1968 rare with the original motor and transmission. this is 1 of 21 known to exist. there were only 3 hundred and some of these made. I have owned the car since 1978 and had every intention of restoring it. I sent it out for restoration and got hooked up with a bad restoration shop which took my money and did not do the work. now age, health, and finances will not allow me to finish or redo this car, I have offered it for sale because I would like to see someone do it who is able. I have set a small reserve that is a lot less than the cost of the parts.
Body- floor pans are original and solid they have been taken down to bare metal and rust proofed. Trunk floor needs replaced and I have a new one that goes with the car. Fenders are perfect rust free originals that I have been holding for 30 years Outer wheel houses have been replaced and inner wheel houses are good. Trunk floor extensions need replaced but they reproduce these now. I have a new set of quarter panels that go with car the old ones have already been cut out. Rocker panels need replaced but I have a rust free set of full rockers that go with car. Trunk lid is rust free as well as the hood and grill. The inner fenders were replaced with rust free ones in the 1980s but in doing so the fender tag was lost. I will try to explain all options the car had below. Drivetrain- complete original engine and transmission goes with car dated 6-67 this is one of the early ones and original to this car. The car has an 8/34 rear end with a 323 sure grip installed all brakes and wheel bearing are new. Suspension- the front suspension has been re built with new ball joints and inner and outer tie rod ends detailed and ready to be put back in car. This was an original front disc brake car and all of that goes with the car. Interior- front and rear seats have been recovered in the original white premium seat covers from legendary. The dash pads are near perfect and were taken from a 19 thousand mile original car many years ago. The door panels were lost when I recovered the car from the restoration shop as well as the carpet and headliner which it will need.. Options- the car was originally a light green metallic with a dark green vinyl top with white side stripes. The car had 150mph speedometer and simulated wood steering wheel which was standard on the Formula S. Cars. The car had an am radio with the optional light package which gave you a trunk light and glove box light. The car came with the front disc brake package which comes with car. Chrome is al there as well as the windows there may be a piece or so missing as I have not sorted it all out. There are boxes of parts that go with the car too many to take photos of all of them and they go with the car some are brand new in box. Most everything to put the car back together is there and original. Parts alone are worth thousands more than reserve. I would like to see the car fixed it is super rare but this is not a easy job and will require someone with skills I do not possess . CLEAR TITLE IN MY NAME |

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.
'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
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.
