1969 Plymouth Barracuda Sport Coupe on 2040-cars
Georgetown, Kentucky, United States
Selling my 1969 Barracuda Sports Coupe. Car has a 318 V-8 with headers, cam and just installed Summit brand 600CFM carb. The Torqueflite automatic has a shift kit. This is a solid western car. I have found no trace of rust. It has recent paint and interior. Factory buckets and console with floor shift. There is a chip in front of the hood. Doors and windows open and close ok and doors can be locked. Just installed Flaming River brushed stainless steel tilt steering column with Flaming River "Tuff" steering wheel. Horn, wipers, turn signals, running lights and brake lights all work. Car has drum brakes and parking brake works. Just had tune up with new plug wires, plugs and distributor cap. Was previously converted to electronic ignition. I put in new header gaskets, but the driver's side still has a leak. I have some new soft aluminum gaskets and new header bolts that go with the car. I have installed a new reproduction hood release cable from Year-one. The wheels are Boss. 18x8 in front and 18x9.5 in rear. If you wish to keep these wheels you will need new tires in the rear as they are worn to the wear bars. Due to the size of the wheels, the front tires will rub when making a sharp turn. I have a new valance for under the front bumper, as the existing has a dent. The new one will need to be painted and installed. The original gauges are an issue. The speedometer is wildly erratic at low speed. The voltmeter and oil pressure are working, but the remaining gauges do not appear to be doing so. An auxiliary temp gauge is mounted under the dash and works. An aftermarket Sony stereo with CD player is installed in the dash, but is not working. The rear main seal and steering gear box have leaks. The windshield has a wiper scratch in front of the driver, a rock chip on the passenger side and is starting to delaminate at the top of the windshield. Please note that the decorative trim panel between the taillights is not perfect. The wood grain trim on the console is in poor shape, but I have a new kit that goes with the car. I also have a new California car cover, still in the box and a shop manual. I don't want to over emphasize the negative, but if you are looking for a 100 point show car, this isn't it. Don't want you to be surprised if you buy car without an inspection. Selling as this car barely fits into my garage and I'm basically a Chevy guy at heart when it comes to collectible cars. The car is registered here in Kentucky in my name and the new title is on order. Car is sold without any warranty expressed or implied. Inspections are welcomed and recommended. Delivery is the responsibility of the buyer. I have added 9 more photos, I wanted to add more, but for some reason I cannot, so if there is something you wish to see contact me via eBay e-mail. |

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.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before 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 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.
