1973 Plymouth Barracuda Cuda Mopar on 2040-cars
|
This my 1973 cuda I have owned for 3 years and I am letting it go now. I purchased the car from a man who was very ill after catching Sars while on a business trip to China. He was not real clear with all the facts on the car so I list all he told me. He said the 340 engine in the car to his recollection it was not the original motor but he had the engine in the car built. The engine was built by a local Mechanic but he did not give me any of the motor specs on what went into the build. The motor is real tight and has a real nice cam and sounds amazing. He said the engine was built 2 years earlier. He didn’t drive the car much so the miles on the motor are low. The miles on the odometer are 96255, I would say probably are the actual miles on the car but they exempt the miles on old cars in South Carolina. So the title shows exempt for miles. The exhaust system looks to be flow masters or something similar. They sound really good. It has a 727 torque flight transmission and a 8 3/4 rear end. When I purchased the car it was Panther Pink and the paint was getting weak so I took it to a shop and had the car completely stripped dow to the metal and repainted. The new paint job is sublime green with painted stripes and a cuda decal which has been covered with clear coat. The paint is amazing and rather costly running the total for the paint job at 7500 dollars but worth every penny. The paint has no scratches or chips in it at all. The paint code on the car says that the original color was black but I have never been a big fan of keeping a black paint job looking clean especially at out door car shows. The body on the was totally rust free and has always been in south carolina.It is laser straight with no wabbles or waves at all. The interior is real nice with nice headliner seats are real nice but there is a small tear at a seam on the drivers seat. The carpet looks original but not tore up. All the gauges work including the gas gauge, tach, and even the clock. The speedometer works but is off about 5 to 10 mph due to the 18 inch wheels. The car does have factory air but is not getting cold at this time but I am going to take it to my mechanic and have it looked at. The shifter is a factory slap stick and works as it should. I don’t have a spare tire for the car but you can get one at a scrap yard pretty cheap and the jack is gone too. This is a list below of what I put on the car and what I was told
I lowered the car 2 inches to give it the right stance. The car runs and drives real nice but is a little rougher riding than usual with the low profile tires but still fun. If you have always wanted or wanting another cuda you will like this one. People always say while in their classic cars they gets lots of attention … well wait untill you drive this. I have seen people almost crash their cars looking at the Cuda and when pulling into car shows everyone flocks around the car. I am sure there is a lot of things in the description i am leaving out but it is all i can think of at this time. The car is really nice but not Barrett Jackson quality but not $75,000 either. I have described the car to the best of my ability. The car is 41 years old and is being sold in as is condition with no warranty or implied. All shipping arrangements will be made and paid for by the buyer. .On Feb-02-14 at 18:44:52 PST, seller added the following information: The pictures of the car were just taken today. The video was from two years ago. The car has not changed at all, I have not driven the car much since completed.

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.
'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.
