   We have for sale a real 1962 413 Max Wedge Plymouth Sport Fury convertible.  Chances are you have never seen one as there were only 13 ever produced, and this is one of only two left known to exist.  This is also the only one of the 13 to be produced with a factory black top, all the rest had white.  Yes, yes there is a white top on it now, however I assure you, this is a black top car.  This very car is documented, and authenticity can be verified in the books, "The Complete Guide to the 1962 Plymouth Super Stock Package" by Darrell Davis and "Authenticity Guide 1962-1964 Dodge and Plymouth Maximum Performance" by Jim Schild.

   This car has not traveled far as it was purchased new right here in Fort Wayne Indiana at Pointsette Chrysler Plymouth. The car was raced for the first years of its life until the owner pulled the 413 out and installed it in his oval track car, he replaced it with a 383 in the spring of 1966. Between the years 1966 and 1986, the car changed hands a few times.  In 1986, it was purchased by its current owner for parts.  He really paid no attention under the hood as he just bought it for parts, and drove the car into a barn for storage until he needed it. In 2005, he brought the car home.  Once he brought it home, he really began to look at the car, and it did not take him long to determine this was not your everyday Sport Fury.  The "0" under the "A" on the fender tag, cut outs under the hood, the looped  line out of the master cylinder and, wire harness down right front fender, this was a Max Wedge car! He began to ask around town and was able to find out the history of the car.

   Now the condition of the car. As you can see she is not quite ready to be judged at Chrysler at Carlisle, she will need a full restoration. Yes, the Max Wedge is gone, remember they did not number these engines back then, so theoretically any correct dated coded 413 block will be correct for the car.  Not sure if the transmission is original or not, but does have the original speed adapter.  We are fairly sure the rearend is the original 3:91 rearend. It will need fenders, quarters, floor, trunk pans, top and interior. Now for some good news.  The car comes with a pair of great fenders, a extra set of doors, front and rear valance and complete right rear quarter.  He is also throwing in extra sets of tail lights, misc.trim plus other misc. parts.

   I highly suggest you look at the car in person.  I understand if you live in Las Vegas this may not be feasible, and we will do our very best to give you the most honest and accurate description we can. If you need more pictures, please contact me through Ebay.  Please let me know what else you would like to see.  Before anyone asks, no we can not get the car to a lift.

   I do not own this car, I am selling it for a dear friend.  Please direct all questions or possible buy it now offers his way.  Please call Mike at 260-432-3124.

   Now for the official stuff.  There is no warranty with this car. This car is sold as is. Please realize once you buy this car it is yours, there are no refunds, give backs, store credit, ect. A non refundable deposit of $1000.00 is due with 72 hours after the end of the auction.  The balance is due within 5 days after the end of the auction. I prefer bank wire transfer, cash works as well as a check.  Please notice if paying by any type of check, bank or personal, the car will not move until the check clears.

   Thank you, and happy bidding.

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.

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.

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.
