1968 Plymouth Satellite Base 3.7l on 2040-cars
|
I found this on craigslist in my home town, tucked in the corner of an old brick building covered up with a tarp and surrounded in 1968 plymouth parts that the elderly owner had been collecting since he bought this car from the original owner in 1977. At that time it had the original slant 6 with a knock. He found a nice 4 door with a 273 and switched the k frame for the v8 swap. sent the 273 out for a first class rebuild to the best machinist around (whom I know well) and sent the car off to the paint shop. The engine was finished and the car body was stripped of all of its parts for paint and all parts were carefully put away. The painter did a shameful job on the trunk floor( that had one small hole the size of a half dollar). and quarter panels in my view and never painted the car, A so the owner brought the car home and put it away. when he was pushing it into the building the left quarter got scraped on the edge of the brick wall and broke out some of the body mans handywork, and the old man just lost interest and let her sit. Thank god for AMD auto panel direct. my cost on the trunk floor, both full quarters and both inner and outer wheel houses is just over 2k with shipping, and I can do the install for another 2k and now you have a total virgin. When I say the rest of this car is solid, I mean you have to see it to believe it. I have been building mopars for over 25 years and have never started with anything this nice.It Is all there and has had a very easy life. I have always wanted a b body drop top and when I found this one , the timing could not have been much worse as i have two other cars in two different paint shops right now , one is a great 71 big block powered scamp sleeper driver, and the other is a 4 year build pro extreme HEMI cuda. and i am building the worlds finest torque converters 5 days a week. I am fighting off the urge to push this one in the corner of my 8000 sq ft building and put that tarp back over it, but my wife needs a fn horse trailer, and I already have more mopars than i should have for myself. If this car sells than I can get my others finished without interruption, If not it will be getting the new sheet metal directly. About the car , factory slant 6 auto on tree. Black cloth bench seat. No options , drum brakes , V8 k frame installed with all new front end parts. great glass original everything . always stored inside a warm dry building. light green originally. Condition is exceptional . If you ever wanted a 1968 GTX convertible, and you do not want to pay the 100-000-00 plus for an overly restored car that is someone elses favorite color, here is your chance. I also have the details on a midnight blue 4 speed 68 GTX convertible with everything important to build one for 10K. I can deliver this car for 1.50 per loaded mile anywhere in the us. If you truly have an interest in buying this car you may call me at 314-359-9600 leave a message and I will call you back. If you just want to talk about cars, please I have very little time. And by all means come and see this car. I have a lift and I will post lots more pictures.when I can, so please be patient pictures take time.

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.

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.
'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.
