Unrestored Low Mileage Original Paint & Interior Super Survivor Show Winner on 2040-cars
Riverside, California, United States
This 1970 Road Runner is in amazing original condition. I would venture to say it truly is one of the finest unrestored 1970 MOPARS to be found anywhere. It has won past national shows in survivor class and is currently featured in this months June issue of Hemmings Muscle Machine Magazine. The Hemmings editor did a test drive for the feature just weeks before the article came out in June and loved the way this '70 Road Runner drove. It really is one of the best driving Mopars I have ever driven as it drives just like it came off the showroom floor in 1970. I believe pictures are worth a thousand words so I will let the pictures do the majority of the talking. The original owner babied this vehicle from new until 1991 when the second owner purchased it with only 43K on it after an extensive search to find the best all original Road Runner he could possibly find and buy. Since that time it has strictly been used for shows and special occasions traveling a little over a thousand miles a year and I have owned this Road Runner for around ten years of that time. The drive train is numbers matching and has never been apart and runs as smooth and powerful as the day it was made. Suspension is tight and again simply feels as good as the day it drove out of the showroom. Please check out the pictures carefully and I think you will see you would be hard pressed to locate a nicer unrestored muscle car in a body style, color combo, or this great original condition anywhere. This Road Runner does have a perfect original: build sheet, dash vin plate, door tag, fender tag, and good owner history information.
Quick notes: 1) I have put the correct high-end Mopar maintenance free, concourse & period correct with red caps battery into the Road Runner and the new battery does appear in the magazine feature pictures and is what is now in and will stay with the Road Runner. 2) This Road Runner is in excellent over-all mechanical condition to my knowledge and I am not aware of any mechanical issues that need attention. She starts easy cold or warm, never runs hot, and absolutely runs fantastic. A real pleasure to drive. 3) you may come inspect this vehicle during the auction run time. Just call me at (626)602-4054 and make arrangements. My name is Kurt 4) I reserve the right to end auction early should the Road Runner be sold prior to auction ending or any other reason and no longer be available for sale 5) When I purchased this Road Runner, it actually came with a set of 14" Rally rims. I removed the 14" rims and put the 15" Rally rims with Good Year Ployglas tires off my '70 convertible Cuda onto this car to give it a more aggressive look. I am willing to negotiate a lower price than the $42,500 if you are willing to let me keep the 15" Rally rims now on the Road Runner and you purchase it with the 14" Rallys that came on it when I bought it. The 14" Rallys look almost identical, just one inch diameter smaller and have radial tires mounted on them instead of ply tires. |

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.
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.
