1973 Plymouth Roadrunner/satellite on 2040-cars
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
|
This is an awesome looking car that turns heads everywhere you go! just got a job transfer and my car has to go. it was originally a satellite sebring plus. i've had car for 7 years and before that spent whole life in southern ca. has a great running 318 2bl motor, 904 auto slapstick transmission(shifts perfect), great sounding flowmaster dual exhaust, a/c equipt with all components intact(needs charging),odometer says 65,000(can't confirm), newer paint and correct reflective stripe kit ,cd player installed under dash(original radio still installed and uncut), ralleye guages, new trunk mat, tires appear to be in good condition.This is a great looking car but is 41 years old and needs a little work. I'm going to be honest and try to list everything that doesn't work or needs work -- MECHANICAL-- the steering wheel and the steering has some play and needs a bushing installed in steering column-it comes with car and looks easy to install,needs new turn signal cam, guages all work except speedometer, windshield wipers not working( i never fixed because it never rains here in the desert), has a small trans leak, everything hooked up for heat and a/c but currently not working, missing coolant overflow bottle. - bumpers could use rechromed to look real nice,interior is all original. i had front buckets reupholstered. the color is a little off than the rear seat- the driver seat doesnt sit as upright as passenger.the rear seat has a small tear with several seems coming loose. headliner and carpet intact but will need eventual replacement-headliner has several tears throughout,carpet is torn in a couple spots also dash has 1 medium sized crack and 1 small one, could use fresh weatherstripping around portions of windows, driver side seat belt there but doesnt slide back in. The paint looks great but up close has some flaws.along the bottom of car the body work could have been a little better. it needed a little more sanding and glaze putty before it was painted. there are some paint drips also(mostly on bottom) 1 tiny door ding, a couple small spots on edges the paint is a little thin,1 small crack under passenger door(pics), 1 small crack on bottom right rear quarter panel. any major rust areas were cut out and new metal welded in.this car is not perfect- that's why the low asking price. description has been honest to everything i know about the car. its an awesome looking MOPAR you can drive and get lots of thumbs up wherever you go!. THANKS FOR LOOKING! ask any questions. don. I'M ADDING SOME INFO: i'm getting alot of questions about rust. the rust areas when i got car were a little in trunk floor and edge of trunk lid and a spot in the right rear quarter panel.also below the rear window was rusted. the trunk floor and edge of lid- the rust was cut out and repaired with new sheet metal. the rust behind rear window was all cut out and a new piece of metal fabricated and installed. the quarter panel rust was pretty small so i think it was just grinded down and filled over. i say that because that is where one of the small cracks are. there was also a small bit of rust in the rear floor board. it was small enough that i had just put a patch over it and covered it up with some rust inhibitor. the rear quarters where the drain holes are all appear to be rust free. i do have a quart of matching paint if you wanted to touch up a few of these areas. i added some pics to try to show the spots that are flawed. the price listed is my bottom price. it is advertised locally for sale so i may end auction at any time unless a bid is submitted.if it's not sold by saturday, i'm towing it up with me to idaho to just keep. if not sure about car, i would suggest getting a 3rd party to view car for you. car is sold as is with no warranty. buyer responsible for shipping. thanks again.

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.
