1941 Plymouth Convertible on 2040-cars
Spencer, Indiana, United States
|
Listed several weeks ago at $10k, no bidders. Contacted by several people asking to relist at a lower price. This car was purchased by my friend in 1968 and taken to car shows. He decided to restore it in 1970, jacked it up and stripped off the doors, hood, fenders. It was still that way when I met him in 1989. He passed away 4 years ago and I obtained the car. Being stored in a shed caused the paint to deteriorate badly. Much paint peel and metal pitting (see picture) but no rust through that I am aware of. The floors appear solid but look like they had surface rust and were coated with a hard black material years ago. Still has the original front floormats. Frame appears solid. To stop some of the rust, I had all loose body parts bead blasted and primed but did not fill in the pits. The top and tires are pre-1968. Top looks good but back window will not zip up. Interior door panels and other pieces are there but interion will need redone. The car does run, motor runs good but has one noisy lifter and the brakes are soft but will stop the car. This car is not in driving condition and requires total restoration. The wing windows and door windows were removed when the car was stored and are in excellent condition. I have boxed up most of the NOS and used parts and have no doubt that their value way exceeds $3000. Although not in the picture, the hood is available and has been bead blasted and primed. There is no parts car, it has been sold. NOS parts include both front fenders (see picture), running board chrome (rare) and many hard to find parts. When picking up the car, the high bidder needs also to be able to haul the extra parts as they will not all fit in the convertible. This car and parts cannot be delivered, local pick up only in Spencer, Indiana. High bidder must bring cash, no checks, when picking up the car and parts. Car and parts must be picked up within 2 weeks of auction close. Will not sell any items seperately. Email if you want more info, want to see the car or need more pictures. Additional: Before the previous owner passed away he told me that he had been sanding on the frame and using POR-15. He also put in a new radiator and had the gas tank coated on the inside(?). Some of the NOS parts include: 2 NOS coils, kick panels, front fender lower chrome (hard to find), lots of wheel bearings and seals, fuel pump, muffler, tailpipe and clamps, 4 hubcaps and a lot more. There is a lot of used parts including an extra transmission. Per questions asked, serial number is 11379470, body number is 304 10738 and motor number is P12*509093. Top cylinders have not been removed from the car and there is a lot of stainless steel for the grill, etc should be complete with a lot of extra. Additional questions: There are two sets of running boards, the originals, with rubber that would work well but not for show and another set NOS of which one has a small chunk of rubber missing on the end (should repair fairly easily. The front and rear bumper main sections will need rechromed but all four bumper wings are NOS. |

'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.
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.
'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.
