Up for sale is a 1976 Plymouth Gran Fury Police Car, this is a PK41 U code 440 police package vehicle.

I became aware of the Fury in July of 2011, it was posted on Ebay by the previous owner. The car was located in Lynchburg Virginia,based on paperwork found in the car it is likely the Fury has been off the road since 1981. I purchased it in June of 2012 and transported it to Manassas Virginia.

The Fury was shipped to me in Florida in May of 2013, at that time I began the repair and evaluation process.

The Fury is the most complete and original vintage cruiser I have observed. I appears that the engine bay has been unmolested since its production.
The car was equipped with the Carter Thermo-Quad and all the associated vacuum lines and switches and sensors.
I would guess that this is a numbers matching car, I say this because every clip,bracket and connection seems to be intact

After securing the Fury in Virginia I poured a gallon of PB blaster  and two quarts of transmission fluid  into the carburetor, I let the mix set for several months.
I pulled the plugs and lubricated the cylinders, added fresh gas, jumped the ignition relay and the long dormant 440 ROARED to life.

Since Then:
-windshield has been replaced
-steering column and speedometer / replaced
-brake master cylinder / replaced
-brake calipers, brake hoses[3] / replaced
-radiator / replaced with a serviced,used unit
-thermostat / replaced
-Carter Thermo Quad carb removed and replaced with an Edelbrock
-cap,rotor,wires and plugs / replaced
-replaced wiper grommets
-replaced fuel pump
-replaced fuel tank with a solid flushed unit
-installed used 235-70-15 Firestone tires on straight ,slotted wheels
-two brand new headlights
-I have the correct functioning spotlight with bracket

-removed heater box from under dash, cleaned it out, checked heater core and AC evaporator,lubricated all doors and switches and returned unit to correct function

-serviced electrical system and at this time have regained all electronic function except the power locks, they respond but require some more attention

Body:
-I have a replacement header panel that will be installed
-the paint is original and seems to take and hold a shine when buffed, it appears the front doors have been repainted and do not respond to the buffer
-I replaced the deck lid, the original had rotted on the inside
-rear quarters are solid overall except for the area behind the wheels  and the dogleg on the right side [ I have a repair section for the dogleg ]
-front fenders are bad at the rear bottom
-floors are solid in the front but weak in the rear, the are where the feet rest will have to be re-worked on both sides
-trunk floor is solid overall but does have some rust in odd spots.
-body is straight and does not appear to have been hit or repainted [ other than front doors ]


I now have this car up and running and driveable, the work will continue.
I will post more pictures

At the time of sale it will run and drive as it should and the AC will blow cold

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.

'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 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.
