Galva, Illinois, United States

1968 Plymouth Fury III

Parts car, but car is completely intact.

383 4v Super Commando V8, 727 Torque-flite automatic trans, complete from oil pan to air cleaner.

10 years ago the car was backed into a barn and parked. It was in the barn for 7 years, then 3 years ago it was loaded up and moved to a farm where it sat outside in rural Illinois.

Engine will not turn over. While attempting to get it running we pulled the spark plugs and one cylinder on each side appears to have corrosion.

Car is completely rusted, body and subframe.

The only piece of trim we saw missing was one of the wheel well trim pieces. Grill is straight and unbent.

Trim is all weather worn but can be restored, only one piece is bent but looks repairable.

Bumpers are perfectly straight but need re-chromed.

Interior is in typical Midwest condition, mice have gotten in at some point. Interior was in good shape when car was parked.

Electrical system still is functioning.

We have the title, car was last registered in 1982 or 1983.

Car is on a farm near rural Galva, Illinois.

I guaranteed my uncle that the car would be gone by October 1.

I live in Arizona, if you are buying the car for parts we can arrange to have parts removed from the car. I have friends that could remove parts for you for a fee, I will put you in contact with them if you win the auction.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before 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.

'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.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

The 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.
