For auction on ebay is my original California 1970 Plymouth Road Runner.  The car has approximately 77k original miles and is documented on the title.  Please check out all the photos below.  The car is Lemon Twist yellow and looks awesome.  If you are looking to be different this is the car for you.  It is very striking and the color combo looks great. Please read everything below to see everything done to this car and help answer many of the questions you may have. The car still retains its original trunk floor.   I will break down each area to describe all the work done.  Car runs and drives great and just needs a new owner. Has build sheet and its fender tag. This is a post 70 Roadrunner which are a bit more rare then the hard top version.  This is also the most sought after year(1970) and collectible Roadrunner that was produced.  Please see below for details:

 

Body- Car has new paint job that was done 3 months ago.  Quarters, top, sail panels, floor boards, frame, rockers , etc, are all in excellent shape.   The car is very straight and looks great.  FY1 Lemon Twist yellow.  All trim, bumpers, door handles, grille , taillights, etc were removed prior to paint.  Engine bay and trunk also painted without engine installed, so it was done right.   Grille and taillights along with tail panel in very nice condition. Grille has no cracks or breaks.  New front and rear bumpers.  All stainless is original and in excellent shape. This car was stored for a very long and only recently brought back to life.

Overall as you can see a lot has been done to the car to get into the condition you see below.  The car has a ton of new parts and hundreds of hours going through this  Roadrunner.  The only thing not hooked up currently is the radio.  Radio turns on and works but needs speakers hooked up.  Its the stock AM radio.  Look around and try to find a 70 Roadrunner with this much work recently done for a fair price. Rare opportunity to own an affordable 70 Roadrunner with all the hard work done.  Get in and go!

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.

'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.

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.
