1941 Plymouth Barn Find on 2040-cars
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. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1940-Plymouth-P9-P10-NOS-MoPar-RADIATOR-Tanks-Core-Chryco-/140907430191?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20cebcc12f&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/271500517323?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Thanks, Ted |

'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.
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.
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.
