I bought this from a gentleman, I was told it was a daily driver in NH until it broke down and the man could not afford to fix it. It still has a NH inspection sticker on the window that is good until 4/13. I believe that the engine needs to be rebuilt, it has a knocking sound to it, I looked online and there are many different things it could be. I do not know anything about the slant six. I would put a Mopar 340 in it with a four speed if I were to keep it. It needs new driver/passenger front floor boards and new trans/torsion support cross member that is directly located under the front floor boards. The floors rusted out which then rusted out the cross member. Very common on the older style A body Mopars. The repair kits are sold on autobodyspecialt dot com. They specialize in Mopar parts. It needs new brake lines as well, the lines run right through the cross member and they are rotted out there as well. The rear floors look good, the trunk floor looks good. The body has several  rust spots and bubbling as shown in the pictures. Other than that it looks solid for a 1973 Mopar. I bought it with the plans of putting in a 340 block, connecting the front and rear sub frames, installing a new cross member and restoring it into a nice Mopar muscle car. I have another project that is taking up all of what little free time that I have left and I don't want this car to just sit, so I figured I would pass it on to someone who would enjoy making it their own project. I am a Jeep guy, I have bought and worked on several old Jeeps, I am in no way a mechanic or claim to know much about classic cars. I will answer any questions to the best of my ability when ever I can. Thank you. Comes with NH registration, they do not issue titles for cars over 15 years old. Please check with your state, Mass will issue title with NH registrations with no problems.

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The 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.

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.

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.
