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.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
'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.
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.
