1969 Plymouth Roadrunner Base 7.2l on 2040-cars

Year:1969 Mileage:99999
Location:

Murrysville, Pennsylvania, United States

Murrysville, Pennsylvania, United States

 Up for auction is a beautiful 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner (not a clone) with a working Air Grabber.  I bought the car approximately 2 years ago from Beaver, PA.  I honestly don't have much history of the car.  However, I can tell you about it for the time I have had it.

Winter 2013, the following work was done
  Rebuilt 440 engine
  Rebuilt transmission
  Rebuilt rear-end (3.23 gear set)

More details about the work:
   1972 440 Cubic Inch (dated 7/12/72); obviously, this is not the original engine
  • Bored and finished honed to 4.320 diameter (0.030 oversized)
  • Line bore checked and within .0003 tolerance
  • Head surfaces milled and squared with line bore
  • New oil pump drive bushing, cam bearings, and brass freeze plugs installed
   Heads - 1977 440 HP
   Crankshaft - 1971 440 steel shaft, internally balanced
   Rods:  1971 440 steel rods completely reconditioned

I can go on and on about all of the work.  I have a detailed work item list that was completed.  Over $10,000 invested and was professionally done by a well known Mopar guy in the Pittsburgh area.
 
There is nothing wrong with this Roadrunner.  It is a beautiful car and will turn heads wherever she goes.  The 440 runs awesome and has a lot of power as it should.  The interior is in excellent condition.  One note - The headliner sags about 1/2 inch.  The doors close good, all locks work, wipers, radio, etc... all work.

Do not hesitate to ask any questions.

I have a clean title in hand.

Finally, no joy riders and no low offers please.  Do not waste my time.

If you would like additional pictures, please let me know.  I haven't had it out for a couple of weeks to get some nice pictures.

Thanks for looking and good luck.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before 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 2014

The 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.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

The 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.
