1961 Plymouth Belvedere 2 Door Hardtop 61 Factory Lavender Daily Driver No Res on 2040-cars
Ocala, Florida, United States
|
First off, I hate to sell this car, but I have come to the conclusion that I will never be able to give it the restoration it deserves. Mechanically it's great, and underneath is perfect, but it needs a bunch of outer body repair and complete interior restoration. It's factory SS1 Lavender Metallic, with charcoal/silver/white interior. Original 318, torqueflite, power steering, power brakes, radio, heater, and clock. It is driven daily and is one of the best running poly engines I've ever had. I also had the transmission fully rebuilt and painted last year. I have a CD documenting the rebuild to go with it. Mechanically, you won't have to do much of anything to this car, except maybe a cleaning and detailing. Brakes have been gone through, (rebuilt all wheel cyls, lines are fantastic, drums turned, but it could benefit from a fresh rear passenger side brake drum, that one is pretty warped and causes pedal pulse. Power booster has been drawing too much vacuum lately, so I've disconnected it until it can be rebuilt. It has a very nicely done dual exhaust system with glasspacks and fresh exhaust manifold gaskets. It sounds awesome and runs very clean. A couple of months ago, I put brand new radial skinny white walls on it. I could benefit visually from a set of port-a wall wide whites. I've also removed the custom door panels out of it. Interior needs upholstery, door panels, and dash is faded. Heater core is bypassed for now because the heater control valve leaked. I have a replacement valve to go with the car. Underneath this car, including the sub frame, all floors and trunk floor you will find absolutely NO rot at all. Not even scale. I cannot stress this enough. Front fenders are rotted, trunklid is rotted. Rockers are very solid. Inners are all solid. Quarters have outer holes. You can see it all in the pics. You can however, get in this car and drive it home with no problems, have plenty of power, and get 20 MPG at the same time. I want $6,800 for it, or I would consider any forward look Mopar, (4 door hardtop, or station wagon) that is in daily driver condition. Has to be a driver, as I need this for my transportation. I'm simply wanting to replace it with another forward that needs less cosmetic work. No six cyl cars, no standard trannys. Must be V-8, auto with at least power steering. Preferably 60 Dodge, 60-61 Plymouth, but I will entertain any forward look car obviously. If you'd like to speak further about it, message me and send me your phone number if you like. Please don't let it scare you, it's really not as bad as it looks. Located in Ocala, Florida, 34470 No overseas buyers.......sorry, but I'd like to see this car stay in the states. It is up to you to arrange your own shipping. I cannot store the car, so it must be paid for in full within three days of the auction's end, and must be picked up within one week. Cash or bank transfer only. No games and no tire kicking once you get here. If you want to cut it up, or put Chevy power in it, or modernize it, don't even bother bidding, I won't sell it to you. Like I said, I hate to let it go, but it deserves a proper restoration.

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.
