1966 Plymouth 426 Hemi Satellite Coupe
This is a rare car 1966 Plymouth 426 Hemi Satellite Coupe, finished in Citron Gold (Light Metallic Green) with matching Citron Gold interior. The bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission are in excellent condition, finished to a near show standard and having just benefited from a 2000+ hour restoration and over $122,500 USD spent in the restoration alone, without purchase cost of the car.
Only 848 1966 Satellite Hemi's were manufactured, 534 of which were equipped with the optional automatic three speed transmission. Car and Driver Magazine said…"The best combination of brute force and tractable street manners we've ever driven".
In addition to the 426ci engine and heavy duty suspension, this car's has an impressive spec which includes: power steering, Booster assisted ventilated discs brakes, a 727 three-speed automatic transmission, 8 3/4 Sure Grip back axle with 3.23:1 gears
This Hemi Satellite has been built with a mix of NOS parts and a few repro parts, everything is correct right down to the French polished mahogany sports steering wheel, the new radial Red Line B F Goodrich 14" tires and original spinner hub caps and retains all of its original sheet metal.
This extraordinary '60s icon is being sold complete with a large history file that includes the original factory build sheet containing a breakdown of all the model's factory fitted options, a four page letter from Galen Govier, the world renowned Mopar guru. This car has 100 miles since the full restoration.
The Hemi has been over in the UK since 1975 and with only two owners in the last 18 years. Rare and exciting muscle cars don't come much better than this. If the news of ceaseless wars and flagging economies has been getting you down of late, then this 7-litre rocket ship could be just the antidote you need.

'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.
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.
