1969 PLYMOUTH ROAD RUNNER that is a real factory RM21 car. This car has been restored to almost a perfect factory original, the new paint is correct, the interior is correct, the 383 motor is nom, but correct date coded, and freshly rebuilt, with a 4-speed transmission. This has been a Texas car for some time, so there are no rust issues. The engine compartment is correct and freshly detailed, and the undercarriage is also detailed, and very clean with no signs of prior collision repair, or rust repair. The floors, rockers and trunk are is great condition to be over 40 years old. The interior is new, and the original am radio still sets in the uncut dash with the one speaker under the dash, no holes have been cut in the kick panels, doors, or package tray for speakers. Everything on this car works, like it should. I have the original painted to match the car steel wheels with white letter tired mounted on them, and the dog dish hubcaps that also go with the car, simply by changing the wheels gives this car a entirely different appearance. There is only one issue with the paint and body that keeps it from being perfect and that is where something was left on the air cleaner and the hood was closed on it leaving a small imprint and small paint crack on the hood (as shown it the photos of the car), it was not fixed because it did not bother me - but the next owner may want to address it. My first new car was identical to this car with only one exception, my car did not have power steering like this one has. I reluctantly sold my first road runner because I was raising a family and needed cars with at least 4 doors, it just seemed like the practical thing to do at the time. Over the years I always wondered what ever happened to my first new car that I bought new for less than $3000.00 out the door, back then cokes were just a dime, today if you can find a coke for under a dollar, you better buy it. I looked for years for a car just like my old one, and finally found it, and have enjoyed reliving my youth. I took the car to a car show earlier this year and it drew a huge crown, not many real road runners left I guess, but while I was there I also was drawn to a car that while I had a family, driving sedans and station wagons that I use to just drive by the Oldsmobile dealership and stare at every time I had a chance, a 442 convertible, and bought it on the spot. Now I find myself driving the convertible more than the road runner, and have two 40 year old plus cars in my two car garage, with my brand new truck sitting out on the driveway in the hot and dry Texas weather. I thought about building another garage for my truck, even thought about selling my home and buying another one with a three car garage, but once again, I think the only practical thing to do is sell my roadrunner AGAIN. I am only selling this car because of space problems, and not really interested in trades at all, unless you just happen to have a 1962 Corvette, I was not even old enough to drive in 1962, and could not even begin to afford a car like that, but I sure did want one, and still do to this day, so if you have one and want to trade for a road runner, please call me, and I will worry about the parking issue later. All questions, inquiries, and offers can call 210-494-4075....If you have to leave a message, I will call you back.

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.
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.
