Tallest Fins Ever! 1960 Plymouth Fury Convertible Much Rarer Than 1959 Cadillac on 2040-cars
Palos Verdes Peninsula, California, United States
|
In 1960, the Plymouth Fury was the top offering in Plymouth's line-up. Legendary designer Virgil Exner was the man responsible for this classic style known as "The Million Dollar Look." This is beautiful example of Chrysler corporation styling and Virgil Exner's flamboyance. The Fury was top of the line for Plymouth in 1960. This Fury is powered by it's original 318cid V8 producing 230hp and a 3-speed TorqueFlite push-button automatic transmission with power steering and convertible top. She's Rust Free. Her paint is in great condition. It has new brakes. This car has its original optional 'Aero' steering wheel too in great shape. This classic Plymouth Fury showcases driver quality paint along with intact & rare brightwork throughout. The doors, hood, and trunk open and close correctly. The paint displays an excellent gloss and overall appeal. There are a number of paint imperfections and chip touch-up if you look closely. The interior is finished in red vinyl and cloth. The dash displays its original instrumentation as well. The speedometer works well. The door panels are intricate and classic pieces in decent shape, showing some age with their brightwork intact. The dash has some cracks on the passenger side pad, but can easily be replaced as it is just vinyl without any special heat pleats. The pushbutton Torque Flite automatic transmission works well. The engine compartment displays the 318 c.i. engine along with clean and solid inner fenders, core support, and firewall sheetmetal. The original charging system is still in place. The trunk is solid and complete with the original jacking equipment. The original VIN plate is also in place. The upholstery is in good condition front to back, showing no age. The door undersides are solid and corrosion free. This is a very solid old car. The underbody is also very solid, indicitive of a car kept in dry condition. The flooring, frame and engine underside are clean and solid, as is the rear end. The original floor pans are intact throughout. The glass is in good shape except the windshield has what looks like a bb gun hole and crack at the base of the window. I have a source for new replacement windshields for $475 dollars for the buyer. The front and rear windows roll up and down easily. The Odometer shows 97,4500 miles -- appears to be accurate. More options include a very Rare Front Bumper Guard and Flight Sweep Decklid and Dual Outside Mirrors. Best of all the car has the accessory Swivel Seats that work really well. I am selling this car only to fund the restoration of my 1961 and 1962 Imperial convertibles. I have over 15 cars varying from Italian to American and I'm always trading and changing cars because it's my passion. Call to schedule to take a look with 24hrs notice. Lee 310-259-5195 |

'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.
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.

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.
