Up for sale is my 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner. This Roadrunner has been owned by the same family since the early 70's, and has not been registered in years. I picked up up about 6 months ago as this body style has always been one of my favorites. I am currently restoring a couple 67 Plymouths and this one is going to be sitting for a while so I figured I would offer it up to someone who will get to it a little sooner. It still retains its original 340 and automatic transmission as well as its 8 3/4 3.23 sure grip. The car starts right up and drives. I drive it around the block occasionally to keep it going. The family I bought it from also gave me some pictures of the car from the early 70's when they used to drive it. I have a clear title for the car, and I was able to find the build sheet in the driver seat, but like a few others I have found over the years, The sequence number is slightly off. This was common back in the manufacturing process to just grab whatever seats that were matching the color they needed. I am including a lot of pictures of the car, and tried to get as detailed as I could. It was hard to get a good picture of the engine and tranny numbers, but you can tell in the pictures and I assure you it is numbers matching. The car does have quite a bit of rust. Someone started an amateur restoration sometime in the past, so there are some repairs that have been done with fiberglass. If you are going to restore this car it will need to be stripped down to see what rust repair needs to be done. The front floor pans are pretty good, but the rear ones will need to be replaced. There is rust in the lower quarters and lower front fenders behind the tires. The Dutchman panel has some rust, but the rear window corners are not bad. The trunk drip rails have rust and I believe the trunk floor has some spots. It is full of interior parts. There has been a repair to the drivers side inner fender at some point in the cars history. You can see where a section was welded in from another car. I believe the Frame rails have some rust, but all of that stuff is reproduced now. The odometer reads 88,xxxx miles, and the family says that is actual. look at the pictures, and if you are interested go ahead and place a bid or make an offer. The old picture is of the car back in the early 70's. It would only let me put 24 pictures in, so if you need more just ask. Also you are welcome to come take a look at car in person. Feel free to ask any questions.

'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.
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.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before 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.
