Sorry for duplicating the above information, I was trying to add some additional information and accidentally added the existing info.   Apparently there is no way to reverse this and this does not change the listing.   Thanks for looking.


On Jan-26-14 at 10:08:38 PST, seller added the following information:

Hi, to answer an email question, yes, because of the high compression pistons in this car,  I would recommend adding 1-2 cans of Octane Booster to each tank of 92 Octane street fuel when you fill up.   You can get it at any auto parts store and it will prevent engine knocking under full throttle situations.     If you put 108 octane fuel in this car, it runs like a rocket and will likely defeat any comparable Hemi car on the street.   Thanks for looking !


On Jan-26-14 at 10:42:56 PST, seller added the following information:

Hear it running!      Watch a video of the car idling.    link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO6aWTnAUvw&feature=youtu.be


On Jan-26-14 at 10:47:36 PST, seller added the following information:

Hear it run!!    Sorry, the video link may not be working.   If not, go to YouTube, and in the search box type "1969 Plymouth GTX mocus1" and it will be the first video at the top.   Thanks for looking !


On Jan-26-14 at 11:09:31 PST, seller added the following information:

Hi, to answer another email question, the car has a dual-point distributor, and a Dana 60 Sure-Grip rear differential with 3.54 gears


On Jan-26-14 at 14:08:37 PST, seller added the following information:

Hi, a few emails have asked about the fender tag and the broadcast sheet.   I have the original fender tag, and I will include it, however it was damaged when someone previously tried to clean or restore it, and it has some holes in it, likely chemical damage.    You may want to have a reproduction made, and all the codes on the tag are on the window sticker and listed in the description.    I do not have a broadcast sheet.    The original color was Silver (code A4), I'm not sure if it was this more platinum silver that you see now.   Some people have said the interior blue trim is "unusual" for the exterior color.   Again, I am not representing the car as a perfect, numbers matching example, but you won't have to pay $40-50k like you would for such a car.   Hope this helps.  Thanks !


On Jan-26-14 at 21:20:34 PST, seller added the following information:

Hi, the car has power steering but not power brakes.   All the lights and turn signals work, the factory tachometer does not work but Year One probably has a replacement for that.    The back up lights work, but the dash lights are a bit dim and they have a thumbwheel brightness adjustment.   There is a yellow "Reverse" light on the dash to remind you that you are in reverse.    There is a pull out vent tab called "Carb Air" to open and close the Air Grabber.    


On Jan-27-14 at 10:11:54 PST, seller added the following information:

The interior carpeting is black and there are no rips or tears of any kind on the white vinyl seats.

'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]

Mon, 16 Jun 2014


We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The 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.

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.
