This car started as a rust free . .  Satellite from California . Built in St Louis Mo. I purchased the car in 2011 from Michigan U.S.A. along with a Canadian " Roadrunner" that was too rusty to restore. It did however have a 1969 High powered  "440 - 6 " pack 4spd. drivetrain and nice factory white and woodgrain interior. I rebuilt the engine with a single 4 bbl. , 4 spd. transmission (A833), and the 8 3/4 373 posi. rearend and installed them in the southern car. Along with that I purchased a new fuel tank, sending unit, pre - bent fuel lines etc. from 440- Source and Year One. After the car was re-painted "Lemon Twist Yellow", I replaced all door rubbers, window felts, headliner, dash pad , carpets and door sill plates and decals. This car has the factory functional Air Grabber hood, console, pistol grip shifter, chrome mirrors, new rally wheels and radial T/A tires, front eyebrows, front disc brakes, power steering and power brakes from the Canadian Roadrunner.There is also the factory am/fm radio with the optional remote cassette player. This originally was a factory Air car with factory tint. I will include the air comp. and rad but it is not installed. There is an issue with the gauge cluster not getting power or no ground. It was working fine but quit last fall. The exhaust is new dual front to back with machine gun tips with  H.P. manifolds. I installed an Alpine stereo and amp. with sub. but did not cut or modify the  car to fit it. This is easily removed if you wish. I drive this car to shows and cruise nights all summer long and is very reliable and rare. All floors, body  panels, frame and torsion bars are rust free and factory original and is one of the best  and cleanest I have built in my 35 years of restoring  Hot rods and Classic cars in my opinion. You will not be disappointed with this beautiful example of Mopar history. I have enforced a very reasonable reserve on this car . Good luck and happy bidding. May the best man, or woman win. Thank-you Steve!

'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.

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.
