1962 Max Wedge Tribute!!!

This is the first time this Beautiful vehicle has been offered for sale. She is COMPLETELY Restored as a Tribute to the amazing MAX WEDGE of her era!! This beautiful example of history is as raced condition with period correct upgrades.

At the time the gentleman that built this car worked for Mosher Muscle Motors. You can go to Moshermusclemotors.com for a more comprehensive detail of the build with pictures.

In April 2008 she was been featured in Mopar Collectors Guide. Her honors are "Best of Show" winner at Woodly Park's annual Spring Fling 2009, and "Award of Distinction"for B-body Stock at Woodley Park in 2010.

In 2011 She was featured on American Icon TV show with Chip Foose.

To be clear this beauty is as much a trailer show car as well as a show and drive. The best part of owning her is she can be driven. Better than taking the chance with the real deal.

Actual miles are un known. The speedometer is currently not working. Have not looked for the problem. The miles (3000) are a high estimate.

Engine: Correct period 440 Wedge bored .60 over. TRW 10.5 forged pistons. LY rods with ARP bolts. Steel 10/10 crank balanced and bluprinted. Early style 4 bolt valve cover heads with correct valve covers. Closed chamber with 3 angle valve job. She has a Hughes .488 lift cam with flat tappets. Original Cross Ram manifold with 3447 clone carbs. Has correct air filter and linkages. Fender well headers by Doug Thorly. Has exhaust all the way back but still uncorkable. Also has a complete MSD ignition with tunable curve (Much better than stock). All Accessories work properly.

Trans: She has a 727 Torqueflite Push Button transmission. All fresh with a 2500 stall converter.  Automatic shifts smoothly as it should.

Rearend: She sports an 8 3/4 with a 355 Sure Grip. Again, all completely gone through.

Tires and Wheels: Period correct Slicks with DOT casings on rear. The fronts are Firestone Bias Ply like original on 16" wheels.

Exterior: The body was painstakenly massaged to be all steel. She was completely dissassembled, Media Blasted, and assembled from the ground up. The Black paint lays like liquid on her body.

Interior: The beautiful red interior is the correct SMS pattern fabric. This was professionally done.

Electrical: The wiring is new and fresh from front to rear. Always the best way to go in eliminating any potential connectivity issues.

Underside: The underside is like new as it was a rotisserie build. She has sub frame connectors that are so well installed it looks like that is the way she came from the factory.

Talk about detail. As you look over her from top to bottom there are many paint dabs and markings to simulate the real deal from the factory.

We reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Clean and clear title in hand.

This is a WORLDWIDE auction style listing. The vehicle is located in Southern California near the internationsl shipping capital of the US. Seller is more than happy to assist with getting her to the location for shipment. The shipping arrangements and cost are the responsibility of the buyer.

The reserve is set very reasonably. Please do not inquire as to be fair to all involved.

I am listing this for a close friend of mine. Please call (NO TEXTING) Frank between the hours of 9:00 am - 5:00 pm PST at (562) 714-4001. He will be more than happy answer any questions or to show the car by apppointment.

Watch My listings as there will be more 70-71 Cuda Parts coming weekly.

Ask to bid if you have less than 10 positive feedbacks. Been burned too many times in the past. I will cancel bids with less than 10 positive feedbacks if you do not ask before bidding!

AGAIN, shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. There are many transport companies out there.

$500 deposit via Paypal is due within 3 days of end of the auction. Remainder due within 7 days via Cash in person, Wire Transfer, Cashiers Check or Money Order.

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.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before 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 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.
