Up for sale is a really neat solid car that I purchased almost fully complete about a year ago. Unfortunately, the previous owner passed away right as he was finishing the car. I bought the car because even though I did not understand all the race modifications that were done, I knew, as a collector, that the body was straight with no rust and so was the undercarriage, and the car would have great potential for the asking price. The car is in running condition and I will try and describe all that has been done to the car. The engine is a 440 big block that is not from the original car. It has been fully rebuilt and has, at most, 5 miles on it. I do know that it was done professionally, at great expense. It has forged crank and pistons, a large solid cam and solid lifters, a high torque MSD starter, an Edelbrock 850 CFM carburetor, full MDS Gal emission, new aluminum racing radiator, B/M racing shifter with reverse lockout, full roll cage with racing bucket 5 point harness, 4 new BF Goodrich radial TA tires with Crager aluminum light wheels, and a Holly high volume fuel pump.
I know there is a lot more but I guess the best way to describe the car is that the body is very straight, it has a few scratches, and quarter sized door dings here and there, and the interior is in very good shape. I was told that the car was converted to drag racing, though you can drive it down the street. It also has a high RPM torque convertor so it revs before it starts to roll (?). Of course if you slam on the pedal, it will snap your neck. The paint is metallic blue and is pretty good, but nothing that would win a show. I am sorry I can't do a better description of the car, but of all the antique and classic cars I have had over the years, I never has a space shuttle, so I am a little lost.
Please, please feel free to come look at the car or send me an email and I will call you to answer all your questions. I am pricing this like all of my auctions to sell quickly. I hope you agree.
Thanks for hearing my lousy 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.
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.
'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.
