For Sale By:Private Seller
Engine:498 INDY 650HP
Drive Type: AUTO
Make: Plymouth
Mileage: 75,000
Model: Road Runner
Trim: 383
The current engine is a 498ci INDY Stroker motor putting out 650hp. The transmission is a Massey built 727 street/strip transmission. The valve body is manual but I have a new full auto one that I will make available if desired. Power brakes with stock vacuum boost tank.
The car has spent most of it's life in high end private collections and has been driven very little. The motor has all Race parts in it and needs nothing.
The Roadrunner handles and drives like new, (if new had 650hp!)
This car was sold at Barret Jackson Palm Beach in 2006 for 64k. My asking price is nowhere near that. Times have changed, even for Mopars unfortunately.
The paint is excellent and the body is arrow straight with no rust. The quarters and floors are original and perfect. Glass is perfect as is all the rubber including the tires.
The car is available for inspection at any time (weather permitting) and I welcome offers and possible trades. Please feel free to write with any questions. I am usually able to answer right away.
If you have a trade please send a description and picture. Please be realistic. I'm not looking for projects or bikes, just muscle cars and classics. I can trade up or down depending on the vehicle.
International sales are welcome. All customs and shipping arrangements will need to be made from your end. I will assist any way I can with loading.

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.
'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.
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.
