for more pictures, search "Volare Survivor" on the Portland, OR craigslist

It has a 225 block slant-six
with a rebuilt 3 speed "trans-glide" automatic transmission

Original roof-rack and hubcaps.
Original paint, minor surface rust only! This car is 97% rust-free. No floor panel rust, no structural rust.
Original interior vinyl seats, carpet, and windows in great condition.

This Volare sat in a dry, climate controlled, pest-free garage in New Mexico from 1994-2012. I purchased the car last July and have been restoring it since.

Restoration includes:
-New gas tank
-All new rubber lines (gas, coolant, power steering, vaccum)
-Rebuilt transmission
-Rebuilt carburetor
-Engine seals, and valve cover
-Tune-up (New wires, plugs, air filter, fuel filter)
-New belts
-New breathers
-Bigger radiator
-New battery
-Modified exhaust
-Engine mounts
-All around detail
-Rebuilt passenger door and trunk lock mechanism

This car has been my daily driver since I bought it. Did a bunch of the work at first, and finished up the rest over the last few weeks, I've put about 7500 miles on it since then with great response and regular oil changes. This car has it all: Power, economy, room, style, originality, easy and cheap maintenance, in my opinion more reliable than any new car with the same milage!

She's in for the long haul, and needs to go to someone who wants to really appreciate the milage they put on her. This is not a project, and will only take minimal effort to maintain! She's ready for a road-trip to New York tomorrow, if your so inclined.

Now the less-than-perfect aspects...
-Drivers side seat has a scar
-Could use shocks, new tires, and an alignment (not bad)
-Surface rust (not my place to paint her, but if you want to...)
-Needs upgraded exhaust. Almost all there, and in working condition, just less than ideal.

'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.

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The 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 2014

The 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.
