True Survivor! 1974 Plymouth Barracuda. Started to restore, all original, 2 owner local car. Most all mechanical work has been done and I have receipts for all. Motor rebuilt, purple shaft cam, added 4 barrel and stock intake,Flowmasters, dual exhaust, new brakes, front end rebuild, shocks, original trans professionally rebuilt, have all parts that were removed from car and have been labeled and stored. Interior is all original, seats are ripped and faded, plastic panels need replaced too. Dash is cracked in several places, I removed headliner. Console is excellent, no holes in floor, new carpet was put in as I drive car occasionally until getting the body done. All original date coded glass in excellent condition. Jack instructions sticker is faded, but in place from factory. When engine was being rebuilt, I had the engine bay professionally repainted the stock "Y5 Yellow Blaze" color. Body has never been worked on. I have 2 new rear quarter patch panels purchased from Stephens Performance as well as a dual exhaust rear valance for the car. New trunk mat also. Minor rust in rockers, rust through on lower rear quarters. Grill is there but cracked in many places. Trunk has minor rust through. Trunk lid and roof paint actually shine pretty good. Cars runs excellent but is not driven enough. Sounds great too. I have original 2 barrel and intake as well as every part removed from car when I started restoration. I have run out of money and time to finish it and have other needs right now. Have build sheet,(was under seat), drove the car home when I bought it in a small town in Arkansas. I am a survivor nut, and I bought the car to restore to original but still drive while doing so. Decided to have motor rebuilt but changed things to be more like a stock 340- 4 barrel car. I have all info on what was done. Kind of hard to let it go. Was owned by State Trooper who I bought it from. Was a local car in his home town about 60 miles from mine. I have owned it for about 10 years now. Too much to explain, but would be happy to talk on phone with any serious inquiries. Call Joe 501-984-2696 Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end auction early. Will consider trade or trade + cash for a 69' Road Runner survivor/driver quality??? (That's what I really want to find someday...sold mine in HS and still not over it) LOL

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.
'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.
