Well, I should "never say never" I guess...
This
car has been faithfully built from the ground up as a tribute to her sister the
Plymouth GTX. Reportedly one of less than 1000 1968 Satellite Sport Convertibles ever built, it is one rare beast. Painted in the very unusual, one year only, QQ1 Electric Blue
Metallic with white interior and white power top.
Every
system, part, nut and bolt have been replace or restored to better than new
condition and she drives like a new car.
Hardware:
Fitted
with a 1968 date coded and completely rebuilt to spec 440ci (steel crank)
engine, 4 speed manual transmission with overdrive and 3:23:1 Sure-Grip
differential. This combination is good for 400hp and she cruises 70mph on the freeway at 2200 rpm. Front and rear anti-sway bars and Vintage Air Conditioning have been added.
Condition:
I
would consider this car to be a very nice driver. She has claimed her share of
#1 trophies but the real payoff is in the reactions that she gets from anyone
that passes by. The car was born and sold new in California. The second owner was in Nevada and then I purchased it brought her to Arkansas. This explains the almost
nonexistent rust issues that normally plague convertibles.
The
drivers rear quarter does have some filler down low but the trunk extension is
perfect.
As I
stated, this car is a driver, so one can expect a few flaws.
Small
nicks or flaws in the paint, tire wear, dust and the ever-present bug splatter
are to be expected.
Purchase,
Shipping and Payment arrangements:
Please
give me a call or text to discuss the car or make arrangements to view it in
person. (Highly Recommended)
Ask
lots of questions before you bid! I have a clear title in hand.
501-351-2631
I will
sell internationally but I will not ship, hold a check, deal with a escrow
company etc.
International
buyers be prepared to have a local US representative available to make the
transaction 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.
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.

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.
