1967 Plymouth Sport Fury 383 2 Door Hardtop on 2040-cars
United States
1967 Sport Fury III 2 door hardtop 383 727 non-a/c Project Car. I bought it as a project and have tinkered with it a little but have too many other projects and not enough time for them all so somethings got to go. Car was painted some time ago by a previous owner. Looks good but not perfect by any means. The only filler I could find is about a tennis ball size on the drivers side lower rear quarter. There is a few bubbles starting on lower rear quarters. Floors and frames rock solid as the pictures show. The 383 has an edelbrock intake and carb. Was told transmission was rebuilt, seems legit, it's clean and painted black. Starts, runs, drives, shifts and stops good. Front tires are near new, rears are round and hold air but that's about it. Shows 44,XXX miles? Has original shocks on it? Front seats are original and need redone. Rear seat has been reupholstered. Has new headliner installed. All the gauges and interior/exterior lights work. Power steering leaks a bit. Here's a list of what's in the trunk, All the side glass along with the regulators, wing frames and hardware, interior window and garnish mouldings, interior window cranks, arm rests, wiper arms, heater box, heater core, heater controls, and cables, defrost ducts, windshield seal and exterior trim, one reverse light lens and part of the other, seat belts, extra grille, dash pad (needs recovered), box of misc hardware ect... Here's a list of what I know it needs. Windshield, rear bumper, one reverse light lens, carpet, rear headliner sail panels, rear window shelf package tray, trunk seal...... probably more. With that said, it would be an easy project for someone to finish. Car came from out of state where they don't title old cars so it will be sold with a bill of sale. Feel free to ask questions BEFORE YOU BID and GOOD LUCK! The battery will be removed before the car leaves. For obvious reasons it will need trailered. Sold As Is. Check back as I will revise if I think of anything else about the car. |

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
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.
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.
