1968 Road Runner 2 Door Hard Top, Numbers Matching Except Paint And Interior on 2040-cars
Spokane, Washington, United States
|
Purchased at auction June, 1999. Driven well under average miles for a sunny day driver. I put 11,000 miles on it in 14 years. The oil has never been dirty nor has it been driven in the rain. Stored inside when it is not being driven. I am a purist, figured this would be a very nice project without working too hard. I love this car but my health keeps me from doing what I set out to do on the car so, here it is. I pulled the engine 3 years ago to paint the block, put all new peripherals on it, never touched the crank or heads, spotless. The engine runs well, you know, it's a MOPAR. I never drove it hard, ever. She is sweet for a driver. It could easily be drive across the country worry free. Looks great from 10 feet, normal paint wear but still pretty decent. Has an 8 track player but needs a speaker. This car happens to have a rear de-fogger. 383, 4bbl, 727 auto on the column, bone stock, although there is a rumor that there is a slightly different cam in it than stock. Possibility if you notice the photos where he raced it once in a while before he sold it. Built ground up but not a rotisserie build by any means. It's a driver. New brakes, including wheel cylinders, some brake lines, tires, dual exhaust, radiator, in perfect alignment, I think it has 3:55 gears, my speedo says 70 the GPS says 62. I have a ton of parts that may go with it, memorabilia for the bird in boxes. It is a car you can drive NOW. It has never failed to run excellent. New Pertronix ignition. Think about it...thanks, Dan

'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.
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.

'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.
