1968 Road Runner 2 Door Hard Top, Numbers Matching Except Paint And Interior on 2040-cars
Spokane, Washington, United States
|
Purchased at auction June, 1999. Driven well under average miles for a sunny day driver. I put 11,000 miles on it in 14 years. The oil has never been dirty nor has it been driven in the rain. Stored inside when it is not being driven. I am a purist, figured this would be a very nice project without working too hard. I love this car but my health keeps me from doing what I set out to do on the car so, here it is. I pulled the engine 3 years ago to paint the block, put all new peripherals on it, never touched the crank or heads, spotless. The engine runs well, you know, it's a MOPAR. I never drove it hard, ever. She is sweet for a driver. It could easily be drive across the country worry free. Looks great from 10 feet, normal paint wear but still pretty decent. Has an 8 track player but needs a speaker. This car happens to have a rear de-fogger. 383, 4bbl, 727 auto on the column, bone stock, although there is a rumor that there is a slightly different cam in it than stock. Possibility if you notice the photos where he raced it once in a while before he sold it. Built ground up but not a rotisserie build by any means. It's a driver. New brakes, including wheel cylinders, some brake lines, tires, dual exhaust, radiator, in perfect alignment, I think it has 3:55 gears, my speedo says 70 the GPS says 62. I have a ton of parts that may go with it, memorabilia for the bird in boxes. It is a car you can drive NOW. It has never failed to run excellent. New Pertronix ignition. Think about it...thanks, Dan

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.
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.
