1973 Plymouth Roadrunner (clone) on 2040-cars
Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, United States
I'm relisting this car due to a buyer who turned out not to be one! This time around, I've also lowered the BIN price, and set the reserve lower too. Up for sale is my 1973 Plymouth Satellite, which was nicely cloned into the legendary Roadrunner with correct emblems and decals, including the beep beep horn! Most classic enthusiasts agree that 73 was the last year of the true muscle era, so here's your chance to own an affordable piece of Classic Mopar Muscle. These fuselage body Mopar's are gaining in popularity and the investment values are increasing too. Unfortunately I don't know a lot about the history of this car, but I can tell you it runs great, sounds great, and turns a lot of heads. Not a trailer queen by any means, but it's a nice driver quality car that can be enjoyed and driven today. PA inspection was just done in June, 2014. I would say the paint is a 7 out of 10, with a few minor chips and blemishes. It looks very nice from 15 ft, and certainly gets a lot of thumbs up driving down the road. Interior is very clean, and there are no tears in the upholstery or cracks in the dash. Good tread on the tires, and the dog-dish hubs give it a extra aggressive look! Engine bay is also clean. I believe the motor to be the original 318 CID, regardless of the 340 4-barrel emblems in the engine photo. The photos should give you a good indication of this cars condition, but I'll be more than happy to answer any specific questions. Please call at 724-561-9355 if you have any....I'll do my best to answer specifics. This car can be driven confidently today, and for the overall condition you'll have a tough time finding a better classic mopar for the money. Bid with confidence, and good luck! |

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.
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.

'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.
