440 , Six Pack ,4 Speed , Air Grabber Hood on 2040-cars
Wyandotte, Michigan, United States
Up for sale is my 70 Roadrunner 440, six pack, "post car", pistol grip 4 speed ,w/air grabber hood. I have owned this car for almost 12 years, it is all original except the engine which was a 383 at birth. The original engine was long gone when I bought it and had been replaced with a 440. last summer I went thru the 440 and had it punched .30 over, a purple stick cam,electronic ignition, heads were done with hardened seats, it runs great on pump gas, it has headers with dual exhaust with turbo flow mufflers.I also changed the rear end ring and pinion from stock to 4:10 gears about 9 years ago.The rebuilt 440 has less than 100 miles on it. The large tach is just sitting in the original "hole " for the stock tach on the dash, the dash was not hurt, I have the "blank" for the dash and another plastic lense cover for it.{ if you wanted it back to "original"} .It has the stock am radio in the dash and I put a "pioneer super tuner" under dash am/fm cass on a slide mount which was popular in the 70"s. I replaced the gas tank last year and clear coated the new one.The front end was rebuilt with all the new nylon bushing a few years age. I really only put a couple hundred miles a year on it. I have several other cars too. The air grabber hood functions fine with a flip of the switch.I put the new Crager Wheels and tires on a few years ago but are still in great shape.It has manual steering, brakes, and windows with a bench seat. It is a post car with pop out rear windows which is the more desirable roadrunner (less flex in the body or twisting on take off). The car was basically built for racing it its day, faster and cheaper than the Mustangs and Camero's .I also have a couple of the original build sheets in frames for it. The car is very clean I took pics of the bottom the best i could. Ive owned several "high end" cars including a amphia car, superbird and 59 cadi conv. but this car was/is the most fun, I really didnt worry about this car , its not a 100k car, just a very nice driver with all the right options. (air grabber, pistol grip 4 speed,440, and six pack) and fun to drive!!. I have to tell you this is my favorite car I've owned, Thats why I have kept it all these years. Most of the cars I buy I keep 1-2 years, have some fun with them and move on to the next one (like a kid I just like new toys!!) But this one is just a great car, I'm really not sure if I want to sell it but I'm planning to move to florida and I just dont have room down there. The car is sold is as-is condition. (disclaimer) A $1000. non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hrs and the balance within 7 days via wire transfer or cash. My car will not leave my driveway until the funds clear. Please do not bid if you dont have the funds in hand, I went thru that with one of my cars when the high bidder couldnt get a loan because the car was not in his country and tied up the sale for about 3 months. This is a contract to purchase within 7 days. Feel free to come check out the car in person, you will not be disappointed . I will Not let anyone Test drive it (i will take you for a ride) due to a "Buyer" in one of my cars last year thinking he had "free pass" to do hole shots in my GTO. I was NOT happy and swore that would never happen again. Any questions you can contact me at 734-845-6564 after 9am to midnight eastern time. Thanx for looking... |

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.
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.
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.
