This is a unrestored survivor barn find 1968 gtx numbers matching 440 magnum.


This car had been in storage since the early to mid 80's till I acquired it several months ago. Some of the pics are as I acquired it I have since cleaned it and got it back up running and driving. The motor and trans may have about two hundred miles since rebuild before it went in storage. I have personally known this car since I was a kid and has been in storage till recently. The car was bought new in Tennessee and brought to Alabama in the late 70's 

I have all documentation on this car i have talk to the original owner and have his info he has some pretty cool stories about it and I have the original window sticker and build sheet it is a highly optioned car.It has power windows which ALL WORK, it has rear defroster and a light group package the little delayed light above the ignition switch even works it has a/c which will need a little work to get it up and working. Has factory tach it works great. All the blinkers work even the indicators on the top of the fenders. Has buckets seats with headrest and a buddy seat. I did install new carpet. The motor and transmission were completely rebuilt in the early to mid 80's right before it went it to storage. The car runs strong with no smoke did notice today when i drove it that it had small trans leak It has had one repaint in 1980 only because the original owners son had a wreck in it messing up the passenger side front fender they replaced the fender the inner fender does have some dents from the wreck but wasnt bad has the original core support with matching number then they repainted the car the original color,the grille is mint. The front seat covers are presentable but do have splits in the seams it has all the seat belts the rear seat has no splits, the door panels are presentable not perfect there original. It as optional wood grain steering wheel.

The engine and trans are numbers matching the exhaust is the original with the h pipe and the original tips has 3:23 sure grip car sounds great it has power steering. Has the factory carburetor and hipo manifolds. Has bysply redline tires with magnum 500 wheels  this car is a great example of a original unrestored survivor car. 

The car is very solid the floor pans are in great shape I did put a new carpet kit in it it has bendix 4 piston disc brakes has brand new calipers. The trunk pan has a few small dime size or smaller rust holes in it I put a new trunk mat it the drivers quarter panel has a small rust hole the size of a dime the passenger side has some bubbling the trunk lid has has a some rust in the lip. It has one dent in the whole car it's in the passenger side door where someone got it stuck up against a tree stump I was able to push a lot of it out look at pics 

The only things I know do not work on car is the radio which I believe is the speaker it does have the fader switch, the wipers do not work which I tested the wiper motor and it is bad and the horns don't work which I have not tried to fix.

I have many more pics of the car but can only put 24 pics on the auction but will be happy to send more feel free to ask questions.

Don't miss out not very often that you find a big lock mopar with power windows and all the original documents including original window sticker in survivor condition thanks for looking.

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.

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.

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.
