Up for sale is this 1957 Plymouth Belvedere 2 door hardtop.
From what I can tell the car was originally optioned as followed:
This car has been parked since the early 80s judging by the last sticker on the plate. The car does have both of her California black plates. Tires are just rollers. Has four original full wheel covers. The car's body is pretty solid. The paint has got it's "California Suntan" or "Patina" as others like to say. The passenger side quarter and rocker panel needs repair. The passenger side stone guard is in the trunk. The floors seem solid but the passenger front pan is weak. The trunk floor is solid but has some issues towards the rear of the car. (Note the photos.) The glass is intact and in good shape. The gaskets need attention. Car has all four bumper wings in nice shape. All the sportone stainless is there. As you can see the interior is pretty well worn out. The seat covers are pretty well gone. The door panels are there but have water damage. Card headliner has fallen in. The passenger side section is still intact and probably could be saved. Sun visors are in surprisingly good shape. There's another set in the trunk as well. An underdash A/C unit installed at some point. Everything is present except for a compressor and brackets. The keys are in the ignition. The engine is partially disassembled. A 2bbl intake will be included as well as a Torqueflite transmission, but are sold as buildable cores. Obviously you can't drive this car. It is a sure bet the brakes will need attention as well. The driveshaft, generator, radiator, etc. is in the trunk. (Again see the photos) This car is just like the 1957 Belvedere dug up in 2007 in Tulsa, OK. It fared much better sitting outside than in a time capsule. The car could be left as is and fixed up enough to be driven in this "ratty" condition or restored to her former glory. This would also make a good base for a Christine car. Most of the hard to find parts are there. If you know anything about 1957-1958 Plymouths then you know the value of the bumper wings, deluxe wheel, sportone, etc. The car does need a lot of work but she is a very desirable model. Maybe you want to walk around in a back brace and tell stories about the car? Maybe you want to drive around with the radio on and not a care in the world? Maybe you just want to park the car in your front yard and gaze upon this finned wonder everyday? Maybe you want to be the envy of all your neighbors? This car could do any of those and much more! You are the decider! Clear California title. Please review the description and all the photos. Then ask any questions. |

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.
'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.
