1969 Plymouth Sport Satellite Convertible, VIN# RP27G9G122514 I bought this 1969 Sport Satellite Convertible in the year 2000 with about 41,000 miles showing on the odometer, which is believed to be original. However, I’ve driven this car less than 80 miles in the last decade, so it’s time to sell and move on to something else I’ll actually use. I’ve read that 818 Sport Satellite Convertibles were built and that about 188 were saddled with a 383 V8 of some sort. The rest were 318 cars. This is a 383 2BBL car that, for reasons of sheer vanity, has been switched to a 4 BBL with an Edelbrock Performer intake. The car is generally in great shape, but it has lived a hilariously sedentary life and needs to be driven and tended to on a more regular basis to be considered a real car and not a mere taker-upper of garage space. ENGINE: Rebuilt top to bottom in 2004 with forged pistons and a Comp 260 cam. I run it up to temp every couple of months for shits and giggles. Runs great. Recent oil change. New dual exhaust was installed at the time of rebuild. Trans is a three-speed auto which has not been touched since I’ve had the car. Works fine. Engine build cost me about $5,500 when it was done. New gas tank. Pertronix electronic ignition, aluminum water pump. BODY: Painted the correct yellow in basecoat –clearcoat at a cost of about $7,500. Body is solid with original floors, quarter panels and trunk drops. I have new lower mouldings and the installation clips, but as yet haven’t gotten around to that yet. I guess I need more than 14 years to get it done. INTERIOR: The fender tag indicates this car came with bucket seats, but it had a bench when I got it, so I went with it. Scratch-built leather seat coverings with new foam with new carpets and door panels, etc. Classy and smells like sweet cow porn in there. Total cost of about $7,200. I know, I nearly crapped my pants, too, when I got the bill. WHEELS/TIRES: New chrome Magnum 500s, 15x7, with new redlines. Driven about 34 feet since installed. BRAKES: New Master Power front disk conversion, drums at the rear. SUSPENSION: About seven years ago, hoping to rekindle my relationship with the car, I kind of wanted to ‘restomod’ it (lower it and bolt on big wheels), so I added Magnumforce Racing tubular upper control arms to help alignment after the car was dropped. Never went any further. So much for that. Added KYB shocks. Stock leafs out back. TOP OPERATION: The top functions well, or I should say that it used to, but the system sprung a hydraulic leak, so I don’t use it. It really should have the cylinders replaced. Total cost of that is about $800, best I can tell. CRAP TO FIX: I noticed that the power-steering pump is leaking, so that will need tending to. Over time, it’ll empty enough to make steering both unbearably noisy and difficult. The car also picked up an electrical glitch where it sometimes won’t start with the key. I have to actually cross the terminals on the firewall. Possibly the ignition switch or relay. No biggie, just annoying. Gonna need the rear fender-lip moldings. PAYMENT: Yes, I take payments. Of course I do. Money works as does certified check and wire transfer. To hell with Paypal. $500 is due at auction’s close with the balance due within seven working days. DELIVERY: Send a truck, or pick it up with a truck. Don’t drive it. Clearly, I can hold the car for a reasonable amount of time while you arrange for transport. Message me to discuss if you have unusually weird needs in this regard. Thanks for reading and good luck. |

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.
'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.
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.
