1968 Plymouth Roadrunner Hemi 5 Speed on 2040-cars
Harrison, Ohio, United States
For Sale is my 1968 Plymouth Road Runner. Originally a 383 ci 4 speed. The car now has a 528 Mopar Crate Hemi motor residing in the engine compartment with a Tremec 5 speed transmission attached. I still have the original 383 motor and 4 speed Transmission and all the original parts that came off the car that I can include with the car. The car was originally purchased in Mississippi in 1968 but lived most of it's life in California. When I purchased it, the 383 ran great. I was told the motor was recently rebuilt to original specs. I purchased the Crate Hemi new from a Dodge dealer and they did the engine swap at the dealership. I added: a complete 3" exhaust system with ceramic coated headers by "Tube Technologies", 4 wheel "Stainless Steel" disc brakes, a new 4 row radiator, a tilt steering column and "Tuff Wheel", A new custom made dash pad with built in instruments, new interior from "Legendary Interior" and many many more things. The car was painted orange when I purchased it. I believe it was originally Tan with tan/brown interior. It is an older paint job that looks good but has some small chips, a couple small bubbles in the black on the hood, not from rust, and a small bubble behind each rear wheel well about the size of a dime. Looks to be from a previous repair. This area is very small and there is no indication that there was any rust through or serious rust repair here. The car has the original quarters on it. I don't believe the car required much body work when it was painted. It is very straight and all panels line up very well. The front suspension has been completely rebuilt. It has new torsion bars and shocks. It has the original 8 3/4 rear end with a 3:55 posi rear end. Please fell free to ask questions. I'll address all questions promptly and honestly. Thanks for checking out my Road Runner.

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.
'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.
