 1965 Plymouth Fury III Convertible 426 Street Wedge

You are looking at a very rare, 1965 Plymouth Fury III convertible with the factory equipped Commando 426/365h.p. street wedge engine, automatic transmission, power steering, and power top. The drivetrain is factory and numbers correct. The car is documented with the factory fender tag and punch certi-card(photos included). I purchased this car just over 3yrs ago as a #4 condition project with the engine being newly rebuilt at that time.  Since that time, it has received the following restoration work and has been driven less than 500 miles.

*The car has undergone a sub-frame off restoration.

*There are very few new parts available for this car, so most of the original parts have been rebuilt or restored( new parts were used when available).

*New base/clear paint including under carriage (done in a darker shade of red metallic than the factory standard red).

*All chrome was re-plated and all stainless straightened and polished.

*New 15-inch Torq-Thrust II wheels with new red line radial tires.

*New fuel pump, water pump, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, plug wires, and distributor.

*Newly rebuilt washer motor.

*Carburator received a premium restoration from Bob Kunz-St. Louis.

*Radiator newly re-cored.

*New voltage regulator, horn relay, and heat regulator.

*All gauges were checked, cleaned, and new circuit board installed and are functional with the exception of the clock.

*Refurbished AM radio in working condition.

*Gas tank was power cleaned and sealed with Hirsch tank sealer system.

*New fuel sender.

*New safety belts.

*New brake lines.

*New bushings, bearings, and U-joints.

*New stainless fuel lines.

*Flowmaster exhaust system.

*Transmission rebuilt.

*New black convertible top.

*Front end alignment.

*New weather stripping and seals.

*New interior carpet.

*New hoses, headlamps, and battery.

I have tried to describe everything that was done during the restoration. There are a couple of negative things about the car and they are: The door and side windows are original and have normal scratches because of age. The passenger door glass is missing a clip that holds it firm in the front vent window track, and so it sags when you roll it up or down(I have tried to locate one but have not been successful). After the car sits for a few days, it will seep trans-fluid around the pan gasket(I have had the gasket changed several times and it still seeps). You cannot find factory replacement seat covers, so the seats were recovered in correct material but don't have factory pattern. The clock does not work. Please email me with any questions and thanks for looking. The car is available for inspection anytime during normal business hours. Please contact me and I will be glad to accommodate you to view the vehicle. There are no written or implies warranties for the item. The buyer is responsible for all transport arrangements and cost. The payment is to be made within 7 days of auctions end and payment must be made with bank certified funds or wire transfer. We reserve the right to end the auction and anytime. Thanks and good luck bidding!!!!

'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.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

The 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.
