I am relisting because of an irresponsible bidder. Please bid only if you have the ability and intent to buy the car for the amount of your high bid.
- Interior: New headliner and carpet. The seats look great with no tears or cracks. There are a couple buttons missing from driver seat from snagging on pants. Seats are in like new condition otherwise. I have some replacement buttons I will include. The plastic door panels are in fair condition and in need of replacement to make interior perfect. The dash has a few cracks on the top but I have a molded dash cover that will go on it and make the dash look like new. I have one on my Challenger and you can't tell it's there. It looks like the factory dash cap. I have not installed it but will include it in the sale. Slapstick shifter with console looks great. Gauges all work as they should. Rear view mirror shows its age and could use replacing. It has the typical black spots that mirror get with age. An aftermarket steering wheel was installed by the previous owner. I have an original steering wheel for the car that I will include with the car.
- Drivetrain: The 318 Motor was rebuilt by the previous owner approximately two years ago and has less than 5K miles on it. The automatic transmission was also rebuilt at the same time. Car drives great with plenty of power and has no leaks or noises in the motor. The rear end makes no noise and the brakes stop as they should. The car is mechanically sound with no known issues. This is an air conditioned car. The compressor is mounted but the condenser and hoses are not installed. I all have the hoses, brackets and what looks like a near new condenser ready to go in. All you will need to add is a new compressor. The car drives straight and steering is crisp with no play. The car drives great.
- Body: The body is very straight and solid. The paint is very shiny and has no orange peel or fading. No significant scratches or dents. It's a really sharp looking car. The floor pans and trunk pans are perfect. It looks like the trunk pan was replaced at some point. They did a gpod job of it. The bumpers are good but not concourse show quality. They have some slight pitting and a few blemishes from age. They still shine up great and look nice. They are not dented or bent. The guy who previously painted the car painted the engine compartment black. and did a nice job of it. I personally don't like it but will leave that to the next owner to change if they desire. Most people never even give it a second thought but I like the engine compartment to be body color. The engine and transmission were painted body color. Again, not my first choice but it was done well. The windshield wiper assembly is missing one control rod. I have the wipers and all hardware except the one piece of linkage. I also have a brand new wiper motor that I will include. I never drive it in the rain so it hasn't been a priority for me. This is a great car to cruise around in. It is a real attention getter and you will be proud to own it. BF Goodrich TA tires are like new with 275-60-15 in the back and 225/60/15 in the front. The brakes and suspension are in great shape too.

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.
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.
