1973 Plymouth 'cuda 340 Matching Numbers W/build Sheets on 2040-cars
Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, United States
|
By 1973, this was the hottest 'Cuda you could get, as all of the big blocks were gone. This is a very original, unmolested car that I'd call a survivor. It is a genuine "BS" vin code 'Cuda, not a Barracuda.
This car is matching numbers (engine and trans are stamped with the car's vin). Car has original fender tag and two build sheets (broadcast sheets) that document the car, and that it is in exactly the same configuration as it left the factory in 1973...same color ("Lemon Twist" yellow), correct wheels, automatic w/ slap stick shifter, console, etc. and still has the original engine and transmission. No A/C or power steering. There are a few non-stock bolt on items on the car and these are the rear spoiler, the carburetor and intake manifold, exhaust headers, and the ignition coil. Car is very nice but not perfect. Some areas need cosmetic attention and attest to the "survivor nature" of this car. The engine bay needs some cleanup and detailing. The trunk floor under the vinyl mat needs some attention as it has some rust there. Also, some areas of interior are beginning to show their age such as seat upholstery seams splitting and the dash appears to be capped. Carpets are newer. Car currently has no radio or speakers installed. The car runs and drives great and is currently tagged and insured. Clean PA title in hand. Mileage is unknown. Title says miles are exempt because of age, which is common on old cars in PA. Odometer works and says 25,xxx. I've always assumed that it's on its second way around. Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to cancel bids and end auction if car sells through other means. |

'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.
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.
