For sale is my 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible with a Commando 273 V-8; the original carter 4 barrel carburator and a floor shifted 904 automatic transmission. The car has under gone a complete restoration as it's an extremely rare color and engine combination. The exterior is PP1 bright red with a very desirable pearl white interior and matching white power convertible top. This car was sold in June 1967 at the Tupelo Plymouth Dealership (Mississippi) and spend it's life there until 2007. When I found the car the body was as solid as they come for a 1967 convertible since it was safely stored away since 1988. The car was stripped down to a rolling shell to begin the restoration. I hired JD's team at JD's Body and Paint, to strip the car to bare metal replaced both the rear floor pans, the front passenger floor pan as well as 6" of the lower passenger quarter panel behind the rear wheel. Then they primered and wet sanded it smooth before applying the base clear in the original color, PP1 Bright Red . For those MOPAR fans that read Mopar Muscle Magazine you should recognize this professional paint and body shop for the work they've done over the years on numerous projects.
The car has manual Kelsey-Hayes disc front brakes and 10" rear drum brakes that were completely rebuilt by Master Power Brakes with all new parts. All new stainless steel brake lines and emergency brake cable with a new master cylinder. New carpet, new convertible top with glass windows, new boot, new well liner, new raised white letter tires with the factory optionee mag wheel covers on the original 14" stamped steel wheels. New front to rear wiring harness with the engine harness upgraded to an electric ignition, all new door seals, window felts, window cranks, door cards, dual chrome side mirrors, new windshield, new door arm rests, arm rest pads, new trunk cover, spare tire cover, restored bumper jack and restored bucket seat tracks. There are way too many new parts to name, as I've invested over $30k restoring this American classic to it's current condition so she could live to enjoy another day.
The front suspension has also been completely restored with a deluxe front end rebuild kit from PST with poly bushings to improve handling. I completely restored the k-member, UCA's and LCA's with sway bar tabs by media blastings them and epoxy primered and painted them. The power steering gear box and pump where also professionally rebuilt to original factory specs. The undercarriage has been restored and shows as well as the rest of the car.
The engine, carburetor and transmission where all professionally rebuilt and have less than 100 miles since installed. The engine was bored 40 over and the heads had a performance valve job that included cleaning up the bowls to improve the air flow. The Commando 273 HP came from the factory with solid lifters and adjustable rocker arms and I saw no reason to deviate from these factory "goodies". I purchased all the original engine fasteners from Rob's Parts to keep everything as OEM as possible. The alternator, starter, water pump, fuel pump, stainless steel fuel line, motor mounts, transmission mount, fuel tank, fuel sending unit, fuel tank insulation, plug wires, coil, spark plugs and an up-graded 1973 electronic distributor was installed. The engine was professionally broke in by the engine builder of Racing Products in Summerfield, Florida. I have the original build sheet and fender tag as well as photos that document the entire restoration process.
The car is being sold as is where is with no written or implied warrantee. I encourage all serious bidder to ask questions prior to bidding. You are welcome to come and personally inspect the vehicle to confirm its condition. You will not be disappointed. The car must be paid in full within 10 days and picked up no later than 21 days.

'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 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.
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.
