1970 Plymouth Road Runner Project, Roller on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
|
1970 Road Runner 2 door post project being sold with no reserve. This car is just a rolling shell and will require everything to get it back on the street. Car is sold as is with no additional items offered or included. Everything I have for the car is on it and there are no additional items as part of the sale. Car requires engine, trans, all electrical, cooling, instrumentation, interior, fuel system, as well as some needed sheet metal repairs.
Over all metal is in decent condition. Roof, dutchman, drip rails, upper quarters, passenger compartment floors, inner fenders, sub-frame are very solid. Front fenders are decent but have some plastic on the front edges. Rear quarters are fair but will need lowers replaced. Despite its primered and ready for paint look, it still needs work. I verified there is plastic in the lower quarters. Its visible in the passenger fender as well. It may be in other areas but nothing that was obvious. Trunk floor and trunk extensions are shot and need complete replacement. Trunk lid has some un-repaired damage. Hood has extensive damage on passenger corner which is carried through to hinge mounting area. Fender tag reads as follows: 134734; vin sequence # V0E; 440 cid 390 hp 3-2bbl 8 cyl, 1970, Los Angales CA D21; Heavy Duty 4 spd manual trans E87; 440-6 bbl H Engine 051726; order number 302; build date Mar, 02, 1970 TX9; uper door frame black M2X9; medium grade black vinyl bench seat FY1; Lemon Twist paint code N96; Fresh Air hood N41; Dual exhaust w/o tips M21;Roof drip rail moldings J25; 3 spd variable wipers A33; 3:54 Dana 60 Track package FY1; Lemon Twist roof color J11;Glove box loxk Y14 Sold car 69-71 26; 26" radiator END; end of tag Now with all of that out of the way, be advise that this car has all the attributes of being a re-body. The VIN number on the title, the vin tag, and fender tag DO NOT match the numbers stamped into the radiator cowl or the trunk lip. The numbers in these areas appear to be 6 O or 8 173996. I picked this car up as part of a trade. The conditions at the time of this transaction were such that I could not verify all the vins stampings, but I was more concerned with its overall condition than the vin match. If you are buying this car, you should be as well. Since all the documents I have for this vehicles suggest it is 134734 and not 173996, its can only be considered a rebody and future paperwork would only be processed as 134734. However, if you want a solid start to a project and have all the parts lying around to complete it, this could be a very nice car when it is complete. Speaking of paperwork, I'm sure this will be a chore to complete as it is a mess. I have an original title from 1983 from Hilo Hawaii with notice of transfer assignment to the new owner. This owner never title the vehicle and resold it to an individual in Utah earlier this century. This owner never title the vehicle and I picked up in Utah a couple of years ago and have not titled it myself. I picked it up as a semi-solid project to begin some significant modifications to create a modified car without consideration of the "value" of a rebodied 6 pack, fresh air, 4 spd car. As a rebody, its value will always be less than a pedigreed car with a traceable history. Keep this in mind. Other details worth mentioning; the floors are real solid.The frame rails are all solid. Inner fenders are very good. There is no Dana 60, only an 8 3/4 rear. The extra long shackles have gotta go, but they hold it up for now. The old dish mags are cool and the overall stance lends this to the gasser look and suggest it would make a very good beginning for a dedicated race car. There are significant traces of B3 blue throughout the shell. The air grabber is cool and the scoop mechanism is in okay condition but the inner and outer hood needs serious work. Rear side windows are pop out style. Doors are from an equivilent Dodge and are solid. Glass is not bad, but I haven't cleaned it well to verify. Please keep in mind this car is sold AS IS with all its warts, problems, lack of history, lack of parts, and suspect circumstances. Please bid accordingly as you are not picking up an uber rare mopar. Pick up is the buyers responsibility. I can hold the car for a short time after auction completes so you can arrange transport. Thank you for looking and good luck. |

'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.
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.
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.
