1970 Plymouth Cuda V8 4-speed, Rust Free Project Car, All New Metal! on 2040-cars
|
Up for auction I have a rust free 1970 Plymouth Cuda
(Barracuda). Has a clean title.
It started out life as a highly optioned 318 V8, Automatic, Bright Blue Metallic exterior, light package, bucket seats with center console and floor shifter, rear speaker control, power disc brakes, and an 8 3/4 rear end. This car comes with a 4-speed transmission (no bell housing so you can buy one for either a big block or small block), Hurst Pistol Grip Shifter (no handle), and clutch/brake pedal assembly). Also comes with an 8 3/4 suregrip with 4.10 gears, factory power disc front brakes, factory rear sway bar, and a brand new gas tank and sending unit for it along with brand new 3/8 fuel lines. It also comes with all brand new Right Stuff Brake lines. Every brake line from the rear wheel cylinders to the brake master cylinder are in this kit. I bought a set of weld in sub frame connectors as well but those haven’t been welded in yet that I’m including. I have a set of Hooker Super Comp Big block headers that I was planning to use with it so I will include those as well. Has brand new Stainless Steel exhaust tips. New 383 pie tin with a dual snorkel air cleaner. New Mopar Radiator Fan Shroud and I’ve got a HD 7 blade clutch fan. It also comes with almost the entire interior (seats, dash, heater box, heater controls, console, glass, woodgrain steering wheel, seat belts, rear door panels, front armrest pads, and steering column). The seats look original and are in pretty good shape. The dash is cracked so you will want a new dash pad but you can use this one as a core. The front door panels were very chalky so I tossed them but the back ones are in great shape. I planned to get new front ones along with new carpet and a headliner when the car was further along in the restoration process. Comes with all glass except windshield (it had a crack so I got rid of it), NOS Mopar exterior door handles (never even installed still in the mopar box), chrome bumpers (need re-chroming but otherwise usable and straight), taillight and marker lights, and a complete wiring harness (labeled most things on the harness so it’ll be easier to figure out where it all goes during re-assembly). I bought an original NOS 1970 AAR Cuda rear spoiler so I will include that with the sale as well. Now onto a little more about the restoration process so far. I stripped the entire car down to its bare shell and put it on a roll around cart suspended a foot or two in the air. Once it was fully stripped I had all the rust cut away. Then it was media blasted to remove any paint etc. All new metal was welded in. The shop that did the metal repair did an excellent job. Many of the small repair pieces and panels that were put in were all hand-formed. They did an amazing job welding all the new metal in with no overlapping welds. Everything was butt welded so minimal filler would be needed to have a perfect finish. You will not find a more rust free project Cuda out there. The doors, trunk lid, and Cuda hood (twin bubble scoop Cuda
hood), are all blocked and sanded and essentially ready for paint. The rest of
the car just needs the final prep work of smoothing and sanding/blocking etc to
get it ready to paint. This is a great starting point with all the “hard” work
of rust repair finished. Buying an already finished car you will never know if
its hiding rust somewhere but with this Cuda you know it is rust free. Pick
your color, pick your engine, and get this Cuda on the road! It would make a
great big block 4 speed car! I tried to take as many pictures as I could but unfortunately ebay limits it to 24 so I had to cut some. If you'd like any additional photos just ask. Thanks for looking!

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.
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.
