1970 Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird on 2040-cars

Year:1970 Mileage:1050

Windsor, Connecticut, United States

 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner Superbird "Tribute". This car was completely rebuilt on a rotisserie from an original 1970 Roadrunner. Every nut, bolt and screw was removed for this restoration. It has an original metal wing, all steel front Coronet fenders and steel hood with steel hood extension just as the factory did. The nosecone is fiberglass but the headlight buckets are steel like the original. It uses the same vacuum operated headlight actuators as original and has a steel latch tray. The engine is a completely rebuilt 440 cubic inch engine and was rebuilt using head gaskets with larger coolant holes. The radiator is new and has a new shroud. The transmission is a rebuilt 727 automatic. The rear end was rebuilt with new bearings and seals. There is a new fuel tank and sender and all the fuel and brake lines are new. The interior is new with new seat covers, carpet, headliner, door panels and package tray. All weatherstrip is new. All gauges were cleaned and work properly. The steering column was also rebuilt. The suspension has all new bushings. The window plug is installed and has a lexan rear window with new stainless molding produced by AMD. (At the time of restoration glass was not available, but can be sourced now). Body stiffeners were added to help with body flex that occurred on the original due to the extra weight on the nose and trunk. It has power brakes with front disks and power steering just like to original. It has both jacks although the Superbird only jack is a copy.

This roadrunner was an a/c car as you can see from the engine compartment photo. It still has the evaporator coil and controls. Since it isn't a "real" Superbird, and should be driven, it was my intent to use the a/c. I didn't get around to sourcing the compressor and condensor but they are available if you wish to add them. With the bigger head gasket holes there hasn't been any cooling issues. If the factory was going to build an a/c Superbird, this would be it. If you always wanted a Wing Car, but couldn't afford the real ones or are afraid to drive it, then this is the next best thing at a fraction of the cost.

A paypal deposit of $500.00 is required at auctions end and a bank check or cash is required for balance of payment.

'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.

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.

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.
