1971 Plymouth Road Runner
This 1971 Plymouth Road Runner is being sold to as a part of an estate which I am coordinating.
Complete with the factory 300 horse power 383 cubic inch Commando engine with three speed Torqueflight automatic
transmission. This is a two family owned car since new. Purchased in San Jose, California in 1971 and driven only
a little over 37,000 miles until 1975 before putting the car into heated inside storage for the NEXT 35 YEARS!!
Other than repainting the engine during maintenance, this car has not been detailed, steam cleaned, prepared for
show, etc. so that the buyer is able to see its true state of originality.
It is an matching number driveline car in factory Orange with the deluxe black vinyl interior. There is absolutely
zero rust or corrosion anywhere on the car. Approximately 85%+ of the car is in the factory original lacquer
paint. The top of the trunk lid and a portion of each door was touched up in lacquer in 1975 before being parked
to remedy minor scratches or door dings.
When this car emerged from its garage the first time in those 35 years, a few things had to be addressed to shake
off the cobwebs. Here are those repairs:
✔️ New Year One correct reproduction gas tank with original filler neck.
✔️ Engine and transmission were removed, new brass freeze plugs installed and re-detailed in proper Chrysler
spec paint.
✔️ New factory correct Chrysler branded Year One supplied radiator, hoses, clamps, etc.
✔️ New brake cylinders, brake hoses, brake linings and master cylinder
✔️ New factory spec exhaust from Year One
✔️ New BF Goodrich TA radial tires mounted on hemi-style steel wheels and four NOS dog dish hubcaps.
The interior of this 1971 Plymouth Road Runner is 100% original factory perfect. The only damage to anything
including perfect factory door panels, carpet, seats, dashboard and instruments is there are three small holes in
the very rear of the black headliner compliments of a small mouse who stowed away decades ago.
The factory half vinyl roof is perfect without and rust bubbles, tears, shrinkage or discoloration whatsoever.
Truly a remarkable detail.
In the photo array you will note the:
✔️ Windshield VIN tag
✔️ Driver side wheel house data plate showing exactly how this car was delivered.
✔️ Trunk lid jacking instruction tag still in place and original trunk floor mat showing perfect floor
✔️ Original ( I believe) rear spare tire is in place
✔️ Factory AM radio
✔️ All original factory graphics including the over the roof laser stripe and trunk road runner decal.
✔️ Original dealer supplied rubber floor mats
✔️ Original antifreeze tag still in place on the radiator core support
✔️ Pressure sensitive factory VIN tag label still present and perfect on drivers door jamb.
✔️Clean factory undercarriage throughout
The expression barn find or garage find just does not do the originality or condition of this Road Runner justice.
Today it seems that with reproduction parts so available that any car can be made perfect. On the other hand, a
car of this magnitude is only original once.
Today, this 1971 Plymouth Road Runner runs, drives, steers and handles like a 30k mile new car without exception.
This is the sort or car destined to become the cornerstone of any extraordinary muscle car collection.
Thank you.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The 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.
'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.
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.
