1965 Plymouth Barracuda 273 Commando Engine Hurst 4 Speed on 2040-cars
Irvine, California, United States
|
This is a fun and pretty rare car. Original Build Sheet. Numbers matching. 1965 Plymouth barracuda with the commando 273 - 235 hp high performance motor and a Hurst four speed manual transmission. This was the hot rod Baracuda in 1965. You Mopar guys already know the significance of this car. But for those who don't please check it out on various places on the web. I am selling it because I have too many cars.
Per wikipedia "New options were introduced for the Barracuda as the competition among pony cars intensified. The 273 engine was made available as an upgraded Commando version with a four-barrel carburetor, 10.5:1 compression, and a more aggressive camshaft with solid tappets. These and other upgrades increased the engine's output to 235 bhp (175 kW). Check out "wild about cars online" - they have a PDF of the Car Life road test. The Hagarty Price Guide says its worth between $11,400 and $17,200. It's between a 4 and a 3 on their scale. I am pulling the bumper off today to have re-chromed. I have a full replacement grill that I am going to put on as well. The one that is on there is bent in several places. It has dual Flowmaster exhaust, Manual drum brakes that work fine, and manual steering that also works fine. The heater and defroster work, as do all of the other lights and gauges. I took it to cars and coffee in Irvine and it got a lot of attention. There was another 65 Baracuda there and the guy wanted to check out mine to see how things were done at the factory. It really is mostly original. The only thing that is upgraded is the Edelbrock 1404 four barrel carb. It is a hoot to drive. Starts and runs beautifully. Always a Southern Cal car so no rust. A few dings here and there but I a took it to a paint shop and they said that everything is minor. The rechomed bumper, original jack and the replacement grill comes with it. I have a video on youtube. search 1965 barracuda "richclas" It needs paint and an interior. If it does not sell I am going to have it painted, the interior seats and carpet done, put the re-chromed bumper back on, put the grill on. Then relisted at 17,500. before I do that, I want to offer it just in case somebody wants to paint it their own color and do the interior to their own taste.

'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.
US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.
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.
