Up for grabs is my 1973 PLYMOUTH DUSTER Big Block Pro Street / Drag project car. YES i have the CLEAR title in hand. This is a 3/4 of the way finished drag car that i wanted to do Death Proof style, that I have not had time to finish and I finally came to terms with letting it go and let someone else have a chance at finishing it. When i got the car it had a 440 in it that was a little weak to say the least, so i sold it and i planned to build a hefty 451 Mopar Stroker to handle a consistent 150 shot of Nitrous. To start off I want to state that there is NO and i mean NO motor in the car at the moment but there is a 400 Mopar engine, which needs to be built into the 451, that is going to go with the car when sold. The transmission, (which is still in the car) is a 727 torqueflite with a 3800 stall converter and Reverse shifted Manual Valve body. It is shifted by a B+M quick shifter in the floor. The rear end is a narrowed 8 3/4 with 4.56 gears and Moser axles with 31x18.5x15 Hoosier Pro Street tires on Vintage CRAGAR Super Trick wheels. It has new rotors, lines and calipers on the front and drum brakes on the rear. The car has a very nice 8 point cage installed with the hinged driver side section. The car has been professionally back halved and has a ladder bar type 3 link with subframe connectors and Adjustable Coil over drag shocks. There is a 10 gallon Aluminum fuel cell in the trunk with 3/8 aluminum fuel line installed along with the Nitrous bottle brackets with lines and aluminum battery box with a battery disconnect in the tail panel. There is basically No interior to speak of currently other than door panels, a drivers race seat with race harness, and an 8 point cage. Like i said, I was going for that Death Proof movie car look and feel. This was a factory tinted glass car and all glass is good with no cracks or chips. The lights work as well. If you want to see the car run and move i have video of this car running last year when the 440 was in it. All the ignition is wired along with the Mallory high flow electric fuel pump, fuel line, Filter assembly and Monster tach with shift light and fuel pressure gauge. The Nitrous setup is controlled by a Jacobs Nitrous Mastermind mounted to the dash and wired up as well. It ALL WORKS. The car comes with HOOKER Super Competition 2" inch primary Big Block Mopar Fenderwell headers, along with a short exhaust system if you want to tame the noise a bit. I also have the radiator and new starter for the car. Basically you are getting a pretty much solid bodied Duster that needs the dash panel completed, the rear wheel tubs installed, and a Big Block Mopar 400 engine that needs to be built to whatever size you like. Most of the expensive race parts are already bought and installed. There has been well over $8,500 in parts put into it already. Start pricing out a Back Half with installing it and a 3 link along with the numerous other parts and see how quick the price can climb well over my start price. My starting bid is VERY cheap for a car built this way already. I am letting this car go with a very reasonable starting bid and the high bidder wins it. I am not putting a reserve on the car so that everyone has a fair chance to get it. If you have any questions please feel free to email me. Good luck bidding.

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.
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.

'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.
