I am relisting because of an irresponsible bidder. Please bid only if you have the ability and intent to buy the car for the amount of your high bid.  


This is a really nice 1973 Plymouth Roadrunner clone. The pictures do not do it justice. It rained for a week straight when I took the pictures last week. I will attach some better pictures as soon as I can. This car started life as a triple white Plymouth Satellite Seebring Plus. Frankly the triple white Satellite is a pretty rare color combo and likely more rare than the Roadrunner. The previous owner did the Roadrunner conversion and did a pretty good job of it.  The body is straight, solid and the paint looks great. It is not a show car but a really nice driver driver. It definitely garners a lot of attention and even looks good standing still.  
  • Interior: New headliner and carpet. The seats look great with no tears or cracks. There are a couple buttons missing from driver seat from snagging on pants. Seats are in like new condition otherwise. I have some replacement buttons I will include. The plastic door panels are in fair condition and in need of replacement to make interior perfect. The dash has a few cracks on the top but I have a molded dash cover that will go on it and make the dash look like new. I have one on my Challenger and you can't tell it's there. It looks like the factory dash cap.  I have not installed it but will include it in the sale. Slapstick shifter with console looks great. Gauges all work as they should. Rear view mirror shows its age and could use replacing. It has the typical black spots that mirror get with age. An aftermarket steering wheel was installed by the previous owner. I have an original steering wheel for the car that I will include with the car.
  •  Drivetrain: The 318 Motor was rebuilt by the previous owner approximately two years ago and has less than 5K miles on it. The automatic transmission was also rebuilt at the same time. Car drives great with plenty of power and has no leaks or noises in the motor. The rear end makes no noise and the brakes stop as they should. The car is mechanically sound with no known issues.  This is an air conditioned car. The compressor is mounted but the condenser and hoses are not installed. I all have the hoses, brackets and what looks like a near new condenser ready to go in. All you will need to add is a new compressor. The car drives straight and steering is crisp with no play. The car drives great.
  •  Body: The body is very straight and solid. The paint is very shiny and has no orange peel or fading. No significant scratches or dents. It's a really sharp looking car. The floor pans and trunk pans are perfect. It looks like the trunk pan was replaced at some point. They did a gpod job of it. The bumpers are good but not concourse show quality. They have some slight pitting and a few blemishes from age. They still shine up great and look nice. They are not dented or bent. The guy who previously painted the car painted the engine compartment black. and did a nice job of it. I personally don't like it but will leave that to the next owner to change if they desire. Most people never even give it a second thought but I like the engine compartment to be body color.  The engine and transmission were painted body color. Again, not my first choice but it was done well.  The windshield wiper assembly is missing one control rod. I have the wipers and all hardware except the one piece of linkage. I also have a brand new wiper motor that I will include. I never drive it in the rain so it hasn't been a priority for me. This is a great car to cruise around in. It is a real attention getter and you will be proud to own it. BF Goodrich TA tires are like new with 275-60-15 in the back and 225/60/15 in the front. The brakes and suspension are in great shape too. 
I have tried to be very open with the description. On a scale from 1 to 10 with a 10 being perfect showroom condition I would rate this car a solid 7+.  There is no reserve so the high bidder will get it.  I do have it listed locally and reserve the right to end listing early if it sells. I have it listed locally for $12,500.  I might consider a trade to a Cummins pickup or other Mopars. I really like B bodies.  I live in Lancaster, KY. Send me an email if you would like to come see the car prior to the auction end. Please do not bid unless you are intending to complete the purchase and have the funds to do so. I expect a $500 deposit at the end of the auction. Please feel free to ask any questions.

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.

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.
