1970 Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe 5.6l on 2040-cars
Barrington, Illinois, United States
|
1970 Plymouth Barracuda Gran Sport Coup Original high impact color Sublime (Limelight) Green with Houndstooth Interior Originally a 318 car now a 340. All solid sheet metal with one repaint in 198192,000 miles on it believed to be the true mileage. The car was an air conditioned car at birth with rare Limelight Green with power steering and brakes. The car has all original body panels except for drivers side floor pan that was replaced in 1981 with a factory OEM part. Car is super straight and all body panels lineup nicely. There was no rust when repainted in 1981 so it’s not a bondo beast. Car has never been in an accident to my knowledge and I am the 5th owner. There are a few chips, nicks and scratches to be expected out of a 1981 repaint. I do have paint made for it in a spray can and touchup can I will include. 340 Hockey stripe was added. I purchased this car to turn it into a pro touring car with my son, but he passed away. I have many cars so am not hurting to sell it, but just don’t have a reason to hang on to it any longer for what we were going to do to it together. Make a fair offer and I will consider it. It’s a great driver or show the way it sits and gets allot of attention. Many new parts, the whole drive train was done by the 2nd owner in 1981 at 70K miles and has since been garage kept by previous owner I am told. The 318 was replaced with a period correct 340 with a mild cam bored 30 over with 4 bbl intake and nickel plated Holly 750. I have been told car dynoed at 375HP the trans was rebuild with 727 with a shift kit and 2400 stahl speed converter. Rear end is 8 3/4 with 411 gears. Got a new vinyl top, speaker package tray and headliner 4 years ago, all look new. It has drums on the front but I have all new disc brake set up in boxes ready to install. The A/C is removed but all ducts and vents are in place, another reason I bought the car. There is a crack on the dash pad by the speaker cover. New steering box, front and rear sway bars, complete exhaust, motor and tranny mounts and much more. Starts and runs without pumping the gas. New legendary seat covers installed as well as carpet and sill plates. Council with slapstick, wood grain gauge cluster, overhead council, trunk light works, red inserts on door panels remember it’s a Gran Cuda. Tires have barely been driven on. It would be easy to make this one perfect because it is all there and you’re not starting with a mess, been there done that. No more rusted out shells for me. Not looking for trades unless 68-70 Charger, low ballers please don’t waste both our time. Low reserve set. |

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.

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.
