1969 Plymouth Barracuda notchback coupe in pretty good condition in and out.. I'm the 2nd owner, Original owner was from Charlotte NC... Car has a clear NC Title in my name..... Engine has 19k on it, Trans has 13k on it and the original Body has 119k on it.... This car has only been rained on about 20 times since I've had it for 13yrs, and was garage kept by the original owner since 1969...
This is not by any means a show car but its very presentable in and out and its in a cool survivor condition and turns alot of heads, I like it just the way it is...
These little Notchbacks are kinda hard to find for sale so you better jump on this baby roadrunner looking ride asap, especially in this condition...
Tmi warning - I'm very honest about my car...
Non-Smoker, theres never ever been a cigarette smoked in this car by me or the original owner, the ashtray is very clean and shows no signs of anything ever put out in it.....
Motor and Head - were Professionally Rebuilt by Poteat Engines in Kannapolis NC and has less then 20k on it since being rebuilt 8yrs ago, 225ci slant 6 cylinder engine was bored .030 over, with a very mild New Cam and new high volume oil pump... I had hardened Valve seats installed in the Heads to burn unleaded gas... Motor runs like a champ with no knocks whatsoever on rods or mains... The 1920 Holly 1 barrel Carburator needs replaced, it was bought new for the rebuild 8yrs ago but now wants to stumble and knock off at idol at red lights, so this car needs a new Carburator... Rear Engine seal has the usual drip.... Car runs cool and has never been overheated... Holds really good Oil Prssure... BUT - forget about all that cause you'll probably want to put a built small block V8 in it anyhow, so forget about the 6 banger... I won't buy a new carburator for the car because whoever buys it will probably stick a V8 in it anyhow, so that would be a waste of $200 dollars for me.... The motor starts right up and runs fine and you can hear it run right now but started the stumbling at idle thing recently, just 2 months ago....
Transmission - The 904 Transmission was professionally rebuilt with new Torque Converter by All Star Transmission in Monroe NC and only has 13k on it, works perfect as it should....
Has a good 7 1/4" Rear End with no issues...
This would make a great Power Tour Car!!!.. Good on gas and won't overheat!!
This Car was my everyday driver for the last 2yrs.. I drove this car on a 10hr ride each way from Charlotte NC to Nashville Tenn 2yrs ago and it got 24mi per gallon at 80mph on I-40 and the motor ran good and cool with no issues... I've had this car tagged and drove it since 2006... A very dependable car until the Carburator messed up a few months ago, I go on long trips all the time several hour drive away and never been let down or had a problem...
Parts - I put a new gas tank, new wheel bearings, new brakes, new shocks, and new exhaust system were all done during rebuild 7yrs ago... Manuel Steering box is tight, Manuel 9" drum brakes... This is a Radio Delete car from the factory (factory face plate plug in dash and no Antenna hole in fender)... Has Dealer add on A/C goes with this car... The Trim Plate under the hood with Trim Plate Codes on it is missing but doesn't matter, it was only a 6 cylinder car anyhow..
Interior - is really good, has new custom molded carpet only 3 months old, new wiper seals installed too, I just put new slip covers on the original high back front bucket seats but they really need recovering, all 4 door panels are original and in great cond with no cuts or tears, back seat is original with no tears in great condition, headliner is original with no tears in great condition, the visors are good with no tears, the plastic dash has no breaks or cracks and is one of the best original dashes I've ever seen with the most amount of chrome left on the ribs, dash pad and dash are very good, glove box is good... All gauges work great and I have an "Economy Gauge" that fits in the small center gauge hole that goes with this car.. The original back under glass deck board is good too,, armrest are good too...
Body - original color is Orange, not the Red it has now, this car was repainted Red in 1974-5 or so.. The big rear trunk molding is mint, worth an easy $500, the floor pans are mint and only had the slightest minimal surface rust in a few small places when I put the new carpet in a few months ago, I have pics.. Some rust in the trunk but nothing major and needs a small patch or two there... Some very small lower quarter rust both sides and needs a few very small patches there... Dent in passenger rocker panel.. Driver side outer grill bezel has some damage in corner around the headlight, the actual grills are very good with no breaks, just the one bezel.... Some rusty bubbles under the vinyl top around the back window just like all the vinyl top cars get but nothing serious.... Vinyl top has a few small cracks that I filled with white silicone and has not gotten any worse since I got the car 13yrs ago... Some small rusty spots below front window... Overall the paint job is presentable with minor nicks, a few small dimple dings, and some scratches, but no big dings or dents.. There is some bondo in the left rear quater panel and its evident from looking in from the trunk, have a pic......I buffed the paint job when I put it on the road in 2006... Trim Plate is missing.... The doors, door hinges, hood and trunk all open and shut fine with no issues.... All the small little rusty spots on this car are the same as when I bought this car 13yrs ago and have not grown any bigger, same with the vinyl top cause I keep the car indoors.... Car looks like a good survivor like it is or you can do a little metal work and repaint it, it doesn't really need much metal work to paint it....
Small bolt pattern Sport Rims and the Cooper Cobra 70 wide tires have about half the tread left on them....
I have more pictures I can send you of the little rusty spots, the dented rocker panel and the broken grill bezel...
This car should Not be driven home due to the bad carburator, I'm not responsible or liable for accidents or mishaps once the car leaves my property in your possession... I recommend that you Trailer this car home...
Buyer is 100% responsible to arrange for pick up and shipping...
Feel free to ask any questions between 9am-11pm eastern standard time 704-425-8858, Thanks, Mark
This car is available for final payment and pick up anytime between 9am-11pm 7 days a week for the 10 Days after the Auction Ends... Thanks, Mark

'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.
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.
