Champaign, Illinois, United States
|
UP FOR AUCTION IS A 1969 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA 340! I HAVE THE BROADCAST SHEET - FENDER TAG - AND - ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER!! I HAVE OWNED THIS LITTLE A-BODY BARRACUDA FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BUT HAVE HAD A LOT OF FUN IN THE LITTLE CAR! WE JUST FINISHED A FULL WEEKEND OF DRIVING ALL OVER CENTRAL ILLINOIS, WE ROLLED OVER 300 MILES AT 65-70 (AND TRIPLE DIGITS WHEN IT WAS SAFE!) THIS THING FLYS! I HAVE HAD MANY BIG BLOCK MOPARS AND HAVE RIDDEN IN AND DRIVEN PLENTY OF STRONG SMALL BLOCKS OF ALL MAKES AND THIS ONE WILL RUN CIRCLES AROUND MOST OF THEM! AS FAR AS I CAN TELL FROM ALL OF THE PAPER WORK THAT CAME WITH THE CAR IT HASNT HAD ANYTHING DONE TO IT MECHANICALLY ACCEPT FOR THE LEAKY HEADERS, DUAL FLOWMASTER MUFFLERS AND A EDELBROCK 650 CFM CARB BACK IN THE 90'S! I DONT THINK ITS REALLY EVER HAD ANYTHING ELSE DONE TO IT! IT STILL HAS IT'S POINTS! IF I GET THE $10K I WOULD LIKE TO GET I AM GOING TO INCLUDE A BEAUTIFUL SET OF CORRECT 340 HP MANIFOLDS, OTHERWISE THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE TO THE BUYER FOR AN ADDITIONAL $400.00 I LIKE TO SAY THAT THE CAR IS A VERY UNMOLESTED CAR BUT THE BODYWORK AND PAINT PLUS THE DOOR-PANELS BEING CUT FOR SPEAKERS KEEPS THAT FROM BEING 100% TRUE. THE WIRING ISN'T BUTCHERED ANYWHERE AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN "HILLBILLY HOT-RODDED" AND EVERYTHING WORKS! ALL THE LIGHTS, BLINKERS, AND GUAGES WORK! WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU GOT IN A RALLYE DASH CAR AND ALL OF THE DASH GUAGES WORKED AND ARE ACCURATE! AS MENTIONED EARLIER, THE BODY WAS PAINTED AND THE BODYWORK DONE POORLY IN THE 80'S OR EARLY 90'S AND WILL NEED TO BE REDONE TO BE A "SHOW CAR" BUT THE CAR IS VERY PRESENTABLE AS A NICE "DRIVER" JUST AS IT IS. IT STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL PAINT IN AND UNDER THE TRUNK, DOOR JAMBS AND UNDER THE HOOD. THERE IS RUST IN THE FRONT FENDERS, REAR QUARTERS BUT I AM INCLUDING AMD REAR QUARTER PANEL PATCH PANELS! THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR IS AS CLEAN AS THE INSIDE OF THE TRUNK. THE TRIM ON THIS CAR ALONE IS WORTH WHAT I'LL TAKE FOR THIS CAR, ITS NICER THAN MOST I HAVE EVER SEEN! THE IMPOSSIBLE TRIM AROUND THE SUPER RARE SLICKBACK VINYL ROOF IS PERFECT! AND THERE ARE VERY FEW FLAWS IN ANY OF THE REST OF THE TRIM. THE BUMPERS LOOK LIKE THEY WERE REPLACED BUT THEY MAY BE ORIGINAL, THEY ARE REALLY NICE! THIS IS AN EASY RESTORATION BECAUSE IT IS ALL THERE AND NICE! THE INTERIOR IS ALL THERE AND AGAIN EVERYTHING WORKS! EVEN THE TRUNCK LIGHT! THE SEATS ALL HAVE SPLIT SEAMS AND IT COULD USE CARPET, BUT IT HAS A PERFECT HEADLINER AND ALL OF THE OTHER TRIM PIECES ARE IN GREAT SHAPE! I AM INCLUDING A BEAUTIFUL (AND VERY EXPENSIVE) CORRECT NEW DASH PAD! (NOT A CAP!) THE PLASTIC HAS BEEN TRIMMED AROUND THE RADIO FOR AN AFTERMARKET RADIO BUT IT IS ONLY THE OUTER PLASTIC AND YOU DONT NOTICE IT UNLESS YOU POINT IT OUT TO SOMEONE. SEE THE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE - THIS IS A GREAT CAR THAT NEEDS A RESTORATION BUT CAN BE USED AND HAD FUN WITH WHILE YOU WORK ON IT. ALSO IF ANY OF YOUR CHEVY OR FORD BIUDDIES WANT TO RUN THEIR MOUTHS... GIVE THEM A RIDE, OR BETTER YET RUN THEM! SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET A GREAT CAR CHEEP THAT YOU CAN DRIVE ANYWHERE WITH CONFIDENCE, LOOK GOOD GETTING THERE! GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING! |

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.
'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.
