1970 Plymouth Gtx Air Grabber, Number Matching 440 Engine, Coil Over Front Susp. on 2040-cars
Smithtown, New York, United States
|
Beautiful restoration of a 1970 Plymouth GTX. Real Plumb Crazy GTX with numbers matching engine and modern upgrades/resto-mod. This GTX is a pleasure to drive with modern Alterkation/ coil over front suspension, 4.10 Dana rear, Gear Vendors Overdrive, 4 wheel disc brakes with Hydro-boost braking. It has a 500 horsepower 440 that I have personally had to 140mph. It has the great looks of a musclecar with the drivability and handling of a late model sports car. It will go sideways in first or second gear if you would like it to but it is also happy to drive for Sunday Ice cream with the family. Tilt steering, HID headlights, thermostatically controlled fans, etc. This can be shown and driven. Body and Paint This was a 1 repaint plumb crazy car prior to its restoration in 2012. It had a new AMD Air Grabber hood, quarters and trunk floor. All other metal including the trunk lid, fenders, floors, etc were rust-free. The restoration was top-notch with polyurethane primer and PPG base/clear paint. The side stripes are reflective black and gleam a reflective silver color in certain light; this was a factory option. Bumpers were rechromed by Keystone, new mirrors, new trunk trim, wheel well trim, and outer grill chrome. The remaining stainless is excellent. The grill is perfect. I have the rear panel trim but did not install it as I liked the look without it. Drivetrain This car drives like a new car. It has the very popular upgrade to Mopars of the best coil over front suspension system called Alterkation by Riley Motorsports. QA-1 multi-adjustable coil over shocks with rack and pinion power steering. Hydro-Boost braking system that takes power from the power steering; no vacuum canister. This give over 2000 lbs. of force compared to 1200 lbs. with vacuum. This car stops on a dime! 4-wheel Wildwood 12 inch disc brakes with wildwood master cylinder and proportioning valve. Gear-Vendors overdrive with a Dana rear with 4.10 gears. The overdrive makes the effective ratio a 3.20. You can go through 6 gears manually or set the overdrive to automatic mode as well. Aluminum driveshaft. Reverse manual valve body. Although it is a 727 automatic it must be shifted manually through each gear. I have never had this before but it really makes it fun to drive! Engine and Transmission Strong running 440 with Eldebrock aluminum heads, roller rockers, hooker headers, 800 Eldebrock carb, and Performer RPM intake. Aluminum water pump, Be Cool radiator with thermostatic cooling fans with relays for the engine and another one for the transmission. It has a stall converter unsure what size but it does not affect the drivability but is there when you hit the gas. 2.5 inch exhaust with polished magnaflow mufflers and stainless tips. As mentioned above it is extremely fast but also drives, starts, and runs like a stock GTX. Interior New Legendary seat upholstery, headliner, package tray and carpet. Tick-tock tach is unhooked and unsure if it works; I haven’t tested it. XV motorsports installed tilt steering. Everything else works and is in excellent condition. Wheels and Tires New $2500 Wheel Vintiques 17” Magnum 500 Billet wheels and Nitto Z rated tires. 275-50-17 in rear on 10.5 inch wide wheels and 225-50-15 in front on 8” wheels. This will make anyone a great car to truly enjoy. This car needs nothing, just drive and enjoy. |

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.
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.
