1971 Plymouth 383 Road Runner 1 of 7952 383 automatics produced, original N96 air grabber, high impact color car. Professional “rotisserie” restoration recently completed by Huffman Auto Body. Huffman Auto Body has won multiple first place awards at National events such as the Mopar Nationals and Chryslers at Carlisle. This is the owner’s personal car and has been restored to a very high standard. The car was restored back to the original fender tag options. The original fender tag is on the car (no reproduction). The original broadcast sheet also is included with the car. The only added options are power steering, power disk brakes and spoilers.
Since the restoration the car has been driven for one summer to mainly local shows (~3000 miles) with a total of 94,218 miles showing on the odometer. This is an opportunity to own one of nicest 1971 Road Runners in the county at price significantly less than the restoration cost. When comparing this car to other cars on the market, you should consider the quality, level of detail and amount of new parts used on this car. There are other 1971 Road Runners on the market for sale for less money, but I do not believe you will find a better value
The dash VIN, Engine, Radiator Support and Original Fender Tag numbers all match. The transmission is not numbers matching and there is no VIN stamped in the cowl.
I have included a list of parts that add up to ~$24,000 used during the extensive restoration. If you are looking for a true “turn key”, professionally restored car that needs nothing, this is the car for you. I have sold several cars on eBay over the past 13 years and have always received positive feedback. I am not a dealer, just a hobbyist and it is important to me that the buyer is satisfied with the car. You can be assured I have described the car to the best of my knowledge and will answer your questions honestly.
It is still buyer’s market for muscle cars and this car is priced accordingly. It would be nearly impossible to find an original 71 383 Road Runner and restore it to this level for my reserve price on this car.

'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.
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.
