19691/2 Plymouth Roadrunner A12 Liftoff Car on 2040-cars
United States
|
a12 roadrunner This is a real a12 car that can be purchased and driven as soon as you take delivery.While it's not a concourse show car it is a very respectable driver that will place in local car shows and draw a crowd at car cruises. This is a chance to own one of these cars that a few years ago seemed astronomical and out of reach that now can be bought for a very affordable price. The engine is a late 1967 block that fires instantly with no knocks rattles ticks or weird noises. It doesn't smoke and doesn't seem to have any leaks. It has a nice lope to the cam but not so much that is too radical to drive. It will cruise all day long with no worry of over heating. The six pack carbs are functioning as they should and as you would expect when you smash the pedal this beast comes alive. The 727 shifts through all the gears as it should and when pushed will downshift and accelerate as you would expect. I suspect it has a small stall to the convertor as there is no lurching when you put in gear.The 410 dana has recently been gone through with a new bearings and ring and pinion. The drum brakes are functioning properly and will bring this bird to a halt fairly quickly.There are no pulls or wondering to the suspension and the car has recently had a front end alignment and brand new bfg tires. While this car has been painted some years back it still shows very nicely with very few imperfections (nothing that will show in pictures) The body is flat and straight and the rallye green still has a very nice shine to it.The quarters were professionally replaced years ago. The trunk I believe to be original with just a few small patches (not worth replacing entire trunk area). The floor pans and frame rails I believe to be in nice original condition. I don't know for sure but I think the six pack hood is a reproduction. There are some scratches on the windshield and back glass. All body numbers do match. The interior is a nice blend of original parts with new added as needed. The seats door panels carpeting and headliner are all in very nice condition with new armrests handles and latches. The dash pad is in excellent condition and the dash bezels and switches are new and crisp. The am radio does not work. This is a very nice car with basically no issues. It is ready to be driven and enjoyed. The rallye green is not only a cool color it is very rare and chances are you will not see another one. This bird is priced right an I intend on selling it. All inspections are welcome and will be easily arranged before the auction ends. I will entertain mopar trades up or down. Please don't ask me the reserve and if you do have any questions call 636 219 7298 Thanks Bill This auction can end at anytime as I do have the car for sale locally. This roadrunner is sold as is where is with no warranties written expressed or implied. The car will be stored for up to three weeks after auction ends unless previously arranged. Shipping is the responsibility of purchaser but I will assist as needed. |

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.
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.
