It has a 225 block slant-six
with a rebuilt 3 speed "trans-glide" automatic transmission

Original roof-rack and hubcaps.
Original paint, minor surface rust only! This car is 97% rust-free. No floor panel rust, no structural rust.
Original interior vinyl seats, carpet, and windows in great condition.

This Volare sat in a dry, climate controlled, pest-free garage in New Mexico from 1994-2012. I purchased the car last July and have been restoring it since.

Restoration includes:
-New gas tank
-All new rubber lines (gas, coolant, power steering, vaccum)
-Rebuilt transmission
-Rebuilt carburetor
-Engine seals, and valve cover
-Tune-up (New wires, plugs, air filter, fuel filter)
-New belts
-New breathers
-Bigger radiator
-New battery
-Modified exhaust
-Engine mounts
-All around detail
-Rebuilt passenger door and trunk lock mechanism

This car has been my daily driver since I bought it. Did a bunch of the work at first, and finished up the rest over the last few weeks, I've put about 7500 miles on it since then with great response and regular oil changes. This car has it all: Power, economy, room, style, originality, easy and cheap maintenance, in my opinion more reliable than any new car with the same milage!

She's in for the long haul, and needs to go to someone who wants to really appreciate the milage they put on her. This is not a project, and will only take minimal effort to maintain! She's ready for a road-trip to New York tomorrow, if your so inclined.

Now the less-than-perfect aspects...
-Drivers side seat has a scar
-Could use shocks, new tires, and an alignment (not bad)
-Surface rust (not my place to paint her, but if you want to...)
-Needs upgraded exhaust. Almost all there, and in working condition, just less than ideal.

'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.

'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.
