1968 Plymouth Barracuda, Sunday Cruiser on 2040-cars
Springfield, Illinois, United States
|
Sell or Trade my 1968 Plymouth Barracuda (fast back). Recently acquired on a trade. Im not much of a mopar man, but I know what it is and what it can and could be worth as well. The previous owner was 70yrs old. I have paperwork from the previous owner of things done to it. Not everything done is documented however. The car's Vin number matches that it is a 1968, 318, and body type and where it was built. However I am unsure whether or not the 318 is original or one from another year, as I have not looked that hard. This is a Sunday cruiser, not really a show car by my standards, but it does look good at a show. Wouldn't take much more elbow grease and a little funding to really make this toy shine. Now the stuff you want to know: The Car is being sold locally as well, So I can cancel the auction at anytime if sold locally. There is no warranty with the car. I am NOT an "ASE certified mechanic", I am NOT a "dealership." So I listed the car to the best of my abilities and description. I will do whatever I can to answer all questions promptly and to the best of my ability. So if you have questions please ask. So thanks for looking and happy bidding! You wont be disappointed! On Jul-14-14 at 20:08:31 PDT, seller added the following information: Question: does it have the 8 3/4 rear end or the smaller? if you dont know the difference, when you look under the car from the back end.... and 8 3/4 will have a smooth round back,,,, any other will have a diff cover with bolts that can be taken out...8 3.4 does not. let me know please. thanks Answer: Yes it is a smooth rear end. according to your description of the rear ends, it is an 8 3/4. |

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.
'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.
