1941 Plymouth Barn Find on 2040-cars

US $6,000.00
Year:1941 Mileage:57000 Color: stainless and trim is all there
Location:

Salem, Oregon, United States

Salem, Oregon, United States

This is an all original rust free 1941 Plymouth Deluxe 4 door, with cool suicide doors. It originally came from Kansas, and I was told the dealer who sold it new bought it back from the original owner, and kept it in his personal collection for some time. It has perfect patina to drive as-is, restore, or make a custom by installing later model running gear. Notice how it has all five of the original wheels with the factory pin striping. The exterior stainless and trim is all there, and in excellent shape.

The engine was out of the car when I received it, and it is believed to be the original one. There were a few externals missing, so I purchased the second one in the picture. It was described as having been rebuilt many years ago, then taken out of a car and stored on an engine stand inside for over ten years. Between the two you could make one good engine for the car. The transmission and driveline are in the engine picture, the only two things I see missing are the bell housing and the radiator.

The car has only 57,000 original miles. The interior is in great shape for it's age, being all original. The seat covers can be pulled back, and the upholstery looks to be all in great shape. If you restitch the right front cover where you can see it is separated, these covers are still in great shape, and could continue to be used. They are durable and period correct for the car.

You can see in the pictures that there is no cancer anywhere in the car. There is surface rust in the trunk floor, but the floor and spare tire well are solid. The only dings are in the left rear quarter panel down low, as shown in the photo. I included pictures on the driver's floorboard taken from underneath, under the running board, and one showing inside the front fender well. These photos show how solid the car is. One photo shows a small seam separation on the bottom edge of the trunk lid, only noticeable when you open the trunk.

The car has a clear title thru the State of Washington. I am willing to ship the car and assist in loading, with you the buyer making the arrangements and paying for it. This vehicle is offered for sale as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. If someone does not want the engine parts, I can dispose of them here to save you a shipping hassle.

Also, I can store the car for a short time after the sale, but that needs to be agreed upon before the end of the sale.

The car is located in Salem, Oregon, and you are welcome to inspect it in person, or have a friend do so for you. Feel free to call or email if you have any questions, or in case I missed something you need clarified. I can be reached Pacific Standard Time at 503-551-8189.

Added June 3rd:  

   To the gentleman who inquired about the radiator and bell housing. Below are a few links for the radiator, both original style and aftermarket. The bell housing can be obtained used for less than $50.00 US. Please contact me for further questions or to proceed.

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.

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.

'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.
