1973 Plymouth Duster on 2040-cars
Greenfield, Indiana, United States
Here's a solid 1973
Duster, ready for someone to complete the restoration; We purchased out
of the south, brought a bare shell back home. Now with a complete
drivetrain. Engine runs smooth, no noises. Tranny shifts as it should, except I don't have the kick down properly adjusted...thus, this should be trailered home. Nice aluminum racing wheels. Tires aren't dry-rotted, but not a whole lot of
tread left either. Engine is a 318 LA motor and tranny from a 76
Duster. Headers are new and heat wrapped. New dual exhaust with nice tips. New gas tank and finishing install on new fuel line. New Summit
racing alum pulleys on front of engine, new glove box, new driveshaft.
Needs an interior to complete restoration. Paint job is amateur..looks
great from a distance, but it's not good. No bondo in body, it's solid.
Two areas of rust; needs a new trunk pan, thats the worst. The front
floors have a few small rust holes, but the pans are solid, you can
stomp on them without give. They could be patched over replacing, usable
for now if you want a driver. Two small dents, the worst is pictured on
the tail panel. Small dent in rooftop, very easy repair. Quarters,
fenders, rockers, hood, top, trunk are all solid.
As stated, this is not a complete car, it's a project. Buying as-is. It
IS a solid foundation for restoration or with a little more input a good
cruiser. I'm happy to answer any & all questions.$500 deposit on
day of sale, remainder when you pick up, I'll hold car 7 days.

'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.
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.
