This is a 1949 business coupe that we just pulled out of the barn. We've decided to let her go to one of you.  It has been tucked away for two decades. It ran and was parked when the recent owner passed away. I removed the radiator thinking that I may have to put a wrench on the crank to turn it over. However, I put a hot battery in it and she turned over good. I was about to see if I could get her running again by running a hot wire to the coil. Sorry, but the snow came and stopped me from going any further with it. I'll leave the rest to you or your shop. It needs restoration. It is an all original car with the flat head engine, split front windshield, good solid frame, drivers door panel is inside the car, chrome trim is behind the seat, and the trunk latch is inside the car. All tires will hold air except the driver's front. The inner tube blew out while we were bouncing the rearend around to get it out of the barn stall. I can have a used tire put on it if you need me too. It is ready for you to rat rod, customize, or return to original condition. It has some rust in the floors, body, and it has surface rust in several places. Please see the photos for confirmation. I could only post 24. If you need more photos please let me know. I did post a photo of what one of these 1949 Plymouth Business Coupes can look like once restored. They are cool!

I am located about 15 minutes north of downtown Atlanta, GA right off of I-85 in Duluth, GA 30096. This Plymouth will be kept in a safe and secure location until you can arrange pickup.

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.

'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.
