1968 Plymouth Fury I Police Package California Car No Reserve on 2040-cars

NO RESERVE!!!
For sale is this 1968 Plymouth Fury I police package . I bought this car about a year and a half ago but haven't had the time to finish it and I can now use the room. This is an original police car as evidinced by the second character in the VIN- the "K" designates police. The full Vin decodes as follows:
P- Fury K-Police 41- Sedan F-318-2bbl 8-1968 D-Belvidere plant 212316 consecutive number I don't know which department this car served, it was produced in white but shows signs of green paint (green and white was a popular police paint scheme at the time). Being that the car is equipped with a 318 the car likely served with a local P.D. The blue license plates with "A" series letters were issued in 1970 so that is likely when the car was retired from service and stayed in the area ever since, it still wears original license plate frames. Police package 1968 Furys were available with engines ranging from the slant 6 up to a 440 V8. This car still has it's original certified police speedometer, 4 original police only rims and hubcaps, rubber floormat and build sheet.The visibar light bar is vintage correct and is equipped with amber lenses to keep ebay happy, these could be easily changed to any color by the buyer. Don't be confused by the "tribute", "clone" or whatever other term is used by other cars on ebay painted to resemble a police car, this is the real thing. When I got the car I drove it on the freeway about 50 miles with no problems, I haven't driven it any distance since but it starts right up and sounds great. The body looks good, the paint has a few chips. The paint is a decent job, it's not concours but is comparable to most cars at vintage police car shows. The front bumper could use rechroming, the back is OK but not new. The dash has no cracks and the seats and door panels look good, the headliner and windlace could be replaced but are not hanging down. Vintage police cars are always a hit at car shows and parades, drawing more attention than cars costing much more. This Fury is ready to be finished to represent any department you choose. As with any old car it is not perfect, it is being offered with no reserve. Zero feedback buyers must provide their contact information prior to bidding or your bid will be cancelled. Any questions should be asked and inspections done prior to the end of the auction, you are bidding to buy the car, not the right to inspect it after the fact.There is a clear title on the car, the registration expired in October 2013. There will be a small penalty at DMV for California buyers, no penalties for anyone else. The buyer agrees to pay a $500.00 non refundable deposit within 24 hours of the auction end, the balance is due within 7 days of the auction end. Paypal is OK for the deposit, paypal will not be accepted for the balance. The balance must be paid in the form of a bank wire transfer, cashier's check or cash if in person. |

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.
