1969 Plymouth Roadrunner Convertible, 440, Buckets, Console Auto Floor Shift on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
|
Originally 383ci. As the $55k Roadrunner seller states (his eBay item number: 271533742981), "his is one of 1111 convertibles with 383 & auto", (as is mine, BUT mine must be even more rare with center floor shift rather than column shift). That does not make mine of equivelent value to his, but is a plus in itself.... This one now has "20,000 miles since rebuild" on a 1971 440ci.; and, it has original center console floor shift heavy duty auto//buckets. Mine is of course, is much less to buy based upon some needs & not the original motor (BUT, older rebuilt motor !). Doors close flush with no drops or kinking. No rust on bottoms or sills. Body panels are even/flush (it is a "driver" paint work; done about 5 years ago). *3 owners (call or ebay contact for histories). 383 originally; now 1971 440c.i. with *20,000* documented miles on rebuild ( rebuilt in the period of second ownership-1984 to 1999) . This is a fast machine & was never used in racing. The second owner ( I have his name & number) did do one trial 1/4 mile speed time trial test on the newly rebuilt motor (*after proper rebuild break-in procedure). It did 14 seconds (would have been faster but would need a high output electric fuel pump or long stroke mechanical fuel pump). The 440 does not run cam "choppy"; has a nice smooth power feel. Solid floors, doors, inner rockers, inner quarters, inner wheel wells, frame, etc.; original trunk surrounds with solid weld-in center (can email pictures); bubbling outer rockers/quarters, but all factory seams, wheel well partitions, upper splash panel areas including both sides junctions to trunk connections, etc. are solid. The front fender wheel wells are also solid factory splash areas where joining the rockers. The passenger front floor may have had a decent job factory pattern replacement panel (can email pictures or possibly by phone). Has a scratch on passenger side front fender forward of the roadrunner decal (see picture). Excellent original, slightly factory tinted glass (other than the small upper passenger side windshield "BB"spot & crack-see picture). Doors close flush with no drops or kinking. No rust on bottoms or sills. Body panels are even/flush (it is a "driver" paint work; done about 5 years ago). It does have bondo/bubbling in lower areas & here/there (see pictures). 1969 was a long time ago, therefore giving you some repair skill building clean up opportunity :). Not bad for an old pedal to the metal rendition. Rare: buckets, center console auto, A/C, deluxe stereo, deluxe interior lights. Options: A/C, PS, PB, P top ( **with excellent condition GLASS rear window )(A/C parts all present; not working); **front disc brakes*. All NEW seats recovered. Top material in great shape (no holes); has a perfect rear glass window with a new top lift cylinder now installed, no leaks, & working great. NEW: side markers, door panels, door arm rests & backing plates; lift cylinder as mentioned, upholstery as mentioned. This is almost a "ready" driver with some brake work to be checked (rear drum brakes on one side stick sometimes). No oil burn smoke anytime; no overwheating. **********************************Fender tag decoded: RM27: H9G: 383 330HP OR 335HP 1-4BBL 8 CYL 240631: Sequence number; order number E63: 383 cid 4 barrel V8 H.P. 335hp A04: Basic radio group J25: 3 Speed Wipers 26: 26in Radiator THE RADIO WAS DELUXE UPGRADE, I BELIEVE.

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.
