1969 Plymouth RoadRunner hardtop, black with saddle tan interior (color change from Bronze Fire Metallic T-5).  426 cc engine, 4 speed and Dana 60 rear end.  I have owned the car since 2003.  It was drag raced by two former owners and placed second in class at the 1993 National Muscle Car Association's FlowMaster Challenge held in Memphis, TN.  At that time, the car ran an ET of 12.7 seconds.  Although not documented, I was told the car has run ET's into the elevens.  The car does retain its original engine and rear end.  The rear end gear has been changed from 3:54 to 4:10.  The A-833 transmission is a 1969 hemi roadrunner transmission with an earlier VIN stamping.  The engine and transmission have been rebuilt - engine in September, 2004, the transmission in 2008, the Carter carburetors were completely restored  by Holley in 2005 and the body was disassembled and repainted in 2007 with PPG single stage.  


Because of its drag racing heritage, the following upgrades are still in place - 12 to 1 Venolia pistons, more aggressive cam, Mopar electronic ignition, Holley electric fuel pump and period correct vintage Sun Supertach model #SST-802.  

The car has been featured in Mopar Collectors Guide 1992, appeared in Muscle Car Review 1994 and Mopar Action 2008.  The car sold new at Barrish Chrysler Plymouth in Los Angeles, CA in May 1969.  Current mileage is 70,919.  The cooling system is filled with Evans Waterless Coolant.  The engine is serviced with 10W40 full synthetic with ZDD+ zinc additive.  Although I have used a lead additive in premium unleaded gas, it runs much better on 100 octane or greater leaded fuel.

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.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
