The machine info: Doors close flush with no drops or kinking. No rust on bottoms or sills. Body panels are even/flush (it is a "driver" paint work; done about 5 years ago). *3 owners (call or ebay contact for histories). 383 originally; now 1971 440c.i. with *20,000* documented miles on rebuild ( rebuilt in the period of second ownership-1984 to 1999) . This is a fast machine & was never used in racing. The second owner ( I have his name & number) did do one trial 1/4 mile speed time trial test on the newly rebuilt motor (*after proper rebuild break-in procedure). It did 14 seconds (would have been faster but would need a high output electric fuel pump or long stroke mechanical fuel pump). The 440 does not run cam "choppy"; has a nice smooth power feel. Solid floors, doors, inner rockers, inner quarters, inner wheel wells, frame, etc.; original trunk surrounds with solid weld-in center (can email pictures); bubbling outer rockers/quarters, but all factory seams, wheel well partitions, upper splash panel areas including both sides junctions to trunk connections, etc. are solid. The front fender wheel wells are also solid factory splash areas where joining the rockers. The passenger front floor may have had a decent job factory pattern replacement panel (can email pictures or possibly by phone). Has a scratch on passenger side front fender forward of the roadrunner decal (see picture). Excellent original, slightly factory tinted glass (other than the small upper passenger side windshield "BB"spot & crack-see picture). It does have bondo/bubbling in lower areas & here/there (see pictures). 1969 was a long time ago, therefore giving you some repair skill building clean up opportunity :). Not bad for an old pedal to the metal rendition. Rare: buckets, center console auto, A/C, deluxe stereo, deluxe interior lights. Factory Options: A/C, PS, PB, P top ( **with excellent condition GLASS rear window )(A/C parts are all present, but not working); Factory **front disc brakes*. All NEW seats recovered. Top material in great shape (no holes); has a perfect rear glass window with a new top lift cylinder now installed, no leaks, & working great. NEW: side markers, door panels, door arm rests & backing plates; lift cylinder as mentioned, upholstery as mentioned. This is almost a "ready" driver with some brake work to be checked (rear drum brakes on one side stick sometimes). No oil burn smoke anytime; no overwheating. If this doesn't sell this listing, I will be detailing the engine bay & fixing the brakes. Now that vacations are over for couple months, I'll have time. I almost never want anything but a convertible in any classic car venue. They are always worth more than coupes in the same condition. **********************************Fender tag decoded: RM27: H9G: 383 330HP OR 335HP 1-4BBL 8 CYL 240631: Sequence number; order number E63: 383 cid 4 barrel V8 H.P. 335hp A04: Basic radio group J25: 3 Speed Wipers 26: 26in Radiator THE RADIO WAS DELUXE UPGRADE, I BELIEVE.

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.
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.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The 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.
