'70 Plymouth Superbird 440 B5 Blue, "Counting Cars, Deep Trouble" Episode car
This 1970 Superbird 440 is backed by two broadcast sheets, original Fender Tag, and Galen Govier decode. She is a
rock solid, turn-key car ready for the road, or track. An original 440 4bbl car, she is currently equipped with a
SIX PACK carb setup. She is also an original Blue Fire metallic car with a fresh black vinyl roof. You may
recognize this winged beeper from the TV show, Counting Cars. The Count and the owner took a ride in the episode
Deep Trouble, but the owner wouldn't sell. Still donning the American Flag decals on each wing strut, she is
featured in the opening sequence of the show. Now is your chance to buy what the Count couldn't! Freshly
serviced, the only thing this 'bird needs is someone to fly it.
Exterior Description
The exterior is finished in factory correct B5 Blue Fire Metallic. The owner drives the car in summers during dry
weather only, the paint and body reflects this. Fit, finish, body lines, body panel gaps, all very good on this
car. The paint itself is strong, smooth finish all the way around, even when looking down each side of the body
at an acute angle. Doors open and close with single push of the finger. The vinyl roof is new this year.
Interior Description
The interior shows very good as well, some mild patina consistent with a well kept vehicle that is driven, enjoyed,
yet well cared for. All the accessories work, aside from the Tic Tac Toc clock, which currently runs fast. The
inconic Beep Beep! Voice of the Road Runner sounds out loud and proud. The steering wheel is original and
understored, wrapped in classic perforated leather cover. The package tray features some aftermarket stereo
speakers. Seat covers, door panels, dash, and headliner are all in very good condition, absent any significant
rips, tears, or blemmishes.
Engine Bay Description
The engine bay presents largely stock. She is a factory 440 4bbl car, currently fitted with an OE "V" code SIX
PACK set-up. The engine block is date code correct, as are the distributor, alternator, power steering pump, water
pump, exhaust manifolds, etc. The hose clamps are the typical worm-gear style, best tool for the job when you are
driving long distance road trips. Likewise, the Optima Gel Cell Battery takes the place of the vintage lead-acid
unit, because with this 'bird you are chasing the horizon, not plastic trophies.
The transmission and rear end are, according to the owner, original to the car. The entire drivetrain has been
gone through by a professional mechanic, tuned up, and dailed in. She is road ready.
Chassis Description
The undercarriage is dry as a bone, floor pans are clean and frame rails solid, consistent with a rotisserie
restored car that has been seasonally driven and well kept. The gas tank has some body color overspray that can be
stripped off as a condition of sale. Suspension, brakes and exhaust are all in excellent condition. Any cleaner
and you wouldn't want to put the car on the road.

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.

'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.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The 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.
