We bought this car off of Ebay two years ago. The car had a stock rebuilt 360 and a 727. The previuos owner had the car painted Petty Blue. This car is an original 318 Hemi Orange Twister. 
This is a list of the new parts that were on the car :
Brand new bumpers
Brand new wing
New vinyl top
New Legendary seat covers and door panels
New Grant Steering wheel
New tack and gauges
New package tray
New headliner
New battery
Rebuilt 410 gears
New leaf springs
New U bolts
Rebuilt front suspension with sway bar 
New brakes all the way around (power disk)
Four brand new rally wheels,centers and polished trim rings
Front end alignment
New gas tank and sending unit
MSD set up with distributor

My wife said she only wanted three things for the car a cam, reverse manual body and floor mats. The transmission that came with the car gave us problems and that started the snowball. 
Went to Summit and bought a TCI Tranny... Hughes 3500 stall converter...
Called Mike at Muscle Motors and he told me he had a 1970 340 stroked to 416 cubic inch. The motor was on the dyno and broken in at 400 HP. I had to have it so I had him deliver it to the Mopar Nats. While I was at the Mopar Nats I picked up all brand new brackets, pulleys, alternator, thermostat housing everything to go on a crate engine. Then when we got home we ordered a Wizards Cooling Radiator with custom four fan shroud.  
I installed the 340 decals and my wife wanted the ladder bar treatment on the hood. The original hood scoops and bezels were showing some age so I bought new scoops and bezels. 
Since my wife wanted the manual valve body I fabricated a mounting plate under the factory center counsel with a hurst quarter stick.

What the car still needs:
There is fog on the passenger side of the windshield.
The wiring is a mess so i bought a complete dash wiring harness with air conditioning because the car came from the factory with air. Which needs to be installed.
The rug is new but it is junk I wanted to replace with a new molded rug.
Custom four fan shroud built by Wizards needs to be installed.

The overall condition of the car:
The car has a mirror like finish but has several blemishes. Top of passenger side door... rear passenger side quarter near bumper...in front of driverside rear wheel. I will show in pictures and try to make a video. 

We got the car together last July and my wife hit almost every cruise night over the summer. We also hit two to three major car shows per month including Mopar Nationals, Syracuse Nationals.  In a short period of time we had a lot of fun and used this car a lot but we have two kids and we really need a B body so the kids can have more leg room. 

This is a great street car that rides smooth, has the convenience of power steering and power disc brakes. We got to the Syracuse Nationals late there were over 8000 cars. We could not find a spot to park and we idled through the crowds for 55 minutes trying to find a place to park. It was a hot summer day if that car was ever going to overheat it would have that day and it didn't. It didn't even get close to 200 degrees.

If any questions please call 716-359-8907 the car is at home under the cover I can take more pictures if needed.

'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.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The 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 2012

Before 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.
