340 Plymouth Duster (no Reserve) on 2040-cars
Simi Valley, California, United States
|
This is a really nice car with an older restoration dating back to 1990, the previous owner kept meticulous records and all receipts for the work completed. I have an appraisal that states at the time the value of the car is over 25k, but i believe most of these appraisals are for insurance purposes. Ive quickly calculated some of the invoice and this car has over 25k invested. It appears as though the reconstruction/restoration was completed in 1990, The car was born as a base line, 6cyl car and transformed into a 340 car. I was told the motor and transmission was out of a challenger. The motor & transmission was rebuilt in 2009. Paperwork reads motor was bored .30 over 3" exhaust, coated headman headers, mild cam edlebrock performer intake, griffin aluminum radiator, 727 transmission with shift kit. Posi 8 3/4 rear end with 3.55 gears, lightweight stater O4529127 mopar performance. This car was purchased for 10k in 2208 from a used car dealership in San Diego Ca for just over 10k, sales paperwork in hand. The brakes were converted to stainless steel front and rear power discs. I have the dyno paper work stating that the horse power is 219.52 with 258.83 foot lbs. of torque. the speedo was calibrated on 9-16-92. Hal Shocks front & rear adjustable. Hologen bulbs, Konic front racing seats. Sub frame connectors.
The car is in great shape, I believe the finishing touches are minimal. There are a couple of scratches on the driver door, canopy fell and scratched it. A small amount of surface rust on the top of the rear bumper can be seen, someone told me the bumpers have been crafted to fit the car better, Im not sure but I wouldn't doubt it with all of the receipts and the custom work completed. The rear seat folds down & opens up to the trunk. The original jack is in the trunk. In my opinion this is a really great running car, every time I drive it I get thumbs up from other drivers. The original side view mirrors were removed for some aftermarket turbos, they have been removed and just a couple of screws exist now. I have 1 original driver side mirror that I will include with the car. I have attempted to describe the vehicle as best as I can based on the paperwork that was provided to me by the previous owner. I have listed the vehicle no reserve at a very fair rate. I do have the vehicle listed locally & reserve the right to remove it from this site, however if the bid is placed I will lock in and guarantee the sale through ebay. I have a clean title in hand, and the vehicle has currant California registration. I encourage all interested to contact me with any questions, I am not a mechanic or an expert but I will do my best to help the best I can. The speedo reads 25243, Im not sure if thats I'd assume thats over 125k |

'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.
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.
'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.
