1941 Plymouth Convertible on 2040-cars
Spencer, Indiana, United States
|
Listed several weeks ago at $10k, no bidders. Contacted by several people asking to relist at a lower price. This car was purchased by my friend in 1968 and taken to car shows. He decided to restore it in 1970, jacked it up and stripped off the doors, hood, fenders. It was still that way when I met him in 1989. He passed away 4 years ago and I obtained the car. Being stored in a shed caused the paint to deteriorate badly. Much paint peel and metal pitting (see picture) but no rust through that I am aware of. The floors appear solid but look like they had surface rust and were coated with a hard black material years ago. Still has the original front floormats. Frame appears solid. To stop some of the rust, I had all loose body parts bead blasted and primed but did not fill in the pits. The top and tires are pre-1968. Top looks good but back window will not zip up. Interior door panels and other pieces are there but interion will need redone. The car does run, motor runs good but has one noisy lifter and the brakes are soft but will stop the car. This car is not in driving condition and requires total restoration. The wing windows and door windows were removed when the car was stored and are in excellent condition. I have boxed up most of the NOS and used parts and have no doubt that their value way exceeds $3000. Although not in the picture, the hood is available and has been bead blasted and primed. There is no parts car, it has been sold. NOS parts include both front fenders (see picture), running board chrome (rare) and many hard to find parts. When picking up the car, the high bidder needs also to be able to haul the extra parts as they will not all fit in the convertible. This car and parts cannot be delivered, local pick up only in Spencer, Indiana. High bidder must bring cash, no checks, when picking up the car and parts. Car and parts must be picked up within 2 weeks of auction close. Will not sell any items seperately. Email if you want more info, want to see the car or need more pictures. Additional: Before the previous owner passed away he told me that he had been sanding on the frame and using POR-15. He also put in a new radiator and had the gas tank coated on the inside(?). Some of the NOS parts include: 2 NOS coils, kick panels, front fender lower chrome (hard to find), lots of wheel bearings and seals, fuel pump, muffler, tailpipe and clamps, 4 hubcaps and a lot more. There is a lot of used parts including an extra transmission. Per questions asked, serial number is 11379470, body number is 304 10738 and motor number is P12*509093. Top cylinders have not been removed from the car and there is a lot of stainless steel for the grill, etc should be complete with a lot of extra. Additional questions: There are two sets of running boards, the originals, with rubber that would work well but not for show and another set NOS of which one has a small chunk of rubber missing on the end (should repair fairly easily. The front and rear bumper main sections will need rechromed but all four bumper wings are NOS. |

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.
'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.
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.
