1968 Plymouth Barracuda on 2040-cars
Oakridge, Oregon, United States
|
I am selling my 68' Barracuda, which has been in the family since new. I have been in position of the car since 2003, and at that time I installed Kelsey / Hayes 4-piston caliper disc brakes, new front end with poly bushings, and 71 Duster buckets along with the 5 slot mags. The car was a daily driver from new (short distances, grandmother owned) and has been responsibly stored since. It is 318 2bbl car, with an automatic. It runs and drives perfect, and stops better than my 00' Jetta. It is in fair / daily driver condition overall, and would be a perfect candidate for any kind of owner, whether you want a survivor, or a drag car or a stock restoration, or even a resto-mod, this is the car! It comes with a brand new carpet kit and insulation, a new in the box MSD distributor, and a well-used Edelbrock performer manifold. It needs a little body work to be ready to be painted, and is currently covered in flat black 'Zero Rust', so it looks good from 20' at a cruize, and to protect it in storage.
Disclosures: It has 2 small rust spots, one on the pass side lower, and the other on the pass side rear roll-pan corner. There is NO rust in the back window area, and it even has the trim intact! The interior needs door panels, the new carpet installed, and the front seats to be recovered professionally (they have auto parts store covers now), but the dash pad is perfect, and the headliner has one small puncture hole. I am asking $8500, o.b.o |

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.
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.
