1973 Plymouth Duster Demon For 340 Conversion on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
|
Hello, up for sale is my 1973 Plymouth Duster. At some point, someone put a Dodge Dart Demon front end on it....not correct but looks good. I have other projects going on and don't have time to work on this one. This car starts and runs! , however it needs work of course for a 41 year old car lol. It still has it's number matching 198 slant six and a 3 speed manual transmission on the column. It has typical Mopar rust areas that need to be repaired. The frame rails are in good shape, but needs floor pans replaced front and rear, and trunk floor repair. The rest of the body looks pretty good....as far as I can tell there is very little rust anywhere on this vehicle. Body and sheet metal parts are fairly inexpensive for this car and can be found many places, including classicindustries.com and autometaldirect.com , two very good sources for restoration parts. Just the grille on this car is worth some money....it is a grille for a 1972 Dart/Demon and it is in very good shape. It has rallye wheels that are in good shape....just need refinishing. The dash pad and all of the interior parts are still available....the seat covers on this car aren't original, but in great shape...no rips or tears. This vehicle would be great restored as original, or a perfect candidate for a 340 engine conversion, especially since it is already a standard transmission car. For you Mopar people, the fender tag reads from top line to bottom as follows: 1st line JY3 11 EK2, 2nd line JY3 D2Y4 000 403 118425, and 3rd line E22 D14 VL29 B3B 427235. I have a clear Texas title for this car. The engine on this car starts and idles smoothly, and the clutch works well. The brakes need work and I would not drive this vehicle until they are fixed. I do accept Pay Pal, and certified cashier checks only. A $500.00 deposit is required within 48 hours after auction end. I am making this a reserve auction, but the reserve is very low. Bid with confidence, and bid to win, but only if you are serious. This car can be shipped anywhere in the United States. I will not ship the car, but know of several transport companies that can quote shipping costs to you. This vehicle is also for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end auction early if sold here. If you have any questions, you can call/text me at 832-888-2637 my name is Steve. Thank you for looking and have a blessed day....

'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.
