1968 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S on 2040-cars
Gardena, California, United States
1968 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S , 340 Manual Transmission, 4 speed. which I have owned since 1987. I just installed 2 L7 subwoofers which gives tremondous sound. There is no other car on the road like this and I hate to part with it but I have too many toys. This is a must see to appreciate so if your in the Los Angeles Area I encourage you to come see it. I have taken nothing but great care of this vehicle and has been in my family for over 20 years. I don't know actual miles becuase I had the engine rebuilt back in college and driven maybe 1000 since then. I have new carbs(not original) and manifold which took forever to get along with new hoses and if you remove the manifold my camshaft is so clean you can almost eat off of it. I don't know if original engine but came with 340 when I purchased it back in 1987. I was going to sell it back in the days but I received 102 calls in 7 days so decided to hold on to it but now it is has been long enough and it is time to part and hopefully it will find a good home. This car needs a paint job and a little body work (little rust in the drivers side qtr panel) and If i paint this car I will never ever sell it. This is sold as is and not as factory car but I kept everything stock as possible. Needs probably a new set of tires and wheels of your choice and there is so many styles to go with. I actually have a set of Redlines tires and Barracuda original hubcaps that I am still on the fence. As you all know these type of cars are always work in progress. The cosmetic things have been last on my list and I am trying to refrain from getting it painted and putting rims and tires becuase it will be another 25 years before I consider selling it. Happy bidding and maybe this car will find a new home. |

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.
'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.
