Original 71 Cuda Convertible 340 4spd GY3 Curious Yellow , Numbers Matching car

This is an original GY3 Curious Yellow 340 4spd Cuda convertible. Numbers matching car.

VIN BS27H1B199808

This could be your only opportunity to own a 71 4spd Cuda convertible in this rare color. I’m selling to make room for a 71 Hemi Cuda.

The 71 Cuda Convertible had three engine options. The 383 came as standard equipment. The buyer could upgrade to one of three high performance engines :

340, 440-6 and Hemi.

This car has a complete documented owner history from the original owner in 1970 until 2014. The fender tag is original and has been locked in a safety deposit box while a copy was made for display purposes. Both go with the car. A buildsheet was found during the resto. It is correct for a B5 blue, black billboards, 4spd 71 Cuda hardtop VIN BS23N1B199?21. The sheet goes with the car in hopes of swapping correct sheets.

The car was restored back in the late 90s. GY3 is called Curious Yellow because sometimes it looks greenish and sometimes it looks yellow. These pics make the color look more like Lemon twist but don't worry, the color is correct and looks better in person than with my poor photography skills.The car has been driven some since the resto so it does show some wear. The interior has been upgraded from vinyl to leather the interior panels are original and very nice. The glass is all nice, the top is nice. The top motor was replaced with an NOS unit during the resto.

The body is very straight. The paint on the body is very nice and even looks good when you are a few inches away. There are a few very small imperfections.

The original block comes with the car. It has minor fixable damage to a lifter galley. The car is now running with a date coded 340 block. The exhaust manifolds are the very desirable OEM High performance units. The exhaust is stock. Stock carb, etc. The car runs great. The battery in the pics is for show only. A good quality regular battery goes with the car.

The trunk includes the jack and space saver tire with air canister.

The Shaker hood is an original including the bubble and so are the 15x7 rally wheels, the bill boards and wing have also been added to round off the great list of options that this car came with from the factory:

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

The 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.

'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.

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The 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.
