1972 Plymouth Satelite Sebring - Roadrunner Clone Project on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
|
MUST ARRANGE PICKUP MAY 23, 24, 25. This is a 1972 Plymouth Sebring I bought to clone into a Roadrunner however I am moving and cannot take it with me. It has been inside my shop for years and out of the elements. This ran when I bought it and I drove it into the shop where it is now. The battery is dead so I wasn't able to start it up recently. I am sure it will run with a new battery. The brakes are in poor shape from sitting so long but I had planned to replace them anyway as I bought a disc brake setup for the front (spindles, calipers, valve and so on). The previous owner removed the bench seat and installed Mopar buckets that are on the right style but wrong mounts (I got the right ones). He also mounted a center console but not that shifter (got that too). The body is in pretty good shape with some previous work in the rear quarters behind the tires that will need redone. The grill and bumpers are decent and I have extras of both. The extra front bumper is paintable and straight. The extra back one is dented and tail lights cracked. The ones on the car are good. The vinyl top is coming off but I was going to take it off anyway. The metal underneath all feels solid as is the metal around the rear window. All glass is good. The floors look good and the trunk isn't too bad but needs a little patch here and there. One of the rear wheel body lip has some rust that needs to be repaired but really, for what this is they are usually all rotted away. The only place on the frame I saw that needs the most attention is the left front by the steering box. It is pictured. A good welder can have this cut and replaced in an hour I would think. It's on the underside and not all that big. I never got to working on this and now have to sell. Speedometer says 30,027 but I'm sure that has been rolled over. Car of this age makes mileage exempt. This was an original A/C car but the compressor and hoses under the hood was gone when I got it. Easy replacement. I bought several Roadrunner items to clone this car and they all go with it. Some are hard to get and very expensive if you do the research. The main items I got are as follows: Hood, Complete Roadrunner Rally Dash, Steering Wheels, Floor Shifter and Linkage, Bucket Seat Tracks, Console/Shifter Mount Hardware, Set of Hood Bezel/Inserts, Steering Column for Floor Shifter, Bucket Seat Mounting plates, Seat Belts (for buckets), Original AM/FM Radio, Extra Rally Dash Bezel with 150 MPH Speedo, Emblems, Decals, etc. These cars are becoming harder and harder to find. Mopars are very collectible cars and this Roadrunner clone would have been nice to complete. Look at the pictures and ask any questions you may have. I am not currently where the car is so I may not be able to look at something specifically but had taken many pictures. Clear title and will provide bill of sale. Can only meet to move the days above so please plan accordingly as I am not sure when I will be back in the area. If you have negative or no feedback please email first before bidding or I may remove your bid. Down payment by PayPal and the rest is paid in person at time of pickup. Will not accept any checks for payment. Thanks for looking 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.
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.

'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.
