This GTX currently has a good running 400 engine (original 440 engine is long gone) and an automatic transmission. I have driven this car around the block and to the gas station, but would need to be gone thru with some TLC to make it a daily driver to pass local inspection. The headers have a leaky gasket, the parking lights, tail lights and rear blinkers do not work. The headlights, front blinkers, high beams and low beams work as they should. Radio still works too! Interior gauge lights do not work, nor does the fan blower switch. The power windows works smoothly, with the exception of the drivers door window. Do not know if the A/C works, altho everything for it is there and hooked up. Engine smokes upon initial start up in the morning, but clears as it warms up. Car has a newer dual exhaust and mufflers with a nice tone, and also has two newer rear tires.
Having come from Alabama many years ago, this GTX is structurally solid underneath with good frame rails, torque boxes, crossmembers and rockers. The floors are in great shape, having only minor isolated spots of deterioration. The trunk floor is still intact and strong, having some pitted surface rust and thin areas of pinholes. The weatherstrip channels in the rear corners are rusty, as shown in the photographs. The quarter panels have been patched around the wheel wells some time ago, and would need to be redone. The doors are solid throughout, having only dents. The LH front fender would require a lower patch panel. The RH fender has been replaced with a solid original one years ago. The roof has a shallow dent that looks like it should pop out from the inside. The hood is in good shape & the trunk lid has rust along the inside lip.
The interior is complete and in fair condition. The front bucket seats are ripped and the carpet is faded. The rear seat and side panels are in good shape. The headliner is ripped and the dashpad has cracks. The door panels and center console are in good condition.
So to sum it all up, you are bidding on a mostly complete running, driving and stopping Road Runner with the rare GTX option package that I would consider a project car that you can drive, once a little TLC was applied. I would say the only items that are missing are the LH rocker trim, jack, spare tire, exhaust tips and rear defroster motor. The car has all of it's matching rallye wheels with center caps and trim rings. This is a great car with some great options that is worthy of a restoration for someone's collection!
I have a clear transferable Pennsylvania title in my name. This auction is open to over seas bidders as well. A deposit of $500 is due within 48 hours of the auctions end, payable thru PayPal.

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.
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.
