1967 Plymouth Barracuda Base 4.5l Convertible (automatic) on 2040-cars
Monroe Township, New Jersey, United States
It is time for me to sell the Barracuda that I started restoring over four years ago. The car is near completed; I would estimate another $5000 will complete the car. I will not give the car away, so let’s not waste each other’s time. I have two VW buses and a 66 Mustang Convertible that I want to restore so that is why I’m selling the Barracuda. If I don’t sell it I will finish it and maybe sell one of the other projects. The car runs, the engine was totally rebuilt, zero miles as was the trans and rear. I decided I didn’t want the standard Barracuda colors for the convertible top so I had a custom brown top installed. The interior is going to be yellow and brown combination. I have all the chrome and then some. There are many extra pieces since I had purchased another 67 barracuda convertible for the parts. Most of the exterior chrome has been re-done; I believe I paid about $1500. It has been wrapped in plastic and stored at my house. The A/C is totally new from classic car air. The front brakes have been converted to disc. The exhaust system is brand new. The bumpers haven’t been re-chromed and are in decent condition. The original carburetor is on the car and was rebuilt a while back so I found another carb and had it professionally rebuilt, cost me $235, this was done 3 weeks ago. All new wiring harnesses from front to back. There is no rust on the car, most of the metal has been repaired or replaced. I have a clean title on the car. Here is what I feel is needed to complete: Final coat of paint I will not be selling any parts individually, they go with
the car. More pictures to follow, please submit questions |

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.

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.
