ITS TIME TO PASS ON THE TORCH TO SOMEONE WHO HAS THE TIME AND FINANCES TO RESTORE THIS CAR TO THE LEVEL IT DESERVES. FIRST OFF, THE THE BAD. AS YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY IN THE PHOTOS IT WILL NEED A TOTAL RESTORATION. IT IS NO EASY FIX. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE REAR FRAME RAILS AND TRUNK FLOOR SO IT IS STANDING ON ITS OWN AGAIN. THE TRUNK LID IS SHOT BUT I HAVE ANOTHER USED ONE IN BETTER SHAPE THAT CAN BE REPAIRED AND USED. THE HOOD IS GOOD BUT THE REAR QUARTERS NEED REPLACING AS DO THE FRONT FENDERS. YOU COULD REPAIR THE FRONTS BUT BEING THIS IS A BLACK CAR IT WOULD LOOK LIKE A JIGSAW PUZZLE UNLESS YOU START OFF WITH NEW STEEL. I HAVE NEW TRUNK FLOOR EXTENSIONS,OUTER WHEEL ARCHES AND ROCKER PANELS. THE FRONT FRAME NEEDS SOME ATTENTION AS MOST B BODY CARS DO. NOW FOR THE GOOD. IT IS A NUMBERS MATCHING 383/AUTO CLOUMN SHIFT CAR THAT CAME BLACK ON BLACK FROM LYNCH ROAD ASSEMBLY WHERE IT WAS BORN AND HAS BEEN IN AND AROUND THE GTA ITS ENTIRE LIFE. I HAVE THE FENDER TAG BUT NO BUILD SHEET. IT HAS A CLEAR ONTARIO TITLE. AMONG THE SLEW OF PARTS I HAVE FOR THE CAR I ALSO AVE A NEW SET OF HOOKER HEADERS AND IF YOU LIVE IN ONTARIO I ALSO HAVE A PAIR OF NEW NOS ONTARIO 1969 LICENCE PLATES. HEADERS AND LICENCE PLATES ARE NOT SOLD WITH CAR. THEY WOULD BE EXTRA IF WANTED.RESTOREABLE NUMBERS MATCHING MUSCLE CARS ARE GETTING HARDER TO FIND SO DON'T LET THIS ONE SLIP AWAY. DO NOT ASK IF I WILL SEPARATE MOTOR/TRANS. BUY IT ALL OR DON'T BUY IT AT ALL. IF YOU HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF PAYING, DON'T WASTE MY TIME. BRING A TRAILER AND A BIG TRUCK FOR ALL THE PARTS. NO SHIPPING. BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR PICKUP. I ACCEPT PAYPAL,CASH, OR A CERTIFIED CHEQUE ONLY.CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION IF IT SELLS LOCALLY.

'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.
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.
Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars
Sat, 18 Jan 2014The 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.
