This is a very clean, very unusual car. It was restored and modified in 1995. The restoration was done by Vintage Cars in Fort Mill, South Carolina and the engine was built by Curt Sellers in Charlotte, North Carolina. The body sheet metal is unaltered but the paint color is the 1995 Viper Red and White. All the chrome is stock and is all there except for the hood ornament. The bumpers were rechromed. Rust inhibitor was applied throughout the body. The power train is not stock, it is an early model 354 Hemi bored to about 360 cubic inches and was completely rebuilt with new pistons and rods. The camshaft is the original but with a custom grind and hydraulic lifters. The heads are stock but have been ported, have adjustable pushrods and with the new pistons have a 10/1 compression ratio. It has 2 inch block hugger headers coated in ceramic with 2 1/2 inch dual exhaust with a crossover and flowmax mufflers. The intake is stock with a 4 barrel and it has electronic ignition. It has a rebuilt 3 speed torqueflite from the late 60's and was chosen in order to retain the original push button transmission shifter. The third member is from the 70's, has 3.55 gears and a limited slip differential. The front suspension is stock with stock torque bars but they are aftermarket beefier bars. Antisway bars were added. The interior has stock bench seats with the original 60/40 split for rear seat entry. It has been upholstered with a high quailty naugahyde to match the exterior colors and has a matching red carpet. The car was originally from Arizona and came from the desert and as a result had almost no rust but for some surface flashing. Even the rocker panels were solid when the restoration was done. No metal had to be replaced. It has been in the dry air of inland San Diego for the last ten years and has been garaged. This car is from the pinicle of 50's styling and has incredible eye appeal. The engine has the pop and crackle of a race car and the torque and horse power of the legendary Hemi engine. This is a rock solid car that was built to drive. It may not be a winning show stopper, but it shouts "Fun!" whenever it is seen and with a little TLC will stop traffic where ever it goes.

'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.

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.
