Humphrey, Nebraska, United States
(THE ONE PIC IS NOT THE ACTUAL CAR THIS WAS MY PLANS WITH IT BUT PLANS HAVE CHANGED)Here is a very solid # matching 1970 Plymouth duster. Has a 318, 904 tranny with 81/4 rear end with 100,400 actual miles. Has disc brakes up front. A/C works great. A/M radio works.Runs and drives great. It is still wearing its original sheet metal. Had one repaint before I got it. It is a 20 footer paint job. (looks good at 20 feet) The cars interior is in good shape. Has a cracked dash pad and some cracks on the head rests. Has one tear in the headliner. Front and rear seats are in great shape. The body is in great shape no rust in the floors or frame rails. Only surface rust in the trunk with no holes. The sheet metal on car has no bondo nothing to hide. It is just starting to bubble just behind the rear tires on lower rear quarters on both sides as seen in pics.(easy fix). No work has been done to them. Has a small rust hole on the drivers rear quarter just in front of the rear tire as seen in pic. again very easy fix that is the only rust in the entire car. Car is really solid for its age. Make your 340 clone or leave it original. Here's a list of things I've done to it since I owned it: Took engine out and replaced all gaskets and seals in it. repainted engine New oil pump installed since I had the pan off New fuel pump New fuel tank sending unit New A/C dash switch New heater core New power steering sector seals New cap and rotter New belts New body decals The only thing that will need to be replaced is the power steering pump shaft seal. It just started leaking. I have the seal that will go with it. If I get to it I will change it. |

'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.
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.
