1970 Plymouth Cuda V8 4-speed, Rust Free Project Car, All New Metal! on 2040-cars
|
Up for auction I have a rust free 1970 Plymouth Cuda
(Barracuda). Has a clean title.
It started out life as a highly optioned 318 V8, Automatic, Bright Blue Metallic exterior, light package, bucket seats with center console and floor shifter, rear speaker control, power disc brakes, and an 8 3/4 rear end. This car comes with a 4-speed transmission (no bell housing so you can buy one for either a big block or small block), Hurst Pistol Grip Shifter (no handle), and clutch/brake pedal assembly). Also comes with an 8 3/4 suregrip with 4.10 gears, factory power disc front brakes, factory rear sway bar, and a brand new gas tank and sending unit for it along with brand new 3/8 fuel lines. It also comes with all brand new Right Stuff Brake lines. Every brake line from the rear wheel cylinders to the brake master cylinder are in this kit. I bought a set of weld in sub frame connectors as well but those haven’t been welded in yet that I’m including. I have a set of Hooker Super Comp Big block headers that I was planning to use with it so I will include those as well. Has brand new Stainless Steel exhaust tips. New 383 pie tin with a dual snorkel air cleaner. New Mopar Radiator Fan Shroud and I’ve got a HD 7 blade clutch fan. It also comes with almost the entire interior (seats, dash, heater box, heater controls, console, glass, woodgrain steering wheel, seat belts, rear door panels, front armrest pads, and steering column). The seats look original and are in pretty good shape. The dash is cracked so you will want a new dash pad but you can use this one as a core. The front door panels were very chalky so I tossed them but the back ones are in great shape. I planned to get new front ones along with new carpet and a headliner when the car was further along in the restoration process. Comes with all glass except windshield (it had a crack so I got rid of it), NOS Mopar exterior door handles (never even installed still in the mopar box), chrome bumpers (need re-chroming but otherwise usable and straight), taillight and marker lights, and a complete wiring harness (labeled most things on the harness so it’ll be easier to figure out where it all goes during re-assembly). I bought an original NOS 1970 AAR Cuda rear spoiler so I will include that with the sale as well. Now onto a little more about the restoration process so far. I stripped the entire car down to its bare shell and put it on a roll around cart suspended a foot or two in the air. Once it was fully stripped I had all the rust cut away. Then it was media blasted to remove any paint etc. All new metal was welded in. The shop that did the metal repair did an excellent job. Many of the small repair pieces and panels that were put in were all hand-formed. They did an amazing job welding all the new metal in with no overlapping welds. Everything was butt welded so minimal filler would be needed to have a perfect finish. You will not find a more rust free project Cuda out there. The doors, trunk lid, and Cuda hood (twin bubble scoop Cuda
hood), are all blocked and sanded and essentially ready for paint. The rest of
the car just needs the final prep work of smoothing and sanding/blocking etc to
get it ready to paint. This is a great starting point with all the “hard” work
of rust repair finished. Buying an already finished car you will never know if
its hiding rust somewhere but with this Cuda you know it is rust free. Pick
your color, pick your engine, and get this Cuda on the road! It would make a
great big block 4 speed car! I tried to take as many pictures as I could but unfortunately ebay limits it to 24 so I had to cut some. If you'd like any additional photos just ask. Thanks for looking!

'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.
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.
