340 Plymouth Duster (no Reserve) on 2040-cars
Simi Valley, California, United States
|
This is a really nice car with an older restoration dating back to 1990, the previous owner kept meticulous records and all receipts for the work completed. I have an appraisal that states at the time the value of the car is over 25k, but i believe most of these appraisals are for insurance purposes. Ive quickly calculated some of the invoice and this car has over 25k invested. It appears as though the reconstruction/restoration was completed in 1990, The car was born as a base line, 6cyl car and transformed into a 340 car. I was told the motor and transmission was out of a challenger. The motor & transmission was rebuilt in 2009. Paperwork reads motor was bored .30 over 3" exhaust, coated headman headers, mild cam edlebrock performer intake, griffin aluminum radiator, 727 transmission with shift kit. Posi 8 3/4 rear end with 3.55 gears, lightweight stater O4529127 mopar performance. This car was purchased for 10k in 2208 from a used car dealership in San Diego Ca for just over 10k, sales paperwork in hand. The brakes were converted to stainless steel front and rear power discs. I have the dyno paper work stating that the horse power is 219.52 with 258.83 foot lbs. of torque. the speedo was calibrated on 9-16-92. Hal Shocks front & rear adjustable. Hologen bulbs, Konic front racing seats. Sub frame connectors.
The car is in great shape, I believe the finishing touches are minimal. There are a couple of scratches on the driver door, canopy fell and scratched it. A small amount of surface rust on the top of the rear bumper can be seen, someone told me the bumpers have been crafted to fit the car better, Im not sure but I wouldn't doubt it with all of the receipts and the custom work completed. The rear seat folds down & opens up to the trunk. The original jack is in the trunk. In my opinion this is a really great running car, every time I drive it I get thumbs up from other drivers. The original side view mirrors were removed for some aftermarket turbos, they have been removed and just a couple of screws exist now. I have 1 original driver side mirror that I will include with the car. I have attempted to describe the vehicle as best as I can based on the paperwork that was provided to me by the previous owner. I have listed the vehicle no reserve at a very fair rate. I do have the vehicle listed locally & reserve the right to remove it from this site, however if the bid is placed I will lock in and guarantee the sale through ebay. I have a clean title in hand, and the vehicle has currant California registration. I encourage all interested to contact me with any questions, I am not a mechanic or an expert but I will do my best to help the best I can. The speedo reads 25243, Im not sure if thats I'd assume thats over 125k |

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.

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.
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.
