1970 Plymouth Barracuda 340 Six Barrel (six Pack) on 2040-cars
United States
|
For your consideration, a 1970 Plymouth Cuda 340 Six Barrel with a Hurst 4-Speed Pistol Grip. Born a standard 340 Cuda, the previous owner cloned the car into an AAR (and did a very nice job of it too). The engine block matches the cowl, vin, and buildsheet. Fender tag was reproduced by Galen Govier and is not mounted (I haven’t mounted it because it should be painted the same color as the car). Car retains its original paint color Y1 Lemon Twist, with black hounds tooth interior, overhead console, and bucket seats. Body: The paint is less than three years old and is in excellent condition and the bumpers are immaculate. NO RUST WHATSOEVER and to my knowledge, has never been in any kind of accident. The under carriage was sand blasted and undercoated, with new leaf springs and disc brakes, as well as new brake lines and 3/8” fuel lines. The gas tank is new with stainless steel sending unit. It has the AAR stripes and an aftermarket AAR-style fiberglass hood with factory hood pins and rear wing spoiler. The grille is in very nice condition, as well as NOS side marker lights and very nice tail lights. Drivetrain: The engine is fresh with a Mopar 508/292 cam, heavy duty valve springs, and a new Six Pack intake and carbs from Six Pack Performance in Albuquerque. Car is cooled with dual Revcor electric fans, in addition to a standard clutch fan. Ceramic coated headers and T/A style exhaust mandrell bent from 2-1/2” pipe with dynomax muffflers. This car sounds phenomenal! Ignition is a MSD 6AL box and coil. All wiring is new from front to back except for the steering column. The trans is stock and shifts beautifully; 8.75” rear end with 4:11 posi trac. No A/C or power steering. Other: The trunk is superbly detailed with a B.F. Goodrich Space Saver Spare, reproduction inflator bottle & bracket, and freshly restored bumper jack. The wheels were custom made by American Racing in 18” billet with Toyo tires (7” front and 8.5” rear). As a bonus, I’ll throw in a repro parts catalog, repro service manual, feature manual, and wiring diagram (a $200 value). This car has some serious power and is a multiple-show winner! People are absolutely mesmerized by the sight of the six-pack (who can blame them) and the custom wheels really set the car off – very sharp! I get as many compliments on the wheels as I do on the car! I’ve put very few miles on the car since I acquired it (about 500) and it’s never been raced or otherwise abused.Oil & filter and transmission fluid just changed.

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.

'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.
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.
