1968 Plymouth Fury Vip - One Owner So. Cali. Time Capsule - Low Miles (50k) on 2040-cars
|
Up for auction is this wonderful one owner 1968 Plymouth Fury VIP with 50,600 original miles! This car truly is a Southern California time capsule. The Plymouth sold new at Pike's Chrysler Plymouth in Arvin, California and has spent its entire life in sunny Bakersfield. Used sparingly for a occasional road trip but mostly for those special trips to the beauty parlor, this car has extremely low miles at 50,600 and is in exceptional condition. Zero signs of rust and no leaks, drips or slobbers. This Plymouth gets attention everywhere I take it - It is that nice! The Plymouth sports its original paint which shines very nicely BUT, as should be expected, does have a couple of thin spots. The trim and fit/finish are extremely nice. Doors close solid and windows roll up and down nicely. The car does have the expected little door dings and one shopping cart "rub" but nothing one should not expect for a 45 year old car. The vinyl top is VERY nice and in GREAT condition. It is not a Cuda or a Roadrunner but be ready for compliments and thumbs up whenever you take the car out! It is always a crowd favorite! The interior is as near to perfect as you can get. The only flaw I am aware of is a slight split in the drivers arm rest (see photo). Seats, headliner, door panel, carpet and dash are near perfect. This is a very comfortable nice driving car. Mechanically the Plymouth is very solid. Fitted with the iconic 383 Commando the Plymouth runs shifts and drives great. It does have the typical Mopar hesitation when accelerating from a stop but that clears up a bit as the car warms up and is getting better the more the car is driven. I think a nice long road trip would do the car wonders! A/C needs a charge but other than that everything is operational The car is well documented with all paperwork since new (registration, work orders etc). Spare is a bias ply with all original jack equipment in place. Also included is the original owner's manual and shop manual. It really is getting difficult to find original unmolested, well cared for classics that have not been over restored hiding deep dark secrets of the past. This Plymouth is that find! As I said, it is not a Cuda or a Roadrunner BUT it sure would look cool pulling that vintage trailer down the highway next summer! Don't miss your opportunity to own this beautiful 1968 Plymouth Fury VIP. You will not find another one like it! Feel free to call Dean at 661-703-8402 with any questions. |

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.
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.
