No Reserve! 1966 Plymouth Satellite 440 Magnum Auto Street / Race Car on 2040-cars
Mission Hills, California, United States
|
98% STREET LEGAL 1966 Plymouth Satellite. 440 Magnum/Auto trans. Manual brakes, manual steering, manual windows, Hemi Orange paint with nice newer black vinyl top in great condition. 440 engine NOT original. 440 is "J" code HP stamped on block near distributor. I believe it is originally a 318 Poly motor car. I have owned the car since 1994. I bought it from a kid who went off to law school and lost interest in it. If I remember the story correct, he got it from his grandmother, original owner. She purchased it in Minnesota, had it there for less than a year, and moved to California, where it has been ever since. Virtually zero rust. A couple of spots with some Bondo. I bought the car with the idea of bracket racing it. 440 motor appears to have been rebuilt, probably in the mid 1980's, and is low compression motor. I saw inside the bottom end when I replaced the pan, very clean. I have a bore scope if you want to pull a plug and look inside motor. I installed a stock magnum cam, which was bigger than what came out of it. Holley 750 vacuum secondary carb, Edelbrock dual plane intake, MSD 6AL ignition, 7 quart deep Moroso pan, fluidampr, torque strap. I installed an electric water pump and electric fans and aluminum radiator. I rebuilt the trans with a B&M trans kit. Stock converter. Trans cooler. Rear end has a rebuilt 8 3/4", 3.91 sure grip. Green bearings. Mopar Performance (MP) Super Stock springs, MP pinion snubber, MP drive shaft. 15 gallon Triangle Engineering fuel tank and battery in trunk, Holley Blue pump, braided stainless lines everywhere, Mallory return style fuel pressure regulator system, electrical cutoff switch in tail. fuel cool can. Mount for NOS nitrous bottle and stock mounts (bottle and mounts not included). Nitrous never used on car. I was thinking about it. You still need to run nitrous line to carb. Line lock on front brakes for doing burnouts, button on shifter. Interior is pretty much stripped, 12 point Chris Alston roll cage, subrfame connectors, removeable swing out door bars, safety net. Nice newer headliner. Poly seats, out of date 5 point harnesses. Auto meter gauges, switche panel on roll cage. Original ignition key works, but car is push button to start. Known issues: One of the 2 electric fans doesn't work since a week after I installed them (apparently a cheapo from Summit). Also, when running fans, water pump, and ignition, stock alternator can't keep up at idle. Stock is like 30 amp alternator. I installed these electric accessories with the thought of being able to cool down better between rounds at the race track. It didn't really work as planned. If I kept the car, I would pull them out, and reinstall the stock radiator, fan, fan shield, and water pump. Currently has aluminum water pump housing. I have the old radiator and water pump housing, they go with the car, you need both because the outlets are on opposite side of what is there now. Also, I think one rear brake is making a chattering noise. All the brakes were rebuilt, so maybe just some adjustment needed. 2" Hooketr headers, Flowmaster 40 series mufflers, custom side exhaust. Car sounds very cool, but not excessivly loud. I never had a problem with cops. But it sounds cool enough to get a lot of thumbs up. Paint is in decent shape, but this is NOT a show car. The paint was supposed to be temporary, ungtil I could take the time and money and perfect the body. That was 10 years ago. I was going to do a Sox and Martin red, white, and blue paint job. Paint was also damaged when a wind storm blew some shingles off my roof and onto the car. There is also some bubbling in the paint at lower rear quarter panels that I think was from some metal prep that wasn't cleaned off before painting. Hood has paint peeling where hood scoop attaches, probably from reaction with Loctite used on hood scoop hold down screws. Hood has hole cut inside scoop for fresh air that fits air cleaner. Brake lights/turn signals work fine. Headlights only low beam works. No reverse lights. No horn, and no wipers, but the motor is there. Tires are some years old, but look great. Maybe 500 miles on them. American Racing Torque Thrust D rims, very nice. Clear title, I have pink slip and registration papers. Dents in front and rear bumpers. Car has been California Non Operational status since 2008. It has been sitting in various garages since 1994. Car is currently running (very nicely), and can easily be driven onto a trailer. I took it for a romp around the block last week. I don't think you should drive it home, due to it not being registered, and I don't know the status of the cooling system fans. Weighs 3800 pounds. I bracket raced the car about a dozen times, winning one race. It runs mid 14's at 85 mph, shifting at 4400 rpm, at LA County Raceway, about 3500 ft Density Altitude. If you bid and win the car, and come out and don't like it, we can cancel the deal, no problem, so bid with confidence. Email me if you want to see the car, in 91344 Granada Hills, California. I can work with your shipper if you need to ship car, but I would like you to see car first, to make sure everything is cool with you. I sold one of my other cars about 7 years ago, dropped it off at the shipper, and the guy loved it. It could use a bit of maintenance, and be a good cruiser, not a show car right now. Car should pass NHRA tech as is with new belts, and add aftermarket axles if you run slicks, and perhaps new tires just to be safe.

'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 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.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The 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.
