SELLER REMARKS

This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner isn't going to last long on the showroom floor. They never do. It must be the combination of in-your-face audacity with Limelight Green paint, big block power, and the no-frills attitude that makes these cars so popular year-in and year-out. Don't say we didn't warn you.

Chrysler's High-Impact colors were the talk of the industry in 1970 and today when you show up in a car like this it gets everyone talking. And yes, this is a correct FJ5 Limelight Green car, restored to as-delivered specs and completely unapologetic about it. It was painted in 1993, but it's so well preserved that you'd think it was painted much more recently and the finish gets the color exactly right. No metallic, no modern takes on an old favorite, just the bold fluorescent green that practically defined Mopar muscle. And if you're going to attract this kind of attention, you'd better get the bodywork right, too, so they took their time to put it together far more carefully than the factory could manage. Not perfect, but you can see the hours of block sanding that went into it before the glowing paint went on. It also got a blacked out hood treatment and a set of proper Road Runner dust trails running down its flanks (experts will note that there is a left side and a right side, and this one was done correctly). Out back there's a Go-Wing above a blacked-out tail panel that amped up the aggression over the 1969 models. Nice chrome bumpers are almost subtle on a car that looks like this and the fine-toothed grille remains in very good condition.

The interior is miraculously almost entirely original. Yes, it's industrial-strength with a front bench, but it needs no excuses with a 4-speed pistol grip shifter there in the center, proving that it was built for combat. Only the carpets have been replaced, and the reproduction threads use the correct nap and weave for a factory-correct look and the original stuff is so nice that nothing really looks out of place. It's got a full complement of Rallye gauges, including a Tick-Tock-Tach, so the guy spec'ing out the order form knew what he was doing. Newer upgrades include a modern A/C system and an AM/FM/CD stereo head unit neatly grafted into the dash where the Music Master AM unit used to live. The trunk is still wearing its original paint as well as the factory-issued mat that's in remarkably good shape.

The 383 cubic inch V8 under the hood has a few choice upgrades to make it reliable, most notably the MSD ignition system, but the heavy-duty torque factory runs like a stocker. The twin-snorkel air cleaner wears correct decals and Hemi Orange paint on the block stands out in sharp contrast to the glowing Limelight Green paint. It starts easily and pulls through all four gears like it's trying to escape from something, and the sound from the twin Flowmasters is simply amazing. The underside shows off years of clean living down south, and while there's no power steering or brakes, you'll probably discover that you don't miss them in this car. Handsome Magnum 500 wheels are always a great choice on 1970s muscle and they're wrapped in fat 14-inch white-letter radials for a sporty look.

Not for the faint-of-heart, this high-visibility Mopar more than delivers on the promises made by the outrageous paint job. Like I said, you probably shouldn't be waiting on this one, call now!

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before 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 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.

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.
