1931 Plymouth on 2040-cars
Frederick, Maryland, United States
|
If you like attention this 1931 Plymouth 4 door is for you. It is an older complete down to the stripped frame
restoration (1995) that shows well. Interior is excellent. Fuel, Amp and temp gauge work fine. Oil gage is not hooked up and the speedometer cable is not connected. The speedometer does work but the transmission has had an adapter plate made and is coupled to a 1954 overdrive unit. This unit was installed shortly after I purchased the car as the free wheel function was causing driveability problems and I obtained a transmission/overdrive combo so I could drive the car. I no not have the overdrive connected electrically. The original transmission comes with the car and could be sorted out if you want to return the car to original. A longer driveshaft would need to be added as a new shorter one was installed to accommodate the overdrive. I have a new 6 volt alternator installed and will include the original generator which is OK. The Plymouth owners club technical advisor for the 4 cyl engines had several transmission/overdrive combinations made up in 1975 and the machinist who did them did a very nice job. The adapter is nicely machined and is about 1 inch thick. So there you have it. I am purchasing a nice 1985 Mercedes turbo diesel wagon and my wife feels that 7 cars is a bit much so this Plymouth that I drive maybe 8 times a year is the candidate that reared its head. I had new master brake cylinder as well as new cylinders on all four wheels. New brake hoses and axle seals were also installed. Steering is nice and tight and car stops just fine. Caution: these autos were made before Big Macs and Whopper with Cheese were on the menu. The seat is not adjustable and if you wear a size 40 trousers you better not stop for lunch as you wont be able to fit behind the wheel. The back seat will hold a couple of beefy folks tho. I have a lot of reading material that comes with the car. The radiator has been flushed and car does not overheat. If you have any questions all you need to do is ask. |

'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.
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.

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.
