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! |

'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.
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.
