1970 Plymouth Road Runner Project, Roller on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
|
1970 Road Runner 2 door post project being sold with no reserve. This car is just a rolling shell and will require everything to get it back on the street. Car is sold as is with no additional items offered or included. Everything I have for the car is on it and there are no additional items as part of the sale. Car requires engine, trans, all electrical, cooling, instrumentation, interior, fuel system, as well as some needed sheet metal repairs.
Over all metal is in decent condition. Roof, dutchman, drip rails, upper quarters, passenger compartment floors, inner fenders, sub-frame are very solid. Front fenders are decent but have some plastic on the front edges. Rear quarters are fair but will need lowers replaced. Despite its primered and ready for paint look, it still needs work. I verified there is plastic in the lower quarters. Its visible in the passenger fender as well. It may be in other areas but nothing that was obvious. Trunk floor and trunk extensions are shot and need complete replacement. Trunk lid has some un-repaired damage. Hood has extensive damage on passenger corner which is carried through to hinge mounting area. Fender tag reads as follows: 134734; vin sequence # V0E; 440 cid 390 hp 3-2bbl 8 cyl, 1970, Los Angales CA D21; Heavy Duty 4 spd manual trans E87; 440-6 bbl H Engine 051726; order number 302; build date Mar, 02, 1970 TX9; uper door frame black M2X9; medium grade black vinyl bench seat FY1; Lemon Twist paint code N96; Fresh Air hood N41; Dual exhaust w/o tips M21;Roof drip rail moldings J25; 3 spd variable wipers A33; 3:54 Dana 60 Track package FY1; Lemon Twist roof color J11;Glove box loxk Y14 Sold car 69-71 26; 26" radiator END; end of tag Now with all of that out of the way, be advise that this car has all the attributes of being a re-body. The VIN number on the title, the vin tag, and fender tag DO NOT match the numbers stamped into the radiator cowl or the trunk lip. The numbers in these areas appear to be 6 O or 8 173996. I picked this car up as part of a trade. The conditions at the time of this transaction were such that I could not verify all the vins stampings, but I was more concerned with its overall condition than the vin match. If you are buying this car, you should be as well. Since all the documents I have for this vehicles suggest it is 134734 and not 173996, its can only be considered a rebody and future paperwork would only be processed as 134734. However, if you want a solid start to a project and have all the parts lying around to complete it, this could be a very nice car when it is complete. Speaking of paperwork, I'm sure this will be a chore to complete as it is a mess. I have an original title from 1983 from Hilo Hawaii with notice of transfer assignment to the new owner. This owner never title the vehicle and resold it to an individual in Utah earlier this century. This owner never title the vehicle and I picked up in Utah a couple of years ago and have not titled it myself. I picked it up as a semi-solid project to begin some significant modifications to create a modified car without consideration of the "value" of a rebodied 6 pack, fresh air, 4 spd car. As a rebody, its value will always be less than a pedigreed car with a traceable history. Keep this in mind. Other details worth mentioning; the floors are real solid.The frame rails are all solid. Inner fenders are very good. There is no Dana 60, only an 8 3/4 rear. The extra long shackles have gotta go, but they hold it up for now. The old dish mags are cool and the overall stance lends this to the gasser look and suggest it would make a very good beginning for a dedicated race car. There are significant traces of B3 blue throughout the shell. The air grabber is cool and the scoop mechanism is in okay condition but the inner and outer hood needs serious work. Rear side windows are pop out style. Doors are from an equivilent Dodge and are solid. Glass is not bad, but I haven't cleaned it well to verify. Please keep in mind this car is sold AS IS with all its warts, problems, lack of history, lack of parts, and suspect circumstances. Please bid accordingly as you are not picking up an uber rare mopar. Pick up is the buyers responsibility. I can hold the car for a short time after auction completes so you can arrange transport. Thank you for looking and good luck. |

'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.
'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.
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.
