1970 Plymouth Pro Stock Hemi Cuda Vintage Drag Racer on 2040-cars

1970 Plymouth Cuda Pro Stocker This is a very cool piece of history! We have had this car for many years and has been a cool car for discussion and a fun car to look at and run. This is a real non restored Pro Stocker from the 70's. Curtis Spann and this 70 Cuda were featered in Hot Rod magazine. This car was run along side Sox and Martin, Dick Landy and other the greats of that time. This car was originally built and driven but Curtis Spann of Sesser, Illinois. The engine is a 426 HEMI that was stroked to 472 cubic inches. The motor was put together with a Chrome crankshaft by Joe Ralph Thompson out of Arkansas. Joe Thompson's 1965 Plymouth A/FX is sitting in The Don Garlits Museum now. The HEMI has 2 1050 Dominator carbs. The notes I have say the car was worked on by a very notable Chrysler factory mechanic, John Bowman. The Trans is a 4 spd Crash Box with a Dana rear wih 5:12 ratio. A lot of parts on the car i know for a fact resemble and show signs from Sox and Martin parts. Whether these parts were purchased from Sox and Martin or copied is really unknown. The car was run at a few major tracks being East St. Louis, Bowling Green, KY, Owensburg, KY, and Indianapolis, IN. The cars best time was a 9.68 @ 144 mph. The car has been great to us. The Car still runs great and we take it down the street from time to time. I tried to photograph everything on this car, and give as much info as possible. There is a ton of history here, which makes for a really interesting car. It will fit nicely in a collection somewhere. Please ask any questions you may have. I will do my best to answer everything I can. I also encourage and welcome anyone to come see the car before auction end. Please do not bid unless you have your funds ready and you are prepared to win this auction! Thank you and Good Luck! |

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.
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.
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.
