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.

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.

'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 2014

The 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.
