1968 Plymouth Cuda on 2040-cars

Year:1968 Mileage:0

Location:

Indianapolis, Indiana, United States

Hello ebayers what we have here is a real 1968 formula S 340 Barracuda fast back.

I have a clear open title, with data tag, and the VIN tag is still mounted on the dash; no data sheet was found.

First off this was in storage for over 10 years, the previous owner had put a new paint job on this car installed new front and rear bumpers and door handles, installed large bolt pattern A-body rear end and large bolt pattern front end with front disc brakes and spool type motor mount K-frame.

There are no rust holes on this car. Bottom has surface rust only, even the spare tire holder is in great shape, the body shop that had painted the car did hang quarters on both sides and trunk extensions and did a great job. I did take a picture of the passenger door to show a small scratch.

The car did come heavily optioned, but some changes were made when the larger bolt pattern was installed. The rear end is now an open rear end I don’t know what size, I think it had come with power steering but now is manual. (Which I like) I was going to leave it a manual steering, manual, brakes, manual transmission.

The engine is not original but it is a 1971 340 motor. I bought this motor off a friend that raced small blocks mopars, (now retired) when I bought this motor it was still mounted on his run stand! He started it up for me and wow did it run strong and very responsive. (With 100lbs of oil pressure) So here are the specs as I know them, the crank was internally balanced with Mallory; pistons are 11.5 to 1 forged and .30 over. The heads are X heads with new stainless exhaust valves with harden seats, and new guides and umbrellas seals. The intake valves have positive seals and are factory and in great shape. The springs are new heavy duty and stronger than stock. The cam I don’t have a lot of info on other than the lift is a 492 on the ex & in with 260 being the duration. The lifters are hydraulic Rhoads lifters; the company that makes these lifters have a well-engineered design that allows a high lift cam to run with a higher vacuum, the rockers are mopar adjustable which are recommended for these lifters. As you can see in the pics the intake is mopar six-pack, and mopar valve covers. After I bought this engine I took it to a friend’s shop and checked it out installed new gasket set and painted the engine red and installed the new valve covers and intake. (Note it looked like new on the inside)

Now the transmission, I don’t have an automatic for this car I had plans to flip it to a 4spd I bought a restored 4spd peddles set and aluminum bell housing with McLeod clutch and pressure plate, with factory fly wheel and an early 4spd trans out of a 73 duster I was told. It is currently at my friend’s shop getting a new seal kit installed and repainted, I plan to add pics to this auction of the 4spd transmission.

There may be some stuff missing but I bought it just as you see it.

Feel free to call me with any questions, 317-354-6785 I will consider a partial trade for a Passion performance new 5spd for my hemi dart project. The price of the Barracuda is based on the cost of the paint job and the 340 motor and 4spd set up. Vehicle is for sale locally, I reserve the rite to end auction early.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The 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.

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The 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.
