1970 Plymouth on 2040-cars
Boerne, Texas, United States
|
Up for your consideration today is this 1970 Barracuda.It is a factory vitamin c with white interior car.This car still has its original drivetrain in it.Yes it is a 225 slant six with automatic trans.From what I can find this is one of less than 200 built cudas with that engine/trans combo.I have had this car for about 1 1/2 years and don't see myself getting it done anytime soon.So with a bit of hesitation I have decided to sell it.Ok now for the car.The paint on it is 44 years old.Yes that's right it has the original paint from the factory.Some shade tree body man put some thin filler over the paint on the driver door and front of qtr panel but that is it.NO patches,bondo filler,crashed,replaced or hidden damage to panels.Does the car need some body work? Yes it will need the rear window area fixed as there are a few holes around the pinch weld area.As for the front it will need the same as well as the upper cowl area by the wiper motor.It will also need a trunk pan and RH extension.Now for the good.... There is NO rust through on the fenders,doors,aprons,core support,qtr panels,deck lid,or rockers.The floor pans are excellent with only about 8-10 small pin holes in the drivers front floor.Rear pans are perfect.The subframe and rear rails are perfect as well.The car has a 8 1/4 rearend behind the 6 cyl.The grill is near perfect.I do not see ANY cracks or missing pieces.It will need repainted and one or two small stone dings fixed on the stainless trim.The stainless trim for the front windshield has been polished to show condition and a brand new windshield will go with the car.Also there is a NOS windshield reservoir tank as well.Seat belts are there as well as most all the interior and trim.The seats will need recovered as well as carpet,headliner and obviously a new dashpad installed.There is NO jack or spare tire/rim and NO drivers door glass.The fender data tag is also mia and the broadcast sheet was rotted away.Odometer shows 33000 which is over I'm sure.It has the standard cluster in it.Shifter is on the column.No AC or power options.This car came from northern California.The title I have was issued in 1980.It shows the original owner bought it in Feb of 1971.It was sold in 1991 and that buyer never transferred it.I do not know how many hands it has been through but I know that the second to last owner supossedly got it from the 2nd owner.So I will say 4 or so owners.I have taken many pictures of the car.You decide what the car is worth.As with all my auctions it will be NO RESERVE! In the past I have gotten non paying bidders from far away or ones with no feedback.If that happens with this auction I WILL be sending a second chance offer.My terms are 500.00 deposit within 48 hrs and the rest within 10 days.I expect pickup in a timely maner.But I will store inside my shed for a few days if needed.Contact me first before bidding concerning this.The car is sold AS IS.I will help in shipping a little but you are responsible for trasnsport.I encourage all interested parties to come look at the car.I reserve the right to cancel the auction at any time for whatever reason that need be.Thanks for looking and good luck.

'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.
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.
'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.
