PAINT, BODY, FRAME & SUSPENSION

The car is painted Dark Copper Poly Metallic. The rotisserie restoration was completed in 2011 and all of the suspension and mechanicals were rebuilt. See restoration photos (BTW, the photos are scans from film, not digital). I have owned it since July 2012. It was showing 34000 miles when I got it, and still presents well. The undercarriage is super clean with some wear and tear from being driven about 3000 miles.

GLASS, CHROME AND TRIM

The windshield is tinted and 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.

INTERIOR

The black vinyl interior is 100% original and still in immaculate shape. The console and glove compartment doors operate well. Has seat belts front and rear. (What you see attached to the steering column are hand-controls.)

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 GTX has excellent drivability and runs cool, even in stop and go traffic.  This drive train combo runs and drives very well in all conditions whether highway or city driving. The 8 3/4 ” rear end has 2:93 gears. It also has an original Dual- Snorkle Air Cleaner with a new 800cfm Edelbrock Carb (the original carb is included). Also includes a car cover and has always been kept in a heated garage since the restoration was completed.

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.

'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.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before 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.
