I HAD THE OIL, FILTERS(oil, gas & air) REPLACED IN THE FALL BEFORE I FILLED IT WITH PREM GAS, LEAD SUBSTITUTE AND LOTS OF STABIL. DROVE IT A SHORT TIME AND PUT HER TO SLEEP UNTIL A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. JUST FYI. Just came back from the in-laws and decided to take " The Prince "(Valiant)" out for a Sunday drive. And Oh my Gosh! Fired right up, put her in gear with the 1st for 65, a floor mounted, Torque-Flite Automatic shifter and away we went for a 15 mile jaunt! The car performed flawlessly as we passed thumb after thumbs up and honk after honk! High praise indeed. With 7 more months to enjoy a top down drive here on L.I. , I'm not sure I want to sell it! ;-)
HEY ALL! Just came back from my old mechanic and had him replace the old starter with a new/rebuilt one because yesterday when I was there for him to fix an interior light(I didn't want to break anything with my luck) and after he replaced it, the starter "ching-ching-chinged" when I turned the key. It then started right up. He said it's fine, but I didn't want anyone buying MY car saying I didn't fix ANY problem that arose. It was $100.oo well spent for peace of mind. So bid with confidence beacuse EVERYTHING works and works well on this ride!!! |

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.
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.
