There is no rust perforation on the sheetmetal with the exception of one small spot at the bottom of the left quarter panel to the rear of the wheel which is identified in pics below; it is inconspicuous and not normally visable unless one looks closely beneath the car. Doors fit and close as new with no sagging and all body gaps are excellent. Floors and trunk like new with original paint.

The anodized aluminum spears on the rear quarter panels are faded. Rubber seals and wind lace are original and excellent. Interior Interior including upholstery is original except carpet.

Seatbelts were re-webbed by Ssnake-Oyl. Drivetrain Engine and transmission are original. The original 3.23 ratio 7-1/4 inch rear was replaced with an A-body 8-3/4 inch rear with sure-grip (also 3.23 ratio, 741 pumpkin). Engine was repainted in the original color with new external gaskets; timing chain replaced with Cloyes double roller but engine has never been opened. Distributor is the original dual point. Carburetor is the original Carter AFB. New synchros/ gaskets/ bearings/ seals were installed in the transmission along with a new McLeod clutch. Car does not leak. Brakes are manual with 10 inch drums (original to car); all brake lines were replaced by Fine Lines reproductions (cosmetic reasons). Radiator is original and has not been recored. Suspension Front end was completely rebuilt with USA Moog components. Torsion bars and springs are factory original. Wheels / Tires Currently installed are 4-inch bolt circle Cragar Super Stock wheels but the original 14-inch steel wheels with mint mag covers/ special chrome lugnuts are also included. 90% tread remaining on radial tires.

There is no code for a radio but car has a factory AM that appears to be an original installation- maybe a dealer add-on? Runs and drives great- accelerates, shifts, handles, and stops great for a car of this vintage and is tight and rattle-free. Car will drive anywhere- everything works properly with the exception of the tach which is inaccurate and the windshield washer. Will drive to transport service if needed. Inspection available by appointment. Checks accepted but all funds must be secured before release with no exceptions.
A runaway shopping cart caused these dings many years ago. Could be fixed inexpensively but elected not to so as not to disturb original paint. They are not really that noticeable.
Scratch on left fender, touch up paint a bit mismatched-
Next 2 pics are bottom of right quarter, there is no perforation, this is road rash & tar with a little surface rust-
Next pic is bottom of left quarter showing some minor rust perforation, this cannot be seen from above. Rest of quarter has no perforation, just some road rash & tar with a little surface rust-
Original spare, not a repro!
Perfect original Inland shifter included, this is an original 1965 A-body unit-

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.
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.
