1969 Plymouth Road Runner. Non original 440 engine, 4 Speed manual, manual brakes, non power steering car. Originally a 383 engine in F5 medium green. The previous owner painted the darker F8 forest green over the F5 green. Car has been stored since it was last registered in 1988. This was a literal barn find from a guy who lost his license and had to take it off the road. The car sat for several years in his barn until I purchased it 12 years ago with the intension of restoring it. I towed the car home, changed the engine fluids, cleaned the plugs, ran some gas to the carb via a gas can and had it running within a few hours. The 440 ran very strong and the tranny shifted nicely but I did not drive the car at all. I than began to dismantle the car, taking the engine out, removing the interior, molding, rear end, etc. I did replace the springs but that is the extent of my work. The rest is history as they say. I just can't find the time for it now so she's off to a good home.
This car needs total restoration but is very solid with a strong 440 and a good workable body. I placed the engine back in the car and secured it for transport but as stated, the entire car will need to be restored and is NOT currently running. The rear end needs a third member but the car does roll fine. There is minimal body rust except in the normal floor pans and truck areas. I purchased new floor pans but they have not been installed so they are just sitting in the car floor. The frame and frame rails look very solid with only surface rust seen. The previous owner stated it ran strong before he had to take it off the road. When he finally got his license back he opted for a pickup truck and left the car in storage. I have 2 white buckets seats or a bench seat, your choice but both need to be redone.
Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs but I will certainly provide help with loading the car. A $500 deposit due within 3 days and full payment must be received within 7 days of auction end. Pickup within 30 days. If you have a question, Please ask.

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.
Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars
Sat, 18 Jan 2014The 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.
