1969 Plymouth Roadrunner, 4 Speed, 426 Hemi Engine on 2040-cars
Sevierville, Tennessee, United States
1969 Plymouth RoadRunner hardtop, black with saddle tan interior, 426 c.i. engine, 4 speed and Dana 60 rear end. Exterior color of car was changed from Bronze Fire Metallic (T-5) in the early '90's by a former owner. Car has since been repainted by this owner in 2007 using PPG single stage. Beautiful car, meticulously maintained and cared for with absolutely no issues. Car sits on a 4post lift which I use to clean the underneath after every outing. Everything works down to the ignition switch illumination when door is opened. Car was researched by Galen Govier in 2003 and is listed in The Chrysler Registry.
This car does have a sanctioned drag racing history; therefore, upgrades made as a result of this were left in place when the engine was totally rebuilt in September of 2004. These upgrades are 12 to 1 compression Venoli pistons, more aggressive cam, Mopar electronic ignition, Holley electric fuel pump, period correct vintage Sun Super Tach model #SST-802 and rear end gear change from 3:54 to 4:10. The engine is original to the car with correct VIN stamping. The A-833 transmission is a 1969 Hemi RoadRunner transmission with an earlier VIN stamping. The transmission was completely rebuilt in 2008. The Carter 4 barrel carburetors were also completely restored by the technicians at Holley in 2005. The car sold new at Barrish Chrysler Plymouth in Los Angeles, CA in May of 1969. The car is driven approximately 10 miles per month and is fueled with 110 octane racing fuel. The cooling system is filled with Evans waterless coolant. Castrol 10W40 full synthetic with ZDD Plus zinc additive is used with the oil. The car has been featured in Mopar Collector's Guide 1992, Muscle Car Review 1994 and Mopar Action 2008. I understand this is a lot of money to most people but the price of the car is two thirds of what I have in the car. I also know everyone is looking for a deal and this price is more than fair. |

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.

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.
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.
