Bought locally by me in 2010. Original owner worked in the Chrysler factory where this was produced (Newark, DE). Starting in 2010 I completely rebuilt this vehicle, finishing it in 2012. It has everything new including a completly rebuilt, original 383 bored .030 over with a mild cam. Switched from 2-bbl to 4-bbl carb. The engine compartment was repainted the original body color (which is what the factory did) while everything was out. Has OEM looking battery that is brand-new. All new suspension parts front & rear including new leaf-springs, shocks, etc. Interior looks original with beautiful dash, new carpet. Heater box removed and rebuilt. New seat covers in front - back looks original but in excellent condition. Original radio sent to California where it was upgraded to solid-state and has Ipod input connections. New electrical harness including wiring block on firewall. Fuel tank dropped and refurbished. New sending unit, fuel lines and brake lines. Rear rebuilt. Transmission rebuilt by professional mopar race mechanic. Headliner in good shape. I have hundreds of photos of the complete rebuild process. I was scarred away from a professional repaint but there is virtually no rust to comment on. Probably has one repaint from many years ago but you can tell this car is solid and painting it may have caused folks to question what I was covering up. I love the car but my challenge was the mechanical rebuild and now it's time to move on. This is a great car for anyone just wanting a fun car to drive to shows or someone wanting to take it to the next show-quality level with a re-paint and chrome job.

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.

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.
