor tears and the headliner needs to be installed. I have a new one from Legendary that comes with the car. The original 440 has been recently rebuilt and it runs great. The transmission is the original HD 727 automatic but it will need to be rebuilt, it will not engage drive. It has an 8 3/4" rear with 3.23 gears. It also has power steering and brakes. Surprisingly, it came from the factory with air conditioning. The only rust on the car is on the rear bumper from where the chrome began to peel off. The rest of the chrome and trim are in good shape. I have owned this car since 1999 and representing it the best I can. The car is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction anytime. This is an auction and I will not reveal the reserve. |

'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.
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.

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.
