Up for auction this week is a 1971 Plymouth Road Runner. It is equipped NOM 383 Magnum engine backed by a 727 Torqueflite transmission. This is an original GW3 white car with black interior. This is a great running driving car that needs cosmetic restoration. It also has power steering and power brakes. The rear is 8 3/4 suregrip. The wheels are correct 14" rallyes. The structure of this Road Runner is very solid with no rust in the frame rails or torsion bar mounts. This car will need rust repair at the wheel lips and lower rear of both quarters. Now that quarter skins are available, it would probably be best to replace both skins. There is only one spot in the floor pan that needs repair directly in front of the seat there is a hole about 8" in diameter that will need repaired. The doors need repair at the lower corners only. There is one spot on the driver's side of the vinyl top that will need a small patch put in at the top of the post. The trunk floor is very nice and does NOT need to be replaced. The hood and decklid are also very nice. The interior was originally a black bench, automatic on column. The bucket seats in the car now are very comfortable, but very wrong. The original seat cover is on the back seat under the red cloth cover on it now. The door panels are excellent and so is the dashpad. The headliner will need to be replaced because of stitching coming out between seams. The car has a new winshield and all other glass is good. This is a good driving car and cranks great every time out. The brakes are very good on the road, but a little hard idling in traffic due to the camshaft in the engine. (Purple Shaft) This is a great car to restore because you can know that the mechanicals are all good and only cosmetic issues exist. Drive this car the rest of the summer and easily restore it over the winter. This car sounds great and is strong. Here is a listing of the fender tag.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars
Sat, 18 Jan 2014The 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.

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.
'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.
