1961 Plymouth Belvedere 2 Door Hardtop Factory Ss1 Lavender Met Daily Driver on 2040-cars
Ocala, Florida, United States
This car is my daily driver. Yes, it really is driven every day, with no problems. It has the factory 318, which runs perfectly, absolutely the best running car I've ever had. The original torqueflite automatic trans was rebuild by a reputable restoration shop three years ago. Factory power steering works great, factory power brakes, but the booster has a vacuum leak, so right now I've been driving around with the booster disconnected. I've actually gotten quite used to it that way. It could also use a fresh passenger side rear brake drum, as it's annoyingly warped. The shoes and wheel cyls, and lines are all very very nice, with no leaks or rust. It currently has a new set of skinny white walls on it, (I had planned to put port-0-walls over them). I have the other two '61 wheel covers to go with the car, as I will be keeping my Lancer caps. It has fresh exhaust manifolds, gaskets and bolts, and a very nice and tight dual exhaust with glass packs. Sounds fantastic. I use NO ethanol gas, octane booster, lead additive, and only high zinc non-detergent oil, and replace the filter cartridge with every oil change. It uses no oil and it doesn't leak. Interior is original and is rough. You can see by the pics. Dash is nice. Door panels are missing. Headliner is not original. Carpet is good. I've included a pic of what this car looked like back in the 1980's. It was gorgeous. Then it was sold and very mildly customized. At some time after that, the car sat for quite some time outside, and this is the result of that. It's a shame, but at least it's better now than when I aquired it. I'm hoping someone is able to restore it, as I need to concentrate more on my '58 at this time. The car does have lower outer body rust, however, there is NO RUST underneat the car at all. This is due to the time it spent sitting idle outdoors here in humid Florida before I purchased the car. Easiest way is to replace both front fenders, and the trunklid. The quarters can be fixed, as the lips are still good. The rockers are solid, as are the bottom of the doors. The rust is contained to the outer sheetmetal only, and really looks worse than it is. I'm sure I've forgotten a few things, so if you are interested, please ask questions, or ask for my phone number. Located in Ocala, FL 34470, can be picked up here. Must be paid for in full withing three days of the auction's close, and a non refundable deposit thru paypal within 24 hours.

'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.
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.

'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.
