PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER CAR AUCTIONS THIS INCREDIBLE 1971 PLYMOUTH ROAD RUNNNER WITH ITS 28 OPTIONS & OPTION PACKAGES HAD AN MSRP OF $5,386.50! THIS IS $2,239.50 OR 71% OVER THE BASE MSRP OF A '71 ROAD RUNNER! THERE ARE NO 4BBL, 6BBL OR HEMI ROAD RUNNERS (INCLUDING SUPERBIRDS) OF ANY YEAR TO HAVE A HIGHER MSRP THAN THE CAR YOU SEE HERE, OTHER THAN THREE '71 HEMI ROAD RUNNERS! ALSO, THERE NO 6BBL OR 6-PACK B-BODY CARS FROM ANY YEAR TO HAVE A HIGHER MSRP THAN THIS CAR OTHER THAN ONE '71 CHARGER R/T! FURTHERMORE, THERE ARE NO KNOWN 4BBL, 6-PACK OR HEMI E-BODIES OF ANY YEAR TO HAVE HAD A HIGHER MSRP THAN THIS ROAD RUNNER OTHER THAN ONE '71 HEMI 'CUDA CONVERTIBLE & ONE '71 HEMI CHALLENGER! BASED ON MY RESEARCH I FEEL CONFIDENT IN MAKING THE STATEMENT THAT: "THERE WERE NO MORE THAN 25 "MOPAR MUSCLECARS" TO HAVE HAD A HIGHER MSRP THAN THIS VERY SIGNIFICANT '71 ROAD RUNNER!" I DO REALIZE THESE ARE SOME REALLY STRONG CLAIMS I'VE MADE AND BASED ON A WHOLE LOT OF RESEARCH, I BELIEVE EVERY ONE OF THEM TO BE TRUE, SO I'M CHALLENGING EVERYONE WHO READS MY CLAIMS TO TRY AND PROVE ME WRONG BY USING A BROADCAST SHEET &/OR AN ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER TO BACK UP ANY ARGUMENT YOU HAVE WITH MY CLAIMS! Now, with all of that being said, onto the Road Runner here for sale: The complete ownership history of this car is known all the way back to the original owner and the original selling dealership where it was special ordered by its first proud owner! It still has its original factory installed numbers matching 383 engine, Automatic Transmission & 3.91 Sure-Grip! Fortunately, for a car as significant as this one is, it has a very nice, complete & legible Broadcast Sheet as well as its Original Fender Tags & Galen Govier Docs! As you can see from the pictures, all of the cars original options are still intact and in very nice reusable condition with the exception of maybe the front spoilers! Above, I mention 28 options & option packages. The car actually came with more options than what I've listed such as Wheel Lip Moldings, Canopy Vinyl Top, Rear Speakers & Deluxe Steering Wheel but these options are included in three of the option packages. The frame rails are in mint condition as well as the trunk floor, the area around the rear window and the whole floor board with the only exception being some small holes where the driver would put their feet. The only rust issues the car has are the ones that you can see in the pictures of the outer body and there is a small rust spot in front of each hood hinge and some at the bottom of the trunk floor extensions on the back side of the quarter panels. The engine and transmission will need to be rebuilt. Overall the car is in really good condition and had always been taken care of and not driven in nasty winter weather. The price of the car includes the original 14" Road Wheels with New B.F. Goodrich tires that you see in a few of the pictures and not the 15" Rallye Wheels and Good Year Poly Glas tires that you see in the other pictures. I just put the 15's on it for some of my personal pictures because I think they look a lot better than the 14's. If you have any questions about the car or want to talk about the claims I've made please call Scott at (405) 203-4441 or send me an email to: pentastarcars@cox.net

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.

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.
