1969 Plymouth Gtx Base 7.2l on 2040-cars
Saginaw, Michigan, United States
Up for sale is a 1969 GTX Hardtop from Tennessee Project Car..................... The car comes with a ton of parts, was a drag car and the body, rockers, undercarriage and sub frame are rust free and in extremely nice shape. I believe this car was most likely a 6 pack car because it has the 9.25 inch Dana rear end housing.......................... I also have a 'period correct' 440 numbers matching engine and transmission.................... The #'s prefix on the block is E 440 6 5 2 and the block casting # is 2536430 6......................... The head castings are 2843906 and the trans is 8E144178............................. The stamping on the core support is A9I9922 6, the dash vin is RS23L9aI99226............................................ I also have the vin tag from the firewall which matches the car. The #'s are 15130 199611 9A199226 / 917 644 093 / 26 /1X 6W / T5 T5 P6X X9 / V21 / RS23 E86 D32 C30 317650......................................... According to my research in 2005, everything matches up but the block is approx. 3 Months newer than the car so it may or may not have been the original. ...................................... There are people that will verify all this for a cost. .................................. This is a nice period correct restorable car with most of the correct parts............................. These entry level project muscle cars are disappearing from the landscape and soon will be way out of reach for the average guy to restore........................................ The pro's and 'rich guys' are killing the market. .............................. My reserve is low enough so that a person could buy this car, stick 3000.00 a year into it for five years and some elbow grease and most likely triple your money for the cost of a ciggarette smoking habit !!!!!...................................................................... In a few years you won't see any more cars like this attainable for the average Joe..................................... I'm 62 years old and have done 6 major resto's on cars and 4 Antique Boats in my lifetime all taking me approx. 4 to 6 years each and raised 5 kids in the mean time. ................. I know the whole drill.......................... This car was going to be a 'Father Son' project when I retire which is not happening any time soon........................ I have other personal intrests at the present time. .................................. One of them is a 20 Foot Antique V-Drive Boat with a Blown 572 Cu. In. BBC that I just did a 5 year resto on, so It's not that I'm slowing down THAT Much, just thinning the herd......................................... If you have any questions or want me to take some more Specific Pictures, call my cell Bill .....................989-980-3618.................... The car is in Saginaw Michigan ........................ Pick Up only .................... not interested in shipping all the parts that come with the car. 500 dollars non-refundable deposit at auction close via pay pal and cash on pick up...............................I WOULD CONSIDER trading up for a running corvette 1957 thru 1967 and could fly out to look at any possible trades and would have no problem adding Cash for the right car............................. I would do a buy it now through E-Bay for the value of my car. Happy Bidding .................................. Thanks for your Consideration !!!!!!

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.
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.
