1967 Plymouth Barracuda Notchback 340 Hurst 4 Speed Not Hemi Red 68 69 Cuda on 2040-cars
|
This machine means the world to me. However, family takes precedence. There's no reason to go into how much money, or especially time that was spent in the making of her. Anyone who's ever built or owned an A-body knows the expense, frustration and pleasure of finding obsolete trim and components that are correct for that model. Having said that, is also the reason we don't take the easy route and just restore a Mustang or Camaro. This is not a trailer queen. For the past 6 years I driven her everyday and everywhere, whether it's to a car show or to work. I trust it just as if it were a brand new car and have driven it from Illinois to Florida and back with no issues. Engine and driveline: The 340 has been machined and meticulously cared for and puts out around 400hp. Last year I had it tuned and dyno'd at the "world famous' Willy's located in southern Illinois. The A-833 is operated by an original Hurst Competition Plus 4 speed. Both the 340 and the A833 are transplants from a 1971 Dodge Dart. Has an 8 3/4 rear end and operates smooth. Fuel is supplied by a Carter electronic fuel pump that feeds the Edlebrock 1406 carb that sits on an Edlebrock Performer RPM intake. Air is breathed from a Spectre dual plentum low rise cone induction. The battery has been relocated to the trunk for better weight distribution. Most of the front end suspension is new. (tie rods, upper and lower control arms, shocks) Clutch is brand new (diaphram) and throwout bearing was replaced at the same time. Brakes are front disk and rear drum. New chrome high output alternator. TSP GM style HEI ignition. Brand new. Brand new headers. Interior: The interior is basically perfect. The dashboard is brand new. Pad is very nice with no tears. Front and back seats are in perfect shape. Carpet is nice and black. Armrests, pads and chrome bases are brand new. All Guages function as they should and has the rare 150mph rally pack option. Monster Tach with external shift light. Red lighted push button start.(with secret toggle) Police siren horn. (don't judge me) Sound: Professionally installed System which includes (2) boxed 12" Rockford Fosgate dual voice coil Punch subs, Kenwood 6x9s, 5 1/4 fronts and tweeters. Powered by 2 separate Rockford Fosgate amps, capacitor, circuit breaker and crossovers. Touchscreen LCD CD player in custom floor mounted enclosure with built in Temp and Oil pressure gauges. Misc: All trim is in nice shape or brand new. Front and rear bumpers are brand new. Headlamps were upgraded to the "Halo" effect HID. (looks amazing with parking lamps on) That's about it! Thank you, and good luck! |

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.

'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.
