Up for auction is a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda. The car is a recent “Barn Find” and has been sitting in a garage for the last 8-10 years following the minor front end fender bender. The previous owner had been driving this car as his daily “drive to work car” until someone pulled out in front of him and damaged the front bumper, header panel and center grille section. The previous owner could not find a replacement grille and header panel at the time, so he just parked it in his garage. We have a replacement center grille section and header panel to help with the repair of the front end damage.

The car is an original Utah car, and is a very solid, straight, with minimal rust. (see photos) We have the original build sheet, and a clear signed off Utah title. The car is still wearing its original paint and white vinyl top, all its original interior, carpet and door panels and the odometer shows 87,000 miles. It could easily be called a “survivor” as it is so unmolested. Fender tag reads as follows:

M21 N95 R11 Y05 26 EN1
V1W A01 C16 C55 H51 L31
FF4 N6F3 000 B14 T22047
E44 D31 BH23 G0B 190893

We have done very little to this car other than trailer it home, wash off 10 years of dust and dirt, and put in a battery. We flushed out the old gas, put in some fresh fuel and it started right up. We check all the fluids and have been driving the car around the neighborhood. It runs and drives great, all the lights work, the brakes are good, and with the front end repaired it could probably be a daily driver.

PROS

· It is a 1970 model which is more desirable, and carries a higher value restored than later models

· Truck floor and lower quarters needs replacement or repair

· Radio and outside mirrors are not original

I have tried to describe this car in as much detail, and as honestly as possible. There are likely some issues that I have not addressed. This car is sold AS-IS with NO warranty.

I can help with shipping and will deliver the car to an address within 300 miles of Salt Lake City, Utah.

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.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The 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 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.
