1969 Plymouth Roadrunner Convertible, 440, Buckets, Console Auto Floor Shift on 2040-cars

Year:1969 Mileage:26286 Color: Q
Location:

Jacksonville, Florida, United States

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.

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The 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 2014

The 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.
