1972 Plymouth Barracuda (cuda) 340 4 Speed on 2040-cars
Rochester, Michigan, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1972 Plymouth Cuda. Note that this car is a fresh restoration. This car is black with a black interior with reproduction Chrysler rallye wheels. This is a show quality car and as you can see the black paint is very smooth for a muscle car. This paint does have minor scratches from being driven and has a minor dent in the right side of the rear valance. This Cuda did have a rotisserie restoration done over the winter by the previous owner. The metal all the way around was either reused if good or replaced. You will find no rust on this vehicle. The trunk and underside are painted in the same black color as the body. The interior of this car is black with no rips or tears. The radio is a factory AM setup and is not plugged in that I can see. It does have a 340, 4 speed drivetrain that is not numbers matching, but 72 correct I am told. The engine sounds like a mild build and does run good. The 4 speed does have the pistol grip shifter. Also, the clutch setup is very heavy duty and not for just anybody or heavy traffic. It does have a 8 3/4" rear axle, not sure of the ratio. The brake lines are new on this car and it does stop very good for a drum setup. The lights work well on it. The gas gauge does not work, which I figured out is the instrument panel voltage regulator. A spare working gauge will be included. This car also lacks a glovebox, which is no big deal to find. Overall you will not be disappointed. This car is fun and very beautiful. The metal work on this rotisserie restoration was done very well and it will definitely win awards at shows. This is an awesome car, I am selling because I am not used to a manual transmission and local traffic will not allow for it to be driven. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Note that this car is sold as is. The reserve price is fair for the vehicle. You will not find one this nice for the money.

'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.
'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.
