For sale on ebay is my 1970 Plymouth GTX.  It has recently been completely gone through and is back on the road after over 25 years off the road.  It has 97k miles on the car currently.  I will go through everything that has been done to the car below.  This is the best and most sought after year GTX that was made.  The engine and transmission match the VIN and body numbers.  Car has original fender tag still attached.  This ad is going to be very lengthy so please read  through everything.  Rare opportunity to own a numbers match GTX as they don't pop up for sale very often.  Here is what has been done.

Body/Paint- Car recently was completely stripped to a shell only leaving the dash in.  All glass, suspension and rear end were removed from the car and was the car was completely painted.  The paint is now 3 months old and has been garaged kept and put on a lift to assemble the car back.  Paint looks fantastic (see pics below).  The body is very straight and the car has no rust.  The center trunk was replaced which is typical of these cars.  The underside is a factory undercoat car and is extremely clean.  I will provide some underside pics as well to show how clean everything is.  The car was built with reliability in mind and tons of new parts were put on. 

Exterior- The exterior has new rechromed front and rear bumpers, wheel lip mouldings, front marker lights, black reflective side stripes, go wing spoiler with correct under decklid brackets, windshield, front rubber bumper guards, rear back up lights/lenses, black hood stripe, driver side mirror, all GTX emblems around the car, along with the front grille being replaced with a beautiful original one. 

Under the Hood- The car has its original low mileage 440 HP engine.  The motor was broke down and all gaskets including head gaskets were replaced.  Motor was freshened up and all new engine accessories were replaced.  Has new high volume oil pump that puts out 65-70lbs of oil pressure.  New waterpump, starter, belts, hoses, carburetor, distributor, plugs, wires, waterpump, all sending units along with everything on the firewall.  New washer bottle, pump and squirters.  They work great.  New battery tray with hold down.  New 3 core radiator.  Motor has factory HP manifolds and 4bbl intake.   Motor is completely stock and does not have any aftermarket mods.  Motor runs great and is very smooth. 

Transmission- Original numbers match 727.  Low miles on rebuild and shifts as it should with correct kickdown linkage. 

Driveshaft- Speed balanced with new u joints on both ends.

Rear end- New fluid in the stock 8 3/4 rear end with 3.23 gears.  New leaf spring u bolts.  Rear leafs are the stock heavy duty superstock leaf springs.  They are original to the car.

Interior- All new seat covers, carpet, headliner, dash cap, package tray, dome light lens and trunk mat.  The dash, console, and upper doors all have new woodgrain installed.  Dash looks great.  The dash gauges have been refaced and has a tic toc tach dash.  Has a tuff wheel installed.  Door panels are in very nice shape.  Radio is in excellent condition and does work.  Needs speakers hooked up.  All interior trim is in nice shape. New sill plates holding the carpet down.

Wheels/Tires- Stock 15x7  steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps on Goodyear white letter tires. 

Suspension-  All new front suspension that has been bead blasted and painted.  All new ball joints, upper and lower bushings, sway bar bushings and links along with new front and rear shocks.  Inner and outer tie rods along with the adjusting sleeves and the idler arm have also been replaced.  Car will need aligned as I haven't done that yet and the ride height needs raised a little.  Its low in the front as I was just going to let the alignment guy adjust everything at the shop.  If its a big deal I can try to get done but my time is limited right now.  Being so low in the front puts pressure on the suspension and steering. 

Brakes- All new brakes.  This includes, new shoes all the way around, new wheel cylinders, hardware, master cylinder, master cylinder lines, front to rear brake line, new rubber hoses in front and rear and park brake adjusted correctly.

Electrical- New rear tail lamp harness and engine harness.  Stock dash wiring. Has lots of new electrical components, including starter relay, headlight dimmer, light bulbs throughout, headlights, new wiper motor installed as well. Lights, turn signals, stop lights all work.

Fuel system- Gas tank is like new, has new sending unit, ground strap, fuel filler, fuel filler grommet, fuel line from gas tank to fuel pump, new fuel pump, new hose and filter along with a new carburetor. 

 

As you can see a lot has been done to the car.  The car runs/drives good and everything has about 20 miles on it as of now.  Needs someone to drive the car and put some miles on the car.  The car sat since 1987 and so its been a long time since the car has been driven any significant miles.  The car looks amazing and turns heads.  I've always wanted a 1970 GTX but life changes has got me out of the hobby.  Ive owned the car since about 2002.  All the work has been done to the car in the past 6 months so everything is fresh.  Look around and try to find another with this much done to it, that is also obtainable to purchase.  NADA guides list this car at 40k+ in average retail condition.  The car will sell for much less than that and is much better than "average".  Most of the GTX's Ive followed are either non numbers cars or incomplete or have had a lot of mods done to the drivetrain.  This is a mostly stock , original type car.  Thanks for reading through everything.  Now for Terms of the auction:

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.

'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.
