Paint-
* During the restoration the car received a complete repaint that is very professionally done to the highest of standards. * Paint is extremely smooth and shiny, and matches all the way around. * Years later the paint looks flawless, the only nick that was located has been lightly touched up at the front edge of the left fender. * You wont find any imperfections unless you put car under bright florescent light. Than you can detect a few fine scratches, and a few little pin head size imperfections in the hood at the top. (standing at just the right angle) * If you where to have this car painted today you could only hope it would come out as good as this car still looks.
Body-
* Body is nice and straight, and probably equal to or better than when the car was produced new. * Same is true of the fits on the doors, hood, and trunk. * Only exceptions being that the back edge of the trunk is up a little bit, and could be caused by weather stripping. (could be adjusted down) * The hood is ever so slightly tighter on the left side than the right, but probably with in what it was new. * Bottom edge of the drivers door lower rear corner is out a touch, as well as the door maybe just a touch lower at the striker. * Current owner has no accident history.
Magnets-
* Going over the car just in random places we detected that metal is indicated in all spots with paint depth that is fairly consistent with a restoration. * Approximately 10 to 15 mils of paint on most areas. * Magnet readings also indicate that there was most likely some slight rust repair in front and behind the rear tires, and possibly some in the wheel well area. You could not tell looking at it, as it was beautifully done, and this was very common and typical in these cars. * We did not notice obvious repair readings at the doors and front fenders.
Bright work-
* All of the bright work surrounding the windows appears to be very well secured, free of damage, expertly polished and shows very little wear at all. * The outside mirror, door handles, hubcaps, and front and rears bumpers are almost flawless like that of a car only a couple years old. * The grill also looks very fresh and restored, the only exception being just below the headlight there is a bubbling in the finish, and the outside trim above the headlights has a little pitting and wear. (Being extremely critical)
Glass-
* All of the glass except for the drivers window and the windshield all show as being PPG glass that contains the 5 star emblem. * The drivers window also shows PPG, but appears to be of a more current built. * All of the glass is nice and clear, doesn’t show any discoloring or delamination. Glass has no bull eyes, cracks, or any wiper marks. * Being extremely critical most side glass and rear each might have a couple of small fine scratches. (most not noticeable)
Interior-
* Interior shows very little wear since the restoration project. * The sun visors work well and have a good solid backing inside of them, and material is good. * The headliner has all been pulled tight and has good solid seams without any tears. * Being extremely critical, there is a little bubbling on the material at the left and right rear corners where the material is glued to a backing of some type. (see pictures) * Door panels, dash, gauges look about as crisp and almost as new as you could imagine. (Current owner had gauges refurbished) * Carpet has lots of life left, and the blue has retained its coloring well. * Steering wheel does not show any cracks, and in general all the controls and switches show hardly any wear at all. * Looking at pictures up close will be your best indication.
Trunk-
* obvious when you open truck how professionally done this restoration was. * Finish is beautifully done on the back side of the trunk lid, and contains very original looking stickers. * A splatter paint on the sides and highly polished wheel wells. * Weather strip the locks, jack, and wrench assembly all carefully mounted like it were a new car. *Matting was custom fit. * Wires and each nut and bolts have been carefully gone over, this is another way to tell a quality well done restoration and attention to detail.
Tires and Wheels-
* BF Goodrich Silvertown radials (front) P225 /70/15 red line radial tires * Rear tires are P235 * When you look at them you will notice the little tips from the molds are still on the tires. * You wont see any cracking or curb damage. * Finish on all the caps is in great condition as well as the painted area of the rims. * There are a couple tiny spots that could use touched up, other than that tires seem flawless.
Left front 225/70/15 9-10/32 tread Right front 225/70/15 9-10/32 Left rear 235/70/15 9-10/32tread Right rear 235/70/15 9-10/32
Engine-
* The attention to detail is striking and this is what sets the tops cars apart from many others. * If you look at the pictures and review the clamps of the installation of the insulation and the latches the wiring, brackets, stickers, and clamps that are used. It goes on and on showing the quality of this restoration in the engine compartment. * I don’t see anything that looks altered from the original build.
Chassis-
* Look close at all the photos we took on the rack and you can see the attention to detail that was done on this car during restoration. * The current owner has installed Flowmaster mufflers in 2013. * You can see how the paint and coatings have held up on the bottom side of this car. * You will notice a little mark from a brake fluid drip that the owner is having repaired.
Mechanical-
* High and low headlights work * tachometer, speedometer, odometer, clock are all working * Blinkers work front and back, both sides. * Four ways work * Brake lights and back up lights work * Gauges work per owner * Wipers work * Radio working * Heater and heater fan operate * Two sets of keys * new front and rear brake shoes in 2013
Test drive-
I road with the owner while we traveled to have the car put on the rack for bottom shots. Went on about a 10-12 miles road trip. I Believe the car steers correctly as it was designed. I believe the brakes work as they were designed, with out any noticeable pulling or pulsation. The engine starts and runs as it is intended to, as does the clutch and transmission. I didn’t notice anything in my driving that appeared broken or needed repaired. This was a really fun car to drive!!

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.
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.

'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.
