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.

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.
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.
