1970 Plymouth Duster, Base Model on 2040-cars
Waller, Texas, United States

Hi and thanks for looking.
In 1970, Plymouth unveiled the new Duster model, which was based on the 1969 Plymouth Duster I concept car. The Duster was all Valiant from the cowl forward, but the rest of the car was completely different. It used a semi-fastback roof and a special rear valance with twin horizontal taillights. For 1970 only, a small Valiant badge went on the front fenders just above the Duster badge. The 1970 Duster was available in two models — the standard Duster and the performance-image Duster 340. Engine options were 198 cu in (3.2 L) and 225 cu in (3.7 L) versions of Chrysler's Slant Six and 318 cu in (5.2 L) and 340 cu in (5.6 L) LA-series V8.* This particular vehicle has a newly built 225 Slant Six, with 145 hp and 215 lb-ft of torque. Also installed was the super six intake and new two barrel carburetor. The distributor, coil, radiator, master cylinder, and water pump have been replaced, as was all fluids. The tires are showing their age, and the left handed lug threads on the driver’s side have been changed over to right handed lug threads. There is new carpet, still in the box. Also, there weren’t any seats, so I acquired some seats from a ’75 Duster. There were also major dents in the driver’s side front fender (which is included in the sale), so I replaced the fender with one from a ’74 Duster. The steering column was also rebuilt. The Duster also had manual brakes that I converted to power brakes. The car is currently not running and should be trailered to its new location. I also have an additional passenger side quarter glass with frame that goes, and a proportioning valve for a disc/drum setup. Now, for the bad stuff. There is rust on the lower rear quarter panels, but no rust on the frame rails. Also, the front suspension needs to be rebuilt (parts included) and shocks need to be replaced. This is a great project car, and with very little effort would be an excellent daily driver. This would also make an awesome show car/strip vehicle since it is such a solid foundation. May trade for a pre-’72 4-door car or wagon. Sorry, no Fords. *Taken from WIKIPEDIA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Duster |

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.
'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.
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.
