68 Plymouth Gtx Convertible on 2040-cars
Rockwood, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I am selling a 1968 Plymouth GTX Convertible. I have owned the car for 6 years. The previous owner had started the resto when I bought the car. There is a picture of the car the way I found it, in the photos. This is not a numbers matching car. The engine is a D 440 HP dated coded 4-8-68. The transmission is a 1969 727 tourqflite. The body numbers on the truck lip do match the vin tag. Rad support numbers do not. Car may have been in an accident at one time and rad support was replaced. This is an amatuer restoration, I replaced the quarter panels only. The floor, trunk and frame are all in excellent condition. The car has new carpet and rebuilt transmission. Motor runs great. A little hesitation when cold. Rechromed tail panel and horn ring, Mag 500 wheels with red line tires. Glass is all good and the power top looks good and functions properly. All gages work. The radio does not. Only problem I have with the car is when the head lights are on the front parking lights go off. I think its the switch. A small tear in the rear left arm rest and some seat repair work was done long before I owned the car. Good exhaust ,car sounds great. Rechromed bumpers. As one picture shows I could not get the left side windows to line up properly. The paint is not show quality. The car is fun to drive on a hot summer day and gets lots of looks. Build date May 16 1968.

'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.
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.
