1966 Plymouth Valiant Station Wagon - Amazingly Rust Free Arizona Car on 2040-cars
Naples, Florida, United States
|
I have become one of those guys I thought I never would. I have dozens of cars and they are for the most part ( except for my favorite 4) just parked and stored.
So, in the interests of reducing my collection to a more manageable level and restoring and actually using the cars I am selling off about a dozen of my old cars I have in storage. This is a 1966 Plymouth Valiant 200 station wagon. Amazingly rust free and solid car from Arizona. Underside is clean and I could not even see any surface rust although I am sure there has to be some in there somewhere.. Just dust and dirt. Look at the underside floor pictures. It looks like the car was just built. Nice basic car, 6 cyl, auto, stnd brakes, stnd steering. Starts right up, runs great with no smoking, no leaking, no dripping. Drives well for an unrestored car of it's age. Interior is nice ( needs a cleaning and detailing which I may do in the next couple of weeks- it is dusty ). It could use a radio to fill the hole in the dash, and a dash pad which is baked from the desert sun. Seats are in amazing condition. The headliner is fine ( needs to be cleaned ) and the carpet is amazingly nice but dusty. It looks like the car has had a repaint in the same color ( slight color difference between the areas the sun hit and the shaded areas ) at some point in it's life with a same color respray over the original color. Glass is great. Drive it as is and enjoy it or restore it and show it if that is your thing. As this is a 47 year old used car it is sold as is, where is, with no warranties |

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.
SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before 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 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.
