For your consideration is this beatiful road ready Duster for your local cruise or shows. The A body Chrysler cars represent a balanced car, second to none, with there light weight design and uncompromising suspension geometry. This car was was taken off the hands from its original owner who was always going to "restore it". I actually left it titled in its first assignment dated in 1975...I never purchased one of my classic cars from the original owner and thought that was kind of neat and will let the next owner decide on titling options. This is a original 318 - 3 spd. manual floor shift car. It has a 2.94 rear differential ratio that is very fast off the stop lights because of its low 1st speed transmission gearing, and can cruise 75 down the Hi-way all day long, which is the best of both worlds in that respect. This car is very quick, stress free and enjoyable to drive around in. The high impact paint is a quality base/clear paint that should be enjoyed for years to come thanks to modern materials and rust prevention that exceeds 1975 manufacture. Graphics are new items I had around the shop...the Devil made me put the demons on the car and I have the rather bland Duster emblems. This car does not represent a over restored example. It was however completely taken apart and then put back together with original hardware and as such contains some 70's era and aging affects. The car needs nothing to be driven and enjoyed now. Bringing a trailer is optional as I would not hesitate to drive the car anywhere with the tunes blasting and a big grin ear to ear. If you have question please ask, and have your money arranged prior to bid....no exceptions.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

The 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 2012

Before 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 2014

The 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.
