1971 Plymouth 340 Duster, Clone on 2040-cars
Waterloo, Illinois, United States
|
We just finished the restoration of this Duster. I need the lower SS trim polished for the front windshield and will install. The car is a California car and had minimal rust. We had the trunk pan replaced and the body was very solid. The paint is from research of 71 340 Duster advertisement. Correct 71 340 grill painted per research with re chromed Head Light Bezels, SS Trim and new Turn Signal Lens. Front and rear bumpers re chromed.
A 71 340 bored .30 over with X-Heads ( Hardened seat, port matched, new vales/seats, push rods and new rocker gear) with a Racer Brown Hyd. Cam, Holley 750 DBP and Weiland port matched intake. I will post the cam specs later but a nice sounding cam. All new SS lines (3/8 Fuel) are on the car. New gas tank and 3/8 sending unit. A correct 71 340 radiator with extra thick core was rebuilt. TTI headers and 3" exhaust out the back. The interior is new Legedary Delux 340, correct buckets and all new with head liner. The dash is all new bezels, 8 grand tach. and the gauges all work. New front and rear glass, glass seals, pop out window and door handles. Correct original Spare. Correct for 340 front sway bar, new torsion bars and rear leaf springs. Front end rebuilt, all new (Ball joints, Tie rod ends, Idler arm and Pitman arm). New gas shocks. The 23 spline 4 speed was rebuilt, 10.5 Zoom clutch/pressure plate and the 8 3/4, 3.23 POSI, new bearings and seals. 4 piston original disk brake setup with correct power booster. Rear brakes all new. I will place the correct shifter handle on the car with a white ball. "The Pistol Grip was a gift to my son." In short anything that we could replace or restore was. None nicer! To much to list. No low baller's, no Zero reviewed buyers, serious inquiries please. |

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.
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.

'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.
