 Sell or Trade my 1968 Plymouth Barracuda (fast back). Recently acquired on a trade. Im not much of a mopar man, but I know what it is and what it can and could be worth as well. The previous owner was 70yrs old. I have paperwork from the previous owner of things done to it. Not everything done is documented however. The car's Vin number matches that it is a 1968, 318, and body type and where it was built. However I am unsure whether or not the 318 is original or one from another year, as I have not looked that hard. This is a Sunday cruiser, not really a show car by my standards, but it does look good at a show.  Wouldn't take much more elbow grease and a little funding to really make this toy shine.

Now the stuff you want to know:
This car is not a Barrett Jackson car and is a nice 10' and looks great sitting or cruising.
VIN # bh29f8b412980
Car is a 318 and runs out well.
cammed,
Holley Carb
New mechanical Fuel pump
New lifters, and rods, 
 Muncie trans, & Stall, (no I do not know the stall info)
B & M shifter 3 speed,
geared rear end,
new ceramic coated headers and full exhaust to mufflers.
Newer American Racing Wheels
Newer tires
Newer Carpet
Newer seats front and back
redone headliner
new bumpers
69 taillights (left side lens is cracked) and center tailpieces (painted but not on the car)
68 taillights (But they have severe pitting)
redone solid floor pans, and padding installed
solid trunk pan with 2 small spots of rust (very small)
all lights work and signals
has powersteering

the bad:

Paint could be redone, last person to buff and polish it, buffed to far on a few corners/angles. The right hood hinge sticks a little when closing (could be replaced). 
The car's oil pressure light came on, I checked the filter, and I have circulation, I checked valve covers and I have oil, and checked the sensor hole and I have oil that comes out. However I don't have a guage to get an accurate read on the oil pressure, so it could be its a faulty sensor or could have a blocked pickup tube. Currently the car fires right up and runs strong. But I just wanted to be safe and not drive it until I knew for sure what the oil pressure was.  This car does not need to be trailered to drive, however I would trailer it home to be safe until it is checked out.  No sense in ruining a good engine.

The Car is being sold locally as well, So I can cancel the auction at anytime if sold locally.  There is no warranty with the car.  I am NOT an "ASE certified mechanic", I am NOT a "dealership."  So I listed the car to the best of my abilities and description. I will do whatever I can to answer all questions promptly and to the best of my ability.  So if you have questions please ask.  So thanks for looking and happy bidding!  You wont be disappointed!

 If you have questions or need more pictures, please text or call 217-341-3three12

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before 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.

'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.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

The 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.
