Up for auction is this very solid and documented 1970 Plymouth GTX 440. This car sat in my uncles garage since 1993 when he purchased it in West Virginia. Vin #RS23 UOA 105284 washer motor/ radiator support/ trunk edge numbers all match vin. The engine is a none numbers matching steel crank 1971 440 4bbl. Numbers match a 1971 4bbl C body as is the 727 Automatic Transmission. Galen Govier documentation and all receipts plus Owners manual, 1970 Service manual and previous owners information included. Fender tag in its original place. No broadcast sheet.
Car is very solid with very little rust. New quarters were installed before my uncle purchased it in 1993. Right front fender looks like it was replaced at some time due to the fact that the car was undercoated when new and the right side fender has no undercoating on it. All other metal is completely original and rock solid. Although the car looks like it had a repaint many years ago the car retains Most of the original paint. Hood/Deck lid stripe is not original to the car. The lighter blue has faded off and actually rubs off the darker B7 original paint where it still left. Unbeilievably solid rockers/ fenders/doors/ and floor boards. Trunk is super solid with small rust holes where the trunk meets the wheel well. Right front fender is a little beat up but rest of car is pretty straight. There is rust on both bottom corners on the rear windows. All glass except the windshield are original. Interior needs a headliner. Seats have been recovered and the original door panels look good. Seat backs need painting. Interior is over all in very nice shape. Front bumper is a new one and the rear one looks great.This car is not a show car but original unrestored vehicle. Could be a driver super quick and its only original once. That being said this car would make a killer restoration. New parts installed with in the last year are a complete PST front end rebuid kit everything done. Bushings, bearings, tie rods ends everything replaced and then aligned by the neighbor hood firestone dealer. Brand new BF Goodrich tires. New front brake lines soft and hard. Complete brake job, I sent original 11" front shoes to a shop for relining. Wheel cylinders shoesall around. New shocks, RPM performer intake, new Holly 770 street avenger carb, new gas tank and sending unit. New Mancini Racing electronic ignition/ wires/ plugs/ coil. Many new parts all new light bulbs throughout. many other items new. Newly rebuilt stearing gear box. New repo nice chrome mirrors and a rare eight track player and TIC TOC clock/ hood turn signals included. Nothing hidden very solid. Car runs and drives but will need to be trailered. Transmission leaks. I thought it was the pan and replaced it with a new one and it looks like its coming from the shifter above the pan. Engine runs and fires right up but has a noisy valve train. I think the motor needs a rebuild but does run and doesn't blow smoke. Odometer reads 42,561 but I assume it has rolled over. A $500 deposit is required with in 24 hours of purchase and final payment arraignments and pick up of vehicle within one week. Cash is king. No warranties car as is. |

'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.
