Orofino, Idaho, United States

This auction is for a 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 440 SixPack. Car was a 383 air grabber, Dark Burnt Orange car originally. I purchased this car from the step son of a deceased gentle man so I don't have all the specifics but will do my best to describe them. To start off I have to say this is probably the most powerful car I have owned. It goes 0 to holy crap in a straight line very quickly, when you go from 2 to 6 barrels it will make a heroin junkie come out of a coma with a smile. The motor is obviously a 440 that has been stroked. To what size I am not sure without some disassembly. It has Edelbrock aluminum heads with Comp roller rockers, not sure how big of a cam but healthy, aluminum intake, headers. Compression is up there because it likes high octane fuel, minimum super with octane booster. Aluminum radiator, MSD 6al box with 7000 rpm chip and MSD dist. and wires. I can't explain how impressive the power is. It just keeps pulling. I think it would smoke my blown Cuda actually and it just stays straight. Motor is hooked to a TCI Trans. with a high stall converter and a TCI Outlaw shifter. Has a driveshaft safety loop and a Posi rear, Not sure of ratio but overall a great combo. I would guess he raced it occasionally because of the front wheel studs, master battery shut off, drive shaft safety loop and pit pass from Firebird raceway in the glovebox. Paint is nice, not show quality but really pretty, does have some scratches/ chips on rocker below drivers door and around trunk but high impact color makes you not notice them. All the sheet metal appears original except for trunk pan and drivers quarter. Interior has nice seats, carpet and door panels. Headliner is original and has been stitched up by rear window, needs replaced. Console is cracked and missing rear cover, dash pad has a crack or two. All gauges and lights work. Auto Meter tach with shift light. Grille and bumpers are original so they show there lifespan of time. Car is manual steering, manual brakes. Air grabber switch needs hooked up, vac lines are not hooked up from switch. Runs and drives awesome. Please check out video's and pictures and ask questions. I have drove this car quite a bit and have tried to describe it the best I can. If I missed anything it is not intentional. If you would like additional info please ask. Buyer to pay for and arrange shipping. Happy bidding!!!!   Here is the fender tag decoded.

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.

'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.

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.
