1960 Plymouth Fury Convertible - 57 58 59 Dodge Desoto Chrysler Era on 2040-cars
Dearborn Heights, Michigan, United States
|
Here is a rare and beautiful example of the 1960 Plymouth Fury convertible. It has a rebuilt 361 Golden Commando motor, four barrel carb, dual exhaust, voltage regulator, radiator and water pump. New in 2007 were top, battery, carpet, weatherstripping. The car starts up easily and has a lot of power and speed on the road. It shifts up really well and you can pass someone easily after sitting at a red light. It has power steering and power brakes. The motorized convertible top works perfectly. Speedometer works perfectly and is the unique "thermometer" kind which raises a red chip every five miles of speed you go. The car does not smoke, does not burn oil or coolant. I recently had the sides freshly painted and they are beautiful. Doors open and close as they should. Lips under the doors are clean and still have original black paint on. Rockers have surface powder rust but are excellent. Master brake cylander new in 2013. One new wheel cylander in 2013. Distributor, rotor and wires redone in 2012. Driver's side ball joints new in 2014. Driver's side control arm bushings new in 2014. Chrome and stainless are gorgeous all around and look almost new. Trunk has rust and small holes, plus two stainless patches. Frame has hole between driver's front wheel and bumper. Brakes good but one rear wheel squeaks sometimes with hard braking. Plastic back window is hard to zip up--it's so tight it won't go around first corner (but plastic is in excellent condition). This car originally had a 45 RPM record player in it, but the previous owner took it out. Radio still spells out HI-FI. F If interested, I can do special "Buy It Now" listings for the original shop manual, $300 worth of front suspension parts I never got around to installing and as well as $50 shop manual and spare hubcap for $30. Summer cruising is about to start...don't get left out. Turn more heads than anyone else on the road in this rare and hot car. Any questions, please ask before bidding. I will provide any additional details you want. Car is sold as is, no warranties of any kind. |

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.
'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.
