1974 Plymouth Satellite, Roadrunner, Gtx on 2040-cars
Wirtz, Virginia, United States
|
This is a 1974 Plymouth. I believe it is a Satellite from the vin code, however a previous owner has rebadged it as a GTX. I bought the car for a project about a year ago. The previous owner told me that it used to have a 440 in it, but there was no engine/transmission that came with the car. I purchased a low mileage 440 and transmission that came from an RV and it goes with the car. The body is relatively straight with one dent near the hood release (see photo). There is rust in the rear quarters and the driver's front floor board is rusted from an apparent leaking windshield. There is some rust spots near the bottom of the back windshield, but it has not rusted thru. The rest of the floor pans look good, as does the trunk pan. The grill is in the trunk of the car, along with a driveshaft, new dash pad, and other parts. It does have dual exhaust all the way back. The front seat is not bolted in and there is no headliner. The speedometer is labeled "certified" and the previous owner told me that the car started life in police service in NC. I have not heard the engine run, as it was already out of the RV before I bought it. However it does turn over freely. It does have a Holley 4bbl, and comes with the pulleys, alternator, and starter. I pulled the timing chain cover to look inside the motor and see that it has a double roller chain, and a windage tray. The transmission has a truck-style tail shaft that should be replaced with the tail shaft from a car (so the splined drive shaft will slide into it). I have the title signed by the previous owner, and have not registered the car in my name. The DMV incorrectly keyed two digits of the vin number on the title. They placed a 'O' in the spot that denotes the engine size and in the spot denoting the assembly plant. I don't think this is a big deal, but I want to be up front with anyone interested. I don't have the time or money to fix this car, and I don't want to tear into it only to come up short on funds and have an unfinished project taking up space in my shop. It is a good platform for building a muscle car or even a street/strip car. This car is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to cancel the auction if it sells. If you would like more information or pictures, please contact me. Persons with less than 5 positive feedbacks need to contact me before bidding, or I will cancel those bids. Thanks for looking.

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.
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.
