HERE IS A GREAT LOOKING 1974 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA THAT HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO A 70 CUDA 440 SIX-PACK, WITH 32K MILES ON THE ODOMETER THAT IS TURN-KEY AND READY TO DRIVE ANYWHERE!
Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME.
Vehicle came out of North Carolina. Previous owner always wanted a "V-code" 70 cuda with a 440 six pack but could never afford one, so he built one himself. The donor car was a 74 Barracuda with a stock 318 that was transformed into a 70 cuda with the addition of the 70 grille, 70 bumpers, 70 rear tail panel and tail lights, and a few other accents here and there. The front end was also lightened with fiberglass fenders and hood to give it a "lightweight racer" feel. Motor was replaced with a 440/375hp Magnum V8 and a Six-Pack setup was installed to make this car what it is today. Older amateur restoration on the body to a good driver. Recently had the seats redone, installed NEW exhaust/mufflers, and NEW gas tank among other things.
Body is VERY STRAIGHT with excellent original gaps. Doors open and close nicely. Body does NOT appear to ever have been in any major collision.
OPTIONS:
Power steering
Power DISC front brakes
Vinyl roof
Rally wheels
440ci/375hp Magnum V8 with 6-Pack setup
Automatic 727 Torque-Flite transmission w/Pistol Grip handle
8 3/4" rear end
Standard bucket seat interior
Bulge hood
Rear spoiler
Dual exhaust
Under the hood lies a 440ci Magnum V8 engine with Edelbrock aluminum 6-pack intake and 3 2bbl. carburetors as well as the stock air cleaner setup. Also upgraded were the radiator which is an aluminum racing one, and full length headers into dual exhaust. Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great along with the nice and throaty exhaust system. The 727 TorqueFlite transmission is solid and shifts great without any noises or grinding from the 8 3/4" rear end. I drive the car about once every other week for short trips around down or every once in a while I'll take it to a cruise night on the highway. It has never let me down and always performs great.
Interior is basically all stock and in presentable driver quality shape. Door panels in good shape. Dash is good with new "dash cap" over original one. Good console. Seats in good shape throughout. Carpet is worn and needs replacing, but still presentable. Good headliner. Overall fairly presentable for a driver.
The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in FAIR/DECENT shape throughout, and although it looks good from 20 feet, it has a lot of small imperfections and a good amount of orange peel that I did my best to wetsand and buff. Trunk pan was amateurly patched with new sheetmetal and is solid but should be redone with correct panels. Missing: spare/jack, door weather-stripping, some smaller odds and ends that I can't remember right now. Not working: a couple of gauges disconnected, horn, perhaps a bulb or two may need replacing. I am sure there are many other things the car needs.
So overall she is not perfect but she's DAMN NICE and FUN CRUISER!. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 45 years old so keep that in mind.
If you just want a GOOD LOOKING TURN-KEY DRIVER then this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need some work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

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.
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.
