Up or auction is my 1948 Plymouth Special deluxe. This is a 3 owner car, I am the 3rd. It has spent its whole life within about a 15 mile radius. The car was restored in the early 80's. It was repainted and the engine completely rebuilt. In 1994 the car was put into storage untill I bought it recently. I went through all the mechanical and got it back to road worthy state. This car drives awesome. I have put about 300 miles on it in 2 weeks and feel that it needs nothing else done to drive to the shows. The body is in good shape and the paint is holding up quite well due to the fact it was always stored indoors. It does have its share of chips and scratches, the most notable is a scuff/dent under the passenger side front headlight.The interior is all original and useable, but discolored and needs to be redone. The seats have a few holes, and the door cards need recovered. The gauges all work, the radio lights up but does not work, may be a fuse I haven checked it out. The car runs a steady 40PSI oil pressure and the temp runs a solid 160 degrees. All in all this is a great driver car. you can get it in right now and just rack up the miles just the way it is. Its not a rocket ship but rides, steers and brakes real nice.

 

Please call and/or ask questions Thanks, Ryan. 309-275-7466

 

I am offering a 100% money back guarentee with this car, if you show up to pick it up and feel this car is not in anyway exactly like I have described it I will refund any funds that have been put on it. I will not offer this if the car is shipped sight unseen, only for pickup. Keeping the buyer happy is just as important to me as having 100% feedback rating.

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.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The 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.
