1964 Plymouth Barracuda 360 V8 Push Button Automatic Pro Touring Project on 2040-cars
Springville, New York, United States
|
Picked this car up to build a pro touring project last October. I'm selling the car to start a college fun for the most important girl in my life.
The car was stored from 1974 thru 2012 so there is no rot on the car that I could find. The hood was replaced because someone buckled the original one. There is a dent in the trunk lid but no rot. The passenger door has a good dent in it too, but I have a replacement from New Mexico that is included. The paint is at least 40 years old and it shows it. There are scratches, scuffs, cracks, and some peeling. The interior could use recovering, but it is perfectly fine for a driver car. Chrome is driver quality. I planned on going satin with all of the bright work so I didn't replace the chrome. Installed the following parts new or reconditioned: 2.5" Exhaust Used Doug's Headers 1.06" Torsion bars from Firm Feel Inc. Front Shocks Poly Lower Control Arm bushings Poly Strut Rod Bushings Front Disk Brakes Big Bolt Pattern (5x4.5") from 74+ Dart Dual Reservoir Brakes with Adjustable Proportioning Valve '05 Mustang Bullitt Wheels (rear end uses BBP adapters) Federal Super Steel Directional Summer Performance Tires Mopar Performance Super Stock Rear Springs 71 Chrysler Imperial Rear Shocks Rebuilt Edelbrock 1406 4 Barrel Carburetor Champion 3 core full aluminum radiator Jaguar fan clutch (to clear radiator) Parts that are included with the car: Front and Rear Sway Bars and most of the mounting hardware (need front brackets and LCA Tabs) Edelbrock Performer 4 Barrel Aluminum Intake (used) Mercury Mountaineer 8.8 Rear Axle (3.73 gears, limited slip, rear disk brakes) T5 World Class Transmission (disassembled in a bin, no bell housing, GM style trans) The Good: V8 Automatic fast car Body is rock solid, no rot. Glass is all good Car is complete Most of the suspension work is all finished for an old school pro touring build New Brakes and tires all around Includes all original parts that were removed Car Runs and Drives NYS inspected until March 2015 Car has the nice early 60's Fast Back look Early Barracudas haven't taken off yet so get in while the price is still low! The Bad: Heater core and box needs replaced (have replacements just have not installed, might be installed by auction's end) Paint needs to be redone Trunk lid has a dent in it (should be able to be pulled) Has a bent strut rod end, does not effect drive-ability, can get another but adjustable ones would be better. Car could use an alignment, ride height was changed and most of the suspension was updated Horn stopped working, wired in a push button, no holes drilled Fuel gauge does not work Has a small leak from the transmission cable kick down linkage could use adjustment Feel free to contact me if you are local and want to look the car over and go for a test spin, I have been as honest as I can be with the car's description. If you have more questions feel free to contact me. Have a clean transferable registration (NY standard for older vehicles) and as far as I know it has never been totaled. VIN tag is pictured, have not decoded it. |

'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.
'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.
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.
