1971 Plymouth Barracuda Cuda
Here is a really nice example of a correct, all numbers matching, unusually optioned Plymouth Cuda. You may have seen this one featured in the May 2014 issue of Mopar Collectors Guide magazine ... yet another one of those very rare factory-optioned packages that likely is the only one in existence.
This one was rumored to have been ordered new by a female and was delivered from a dealership in New York State. Subsequent ownership history was/is patchy, but the original build sheet and fender tag stayed in tact and well preserved. Engine and transmission stampings match the VIN and build sheet as they should. It underwent a full rotisserie restoration approximately 5 years ago, is painted the correct GB5 bright blue metallic with black vinyl top. The only options added that do NOT match the build sheet are the black bill boards and 15 rallye wheels. It originally had 14 steel wheels, 3461401 full wheel covers, and F-78 white wall tires. The fender tag reads:
451635 build sequence number N1B 383 c.i.; 1971; Hamtramck plant BS23 Plymouth; special price class; 2-dr hardtop D32 A727 auto. Trans. E65 383 / 4bbl; 300 h.p. 93280 order code 709 build date: 7/9/71 000 full door panels H4B5 split bench seat; blue vinyl GB5 bright blue metallic body color J45 hood pins J25 3-speed wiper motor B51 power disc brakes A45 spoiler package, front and rear U USA specification V1X black vinyl roof M25 body sill moldings M21 drip rail moldings L34 road lamps J81 rear spoiler J78 front spoiler J54 sport hood R35 AM/FM/MX 10-watt stereo radio N42 exhaust tips N41 dual exhaust system M88 deck molding treatment M31 body belt moldings **Also included is a custom indoor car cover from California Car Covers, $400 value.
Given all of the above cool options she was ordered with,
the build sheet shows the non-rally dash, column shift, left side only chrome
rear view mirror, and 8-3/4 peg leg with 3:23 gears. These features were retained during the restoration to keep the car correct.
I want you to be fully informed and all questions answered before you make a commitment, and your expectations exceeded if you win the auction. The car can be made available for you to see in person and I can add more pictures if you need to see something in particular. Feel free to email me @ b.bagley@bagleytractor.com or call Bill (903) 736-0495 to get your questions answered or make an appointment. The successful bidder will be required to post a $500 deposit via PayPal within 24 hours after the auction ends, and payment in-full within ten days of auction close. Transportation will be the winning bidders responsibility, but I will be glad to help with making arrangements and scheduling for pick-up. Payment-In-Full must be verified and confirmed before the car will be released.
Good Luck! |

'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.
