1969 Plymouth Roadrunner Convertible, 440, Buckets, Console Auto Floor Shift on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
|
Originally 383ci. As the $55k Roadrunner seller states (his eBay item number: 271533742981), "his is one of 1111 convertibles with 383 & auto", (as is mine, BUT mine must be even more rare with center floor shift rather than column shift). That does not make mine of equivelent value to his, but is a plus in itself.... This one now has "20,000 miles since rebuild" on a 1971 440ci.; and, it has original center console floor shift heavy duty auto//buckets. Mine is of course, is much less to buy based upon some needs & not the original motor (BUT, older rebuilt motor !). 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). 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). 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. Options: A/C, PS, PB, P top ( **with excellent condition GLASS rear window )(A/C parts all present; not working); **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. **********************************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.

'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.
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.
