1967 Plymouth Gtx, #'s Matching 440, Auto, Ac, Suregrip, Two Owner Car, Survivor on 2040-cars
Wakefield, Massachusetts, United States
PLEASE ALLOW ALL THE PICS BELOW TO LOAD - THERE ARE ALOT OF THEM... If you're looking for an unmolested, great running and driving '67 440 GTX this car is worth your consideration...
This car has been driven to the Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit as well as Charlotte, NC for the Good Guys Nationals - being an original, never restored car; she cruises very well! PAINT, BODY, FRAME & SUSPENSION As stated above this is an all original sheet metal car, never hit, still painted in its original QQ1 Dark Red Poly Metallic. The car was repainted about 35 years ago and is checking and getting thin mainly on the top surfaces, but it still presents well. I would classify this as a six-footer, not too bad, still very "cruise night" worthy as you can see. The black stripes go well with the car's black interior. There is slight bubbling above the right rear wheel arch as seen in the pics, you can't feel anything behind the bubbles on the back side of the qtr. It's been like this for the last 15 years, not getting any worse, perhaps it was bad paint prep? Lower rear quarters, trunk drops, rockers, lower fenders are all original metal and in good shape. The plastic drain plugs are still in the trunk extensions! The trunk is rustfree, has all the drain plugs and has been resprayed as has the engine bay. The undercarriage is super clean with no more rust that you would expect an original car to have, no undercoating (nice), the suspension is in good shape, new torsion bars are evident, and new rear air-shocks have been installed. The car has a great stance.... GLASS, CHROME AND TRIM The glass is original date coded glass, all windows operate and line-up perfectly. The front and rear bumpers are rechromed and in very good condition. The stainless trim is in great shape, the rear glass is scratched a bit from what looks to be an ice scraper from back in the day. The head and tail lights work well. The flashers don't seem to work as does the right side blinker (it stays bright but does not blink, I suspect bad filament in one of the bulbs, I'll be checking this out shortly). The gauges all seem to wkr as does the speedometer and odometer. The door handles, diver’s side mirror, antenna and inside door handles are also original and in great shape. The front grill and rear tail panel are un-restored, and still look super nice. INTERIOR The black vinyl interior is 100% original and still in decent shape, nice all original condition. The console and glove compartment doors operate well, the driver's seat belt seems to have been replaced as it doesn't match the rest of them. Dash lights are original and should be replaced to be a bit brighter, AM radio works fine as do the wipers, horn, etc. The heater control works on the lower speed fan settings and blows hot and cold, the AC is missing some parts but is complete behind the firewall (I'd get a more effiecient "Vintage" setup to be more reliable). All factory gauges work and operate correctly.
DRIVE TRAIN The strong running original numbers matching 440 makes excellent power and runs great. This engine runs extremely smooth and very easy to drive in any given traffic condition. The engine was pulled, had a valvejob and new gaskets installed at the time of the paint job years ago (currently the engine leaks very slightly, a quarter size drip per month). The motor does not smoke, tick or make any noises… again it runs great with no issues. The 727 Automatic is the original #’s matching transmission and it shifts excellent through the gears and is an absolute blast to drive! The GTX has excellent drivability and cools well even in stop and go traffic. This excellent drive train combo runs and drives awesome in all conditions whether highway or city driving. As mentioned above it is a 8 3/4 ” rear end, with I suspect 3:23's (judging from my butt dyno). Other than the previous mentioned repaint and addition of electronic ingnition, the engine bay is very original Eastwood temperature paint was put on the original and very expensive 440 HP manifolds; everything else is factory original and untouched. Spare parts include: 1.) Passanger Side mirror (never installed) 2.) Chrysler Service Manual - 1967 3.) Plymouth Parts Book from the dealership 4.) The original Dual Snorkle Air Cleaner (won't fit correctly atop the Edelbrock Carb.) 5.) The Original Carter Carb. 6.) An extra Carter Carb. 7.) Two fan belts. 8. Radiator Overflow tank (aftermarket chrome). If you have any questions before, during or after the sale, do not hesitate to contact us. I encourage prospective buyers, their buyer's agents or inspectors to come and see this car in person.

'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.
SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before 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.
'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.
