1970 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible on 2040-cars
Lubbock, Texas, United States
|
Up for your consideration this week is a very nice 1970 Barracuda Convertible. It is one of only six to have left the factory with a 383 and three speed manual transmission. When I got he car about 5 years ago, the 383 was long gone, but I did track down a date coded 383 that can be rebuilt if you want to put it back in. It has a 360 Magnum with a six pack ( that hauls some serious butt if you know what I mean ) and shaker hood. Has four speed it now. I still have the original hood if you want to go back stock. Car has 15" rally wheels and tire barely have the tiddies worn off. Build sheet, window sticker, all books are there as well. Fender tag is still in place on car. No rust underneath, never been wrecked, no panels replaced, floor pan and trunk pan original. If you want to go Hemi route, I have Gilled rocker moldings, front chin spoiler, and go wing also. that was the way I was going, but this is the kind of car that deserves to be put back the way it came from the factory with that low production number and get to Barrett Jackson. I'm sure I will have a thousand questions, feel free to ask and if you don't want them posted to let me know that too. I have left off a couple of pics on purpose so I can ad the ones most requested in a couple of days and revise ad to answer the most asked questions. Need to raise cash so don't need a Harley trade at this time. Call 806-777-7272 with questions or e-mail and will answer speedy fast. Thanks- Dave !! Reserve is low 40's |

'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 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.
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.
