Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, United States
|
Up for auction is this beautiful survivor 1972 Roadrunner.
This car has never been restored, disassembled, and have never been in any accident. In fact when a minor ding on the door needed to be repaired it was featured in a Mopar Muscle Magazine article on paintless dent removal on how to get the dings out of an unrestored original to save the paint. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and is driven regularly. With only 27,197 original miles. The original black paint and condition is very good. Panel fit is good and there is no major damage or deterioration evident anywhere on the car. All glass, mouldings, weatherstrips are in very good condition. The original black vinyl seats, black headliner, and carpets are original and in very good condition. This was a very popular car with a lot of collector interest. This car is clean, mechanically sound and desirable. This was the last year of the Muscle Car Era with a build date of December 1971. 340 cu. in. V8 engine with Torqueflite 3spd. Transmission. Limited slip differential, original springs, shocks, brakes and exhaust are in very good condition. Running Cragar wheels and radial tires. The only modification to the vehicle was the installed exhaust tips as the original car was built with the California exhaust system. The exhaust tips were added. This car is being sold from the personal collection of John Balow, owner of Muscle Car Restorations, Inc. John is the third owner of this collector's piece and it has been well looked after and maintained by a true
automotive enthusiast and an expert staff of craftsman.

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.
