1964 Plymouth Barracuda 360 V8 Push Button Automatic Pro Touring Project on 2040-cars
Springville, New York, United States
|
Picked this car up to build a pro touring project last October. I'm selling the car to start a college fun for the most important girl in my life.
The car was stored from 1974 thru 2012 so there is no rot on the car that I could find. The hood was replaced because someone buckled the original one. There is a dent in the trunk lid but no rot. The passenger door has a good dent in it too, but I have a replacement from New Mexico that is included. The paint is at least 40 years old and it shows it. There are scratches, scuffs, cracks, and some peeling. The interior could use recovering, but it is perfectly fine for a driver car. Chrome is driver quality. I planned on going satin with all of the bright work so I didn't replace the chrome. Installed the following parts new or reconditioned: 2.5" Exhaust Used Doug's Headers 1.06" Torsion bars from Firm Feel Inc. Front Shocks Poly Lower Control Arm bushings Poly Strut Rod Bushings Front Disk Brakes Big Bolt Pattern (5x4.5") from 74+ Dart Dual Reservoir Brakes with Adjustable Proportioning Valve '05 Mustang Bullitt Wheels (rear end uses BBP adapters) Federal Super Steel Directional Summer Performance Tires Mopar Performance Super Stock Rear Springs 71 Chrysler Imperial Rear Shocks Rebuilt Edelbrock 1406 4 Barrel Carburetor Champion 3 core full aluminum radiator Jaguar fan clutch (to clear radiator) Parts that are included with the car: Front and Rear Sway Bars and most of the mounting hardware (need front brackets and LCA Tabs) Edelbrock Performer 4 Barrel Aluminum Intake (used) Mercury Mountaineer 8.8 Rear Axle (3.73 gears, limited slip, rear disk brakes) T5 World Class Transmission (disassembled in a bin, no bell housing, GM style trans) The Good: V8 Automatic fast car Body is rock solid, no rot. Glass is all good Car is complete Most of the suspension work is all finished for an old school pro touring build New Brakes and tires all around Includes all original parts that were removed Car Runs and Drives NYS inspected until March 2015 Car has the nice early 60's Fast Back look Early Barracudas haven't taken off yet so get in while the price is still low! The Bad: Heater core and box needs replaced (have replacements just have not installed, might be installed by auction's end) Paint needs to be redone Trunk lid has a dent in it (should be able to be pulled) Has a bent strut rod end, does not effect drive-ability, can get another but adjustable ones would be better. Car could use an alignment, ride height was changed and most of the suspension was updated Horn stopped working, wired in a push button, no holes drilled Fuel gauge does not work Has a small leak from the transmission cable kick down linkage could use adjustment Feel free to contact me if you are local and want to look the car over and go for a test spin, I have been as honest as I can be with the car's description. If you have more questions feel free to contact me. Have a clean transferable registration (NY standard for older vehicles) and as far as I know it has never been totaled. VIN tag is pictured, have not decoded it. |

'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.
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.
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.
