1965 Plymouth Fury Iii Wagon With Custom 440 Hp Engine-new Chrome- Mopar Mopar on 2040-cars
Los Angeles, California, United States
I have been the proud owner of this 1965 Plymouth Fury III Wagon since 1997. I have kept nearly all service history and backup receipts from the 16 years we have been together and will include all of this paperwork with the car in a binder. The car has many new features including a big block 440 HP engine I put under the hood one year ago. The 440 which was put into my wagon only had 50k miles on it and it runs strong and fast. The torque on this car is very forceful! I have added new chrome bumpers on the front and back, new mirror and a gorgeous new black paint job. I have taken off the automatic tree shifter and added a Hurst Dual Gate shifter in the center column, which is very cool. The car has all it's trim in all the right places, the headliner ceiling is in excellent shape. The engine is quite clean as you can see from the photos. It does like a 5 minute warm up period in the morning before hitting the streets, but once warm, it's ready for duty. It's quite simply the best looking and best running sport wagon in Los Angeles, hands down! The back window is electric, controlled from the dashboard, which is convenient for groceries or loading packages. There is a subwoofer in the back bottom storage well of the car. The back seat folds down to extend the bed in back. I've comfortably camped in this car after being "rained out" at campgrounds. I am a photographer/film director and this has been a great car over the years for loading photo gear for dozens of shoots. This car has been seen in Tommy Lee photo shoots as well as in Cypress Hill's "Whats Your Name, Whats Your Number?" music video, please UTube it and see the car featured many times in the clip! The two things this car needs that come to mind are as follows 1. The air conditioning/heater needs attention, I can remember once upon a time it would rival a modern day car and became such an icebox, but any mechanic can handle the job. 2. The speedometer does not work, this should not be too big of a fix it project. The door speakers are without their covers and the cover for the spare tire and the spare tire are missing. Since listing this ad, I had the tint taken off the windows and it looks twice as cool because now you can clearly see through this attractive vehicle, I will post some more photos soon.

'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.
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.
