1973 Plymouth Duster 340 Sunroof 4 Speed on 2040-cars
Mandeville, Louisiana, United States
|
This is a 1973 Plymouth Duster 340 4 speed car. It is not matching numbers. It currently has a 340 in and I put the 4 speed in a few years ago. I bought it with an automatic but had the 4 speed pedals still in the car. I just had the car rewired with Ron Francis wiring kit. Holley Street Avenger and old school Strip Dominator on the car now. Brand new Powermaster alternator(no ameter any more).Engine has Mopar valve cover and air cleaner. I do have 73 intake and exhaust manifolds, valve covers and air cleaner that can be purchased separately. The car runs and drives very well. Stout motor. All work to motor was done prior to my purchase so I do not know about internals(definitely not stock). Runs cold in traffic. Speedometer recently started making a ton of noise and bounces. New cable so probably just needs new speedometer. All gauges are working except fuel. Think sending unit is bad because everything else in the wiring is new. Interior is in excellent shape. Car had a ton of options from the factory i.e. power antennae, remote trunk release, sunroof, spacesaver fold down seat, map light, etc. They are in car but not hooked up. I believe the original color to be a medium blue metallic. Appears might be a B3 color but not positive. No build sheet or fender tag. Last two owners were not helpful in tracking down the tag.
I have tons of money in this car and I am taking a bath on it. It is a 20 footer on the paint. Has some rust bubbles on quarters and few other places. Was a Ziebart undercoated car which probably saved it from being worse. Best of luck! If the car does not sell, I will be bringing it to the New Orleans Mopar Show next month. |

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.
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.
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.
