SELLER REMARKS

This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner isn't going to last long on the showroom floor. They never do. It must be the combination of in-your-face audacity with Limelight Green paint, big block power, and the no-frills attitude that makes these cars so popular year-in and year-out. Don't say we didn't warn you.


Chrysler's High-Impact colors were the talk of the industry in 1970 and today when you show up in a car like this it gets everyone talking. And yes, this is a correct FJ5 Limelight Green car, restored to as-delivered specs and completely unapologetic about it. It was painted in 1993, but it's so well preserved that you'd think it was painted much more recently and the finish gets the color exactly right. No metallic, no modern takes on an old favorite, just the bold fluorescent green that practically defined Mopar muscle. And if you're going to attract this kind of attention, you'd better get the bodywork right, too, so they took their time to put it together far more carefully than the factory could manage. Not perfect, but you can see the hours of block sanding that went into it before the glowing paint went on. It also got a blacked out hood treatment and a set of proper Road Runner dust trails running down its flanks (experts will note that there is a left side and a right side, and this one was done correctly). Out back there's a Go-Wing above a blacked-out tail panel that amped up the aggression over the 1969 models. Nice chrome bumpers are almost subtle on a car that looks like this and the fine-toothed grille remains in very good condition.


The interior is miraculously almost entirely original. Yes, it's industrial-strength with a front bench, but it needs no excuses with a 4-speed pistol grip shifter there in the center, proving that it was built for combat. Only the carpets have been replaced, and the reproduction threads use the correct nap and weave for a factory-correct look and the original stuff is so nice that nothing really looks out of place. It's got a full complement of Rallye gauges, including a Tick-Tock-Tach, so the guy spec'ing out the order form knew what he was doing. Newer upgrades include a modern A/C system and an AM/FM/CD stereo head unit neatly grafted into the dash where the Music Master AM unit used to live. The trunk is still wearing its original paint as well as the factory-issued mat that's in remarkably good shape.


The 383 cubic inch V8 under the hood has a few choice upgrades to make it reliable, most notably the MSD ignition system, but the heavy-duty torque factory runs like a stocker. The twin-snorkel air cleaner wears correct decals and Hemi Orange paint on the block stands out in sharp contrast to the glowing Limelight Green paint. It starts easily and pulls through all four gears like it's trying to escape from something, and the sound from the twin Flowmasters is simply amazing. The underside shows off years of clean living down south, and while there's no power steering or brakes, you'll probably discover that you don't miss them in this car. Handsome Magnum 500 wheels are always a great choice on 1970s muscle and they're wrapped in fat 14-inch white-letter radials for a sporty look.


Not for the faint-of-heart, this high-visibility Mopar more than delivers on the promises made by the outrageous paint job. Like I said, you probably shouldn't be waiting on this one, call now!

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The 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.

'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.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The 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.
