1961 Plymouth Belvedere 2 Door Hardtop 61 Factory Lavender Daily Driver No Res on 2040-cars
Ocala, Florida, United States
|
First off, I hate to sell this car, but I have come to the conclusion that I will never be able to give it the restoration it deserves. Mechanically it's great, and underneath is perfect, but it needs a bunch of outer body repair and complete interior restoration. It's factory SS1 Lavender Metallic, with charcoal/silver/white interior. Original 318, torqueflite, power steering, power brakes, radio, heater, and clock. It is driven daily and is one of the best running poly engines I've ever had. I also had the transmission fully rebuilt and painted last year. I have a CD documenting the rebuild to go with it. Mechanically, you won't have to do much of anything to this car, except maybe a cleaning and detailing. Brakes have been gone through, (rebuilt all wheel cyls, lines are fantastic, drums turned, but it could benefit from a fresh rear passenger side brake drum, that one is pretty warped and causes pedal pulse. Power booster has been drawing too much vacuum lately, so I've disconnected it until it can be rebuilt. It has a very nicely done dual exhaust system with glasspacks and fresh exhaust manifold gaskets. It sounds awesome and runs very clean. A couple of months ago, I put brand new radial skinny white walls on it. I could benefit visually from a set of port-a wall wide whites. I've also removed the custom door panels out of it. Interior needs upholstery, door panels, and dash is faded. Heater core is bypassed for now because the heater control valve leaked. I have a replacement valve to go with the car. Underneath this car, including the sub frame, all floors and trunk floor you will find absolutely NO rot at all. Not even scale. I cannot stress this enough. Front fenders are rotted, trunklid is rotted. Rockers are very solid. Inners are all solid. Quarters have outer holes. You can see it all in the pics. You can however, get in this car and drive it home with no problems, have plenty of power, and get 20 MPG at the same time. I want $6,800 for it, or I would consider any forward look Mopar, (4 door hardtop, or station wagon) that is in daily driver condition. Has to be a driver, as I need this for my transportation. I'm simply wanting to replace it with another forward that needs less cosmetic work. No six cyl cars, no standard trannys. Must be V-8, auto with at least power steering. Preferably 60 Dodge, 60-61 Plymouth, but I will entertain any forward look car obviously. If you'd like to speak further about it, message me and send me your phone number if you like. Please don't let it scare you, it's really not as bad as it looks. Located in Ocala, Florida, 34470 No overseas buyers.......sorry, but I'd like to see this car stay in the states. It is up to you to arrange your own shipping. I cannot store the car, so it must be paid for in full within three days of the auction's end, and must be picked up within one week. Cash or bank transfer only. No games and no tire kicking once you get here. If you want to cut it up, or put Chevy power in it, or modernize it, don't even bother bidding, I won't sell it to you. Like I said, I hate to let it go, but it deserves a proper restoration.

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.
'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.
