1974 Plymouth Satellite, Roadrunner, Gtx on 2040-cars
Wirtz, Virginia, United States
|
This is a 1974 Plymouth. I believe it is a Satellite from the vin code, however a previous owner has rebadged it as a GTX. I bought the car for a project about a year ago. The previous owner told me that it used to have a 440 in it, but there was no engine/transmission that came with the car. I purchased a low mileage 440 and transmission that came from an RV and it goes with the car. The body is relatively straight with one dent near the hood release (see photo). There is rust in the rear quarters and the driver's front floor board is rusted from an apparent leaking windshield. There is some rust spots near the bottom of the back windshield, but it has not rusted thru. The rest of the floor pans look good, as does the trunk pan. The grill is in the trunk of the car, along with a driveshaft, new dash pad, and other parts. It does have dual exhaust all the way back. The front seat is not bolted in and there is no headliner. The speedometer is labeled "certified" and the previous owner told me that the car started life in police service in NC. I have not heard the engine run, as it was already out of the RV before I bought it. However it does turn over freely. It does have a Holley 4bbl, and comes with the pulleys, alternator, and starter. I pulled the timing chain cover to look inside the motor and see that it has a double roller chain, and a windage tray. The transmission has a truck-style tail shaft that should be replaced with the tail shaft from a car (so the splined drive shaft will slide into it). I have the title signed by the previous owner, and have not registered the car in my name. The DMV incorrectly keyed two digits of the vin number on the title. They placed a 'O' in the spot that denotes the engine size and in the spot denoting the assembly plant. I don't think this is a big deal, but I want to be up front with anyone interested. I don't have the time or money to fix this car, and I don't want to tear into it only to come up short on funds and have an unfinished project taking up space in my shop. It is a good platform for building a muscle car or even a street/strip car. This car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to cancel the auction if it sells. If you would like more information or pictures, please contact me. Persons with less than 5 positive feedbacks need to contact me before bidding, or I will cancel those bids. Thanks for looking.

'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.
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.
