1971 Plymouth 340 Duster, Clone on 2040-cars
Waterloo, Illinois, United States
|
We just finished the restoration of this Duster. I need the lower SS trim polished for the front windshield and will install. The car is a California car and had minimal rust. We had the trunk pan replaced and the body was very solid. The paint is from research of 71 340 Duster advertisement. Correct 71 340 grill painted per research with re chromed Head Light Bezels, SS Trim and new Turn Signal Lens. Front and rear bumpers re chromed.
A 71 340 bored .30 over with X-Heads ( Hardened seat, port matched, new vales/seats, push rods and new rocker gear) with a Racer Brown Hyd. Cam, Holley 750 DBP and Weiland port matched intake. I will post the cam specs later but a nice sounding cam. All new SS lines (3/8 Fuel) are on the car. New gas tank and 3/8 sending unit. A correct 71 340 radiator with extra thick core was rebuilt. TTI headers and 3" exhaust out the back. The interior is new Legedary Delux 340, correct buckets and all new with head liner. The dash is all new bezels, 8 grand tach. and the gauges all work. New front and rear glass, glass seals, pop out window and door handles. Correct original Spare. Correct for 340 front sway bar, new torsion bars and rear leaf springs. Front end rebuilt, all new (Ball joints, Tie rod ends, Idler arm and Pitman arm). New gas shocks. The 23 spline 4 speed was rebuilt, 10.5 Zoom clutch/pressure plate and the 8 3/4, 3.23 POSI, new bearings and seals. 4 piston original disk brake setup with correct power booster. Rear brakes all new. I will place the correct shifter handle on the car with a white ball. "The Pistol Grip was a gift to my son." In short anything that we could replace or restore was. None nicer! To much to list. No low baller's, no Zero reviewed buyers, serious inquiries please. |

'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.
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.
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.
