The optional equipment on this Cuda is really as good as it gets for Mopar collectors and listed in this auction is the entire factory window sticker. I will list all the important numbers on this Cuda as well. The 440 engine is a factory replacement block which is the correct date code 01-16-1970 and is stamped casting #2536430.6 with a blank pad in front is believed to be replaced on factory warranty. It still retains all of its original factory equipped and extremely rare six-pack carburetor setup and intake. Very important the radiator is the original and the radiator support is #’s matching as well as the #’s matching vin. stamped cowl. According to the Plymouth registry, this Cuda is one of only 902 440/Six Pack /4-speed’s produced and then you must factor in all of the other extremely rare options on the window sticker and that production numbers drop-off considerably. The 440 motor runs out 100% and has simply breath-taking performance and it will run right along side any Hemi with ease. Its tremendous power is mated to the original numbers matching 4-Speed transmission cast #C98129H and it still has the famed original pistol grip shifter intact as well. Also numbers matching is the original Dana rear. Driving this Cuda will make a believer out of anyone whoever doubted the elite values bestowed upon this highly coveted and sought after muscle car. There really has never been anything like it before or after it was created and there is no equal in the investment world of muscle cars. Simply stated this is arguably the best muscle car investment money can buy dollar for dollar and one of the rarest by such limited production numbers. The mechanicals of this Cuda are superb and totally turn-key.

'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.
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.
