1969 Plymouth Roadrunner, 4 Speed, 426 Hemi Engine on 2040-cars
Sevierville, Tennessee, United States
|
1969 Plymouth RoadRunner hardtop, black with saddle tan interior, 426 c.i. engine, 4 speed and Dana 60 rear end. Exterior color of car was changed from Bronze Fire Metallic (T-5) in the early '90's by a former owner. Car has since been repainted by this owner in 2007 using PPG single stage. Beautiful car, meticulously maintained and cared for with absolutely no issues. Car sits on a 4post lift which I use to clean the underneath after every outing. Everything works down to the ignition switch illumination when door is opened. Car was researched by Galen Govier in 2003 and is listed in The Chrysler Registry.
This car does have a sanctioned drag racing history; therefore, upgrades made as a result of this were left in place when the engine was totally rebuilt in September of 2004. These upgrades are 12 to 1 compression Venoli pistons, more aggressive cam, Mopar electronic ignition, Holley electric fuel pump, period correct vintage Sun Super Tach model #SST-802 and rear end gear change from 3:54 to 4:10. The engine is original to the car with correct VIN stamping. The A-833 transmission is a 1969 Hemi RoadRunner transmission with an earlier VIN stamping. The transmission was completely rebuilt in 2008. The Carter 4 barrel carburetors were also completely restored by the technicians at Holley in 2005. The car sold new at Barrish Chrysler Plymouth in Los Angeles, CA in May of 1969. The car is driven approximately 10 miles per month and is fueled with 110 octane racing fuel. The cooling system is filled with Evans waterless coolant. Castrol 10W40 full synthetic with ZDD Plus zinc additive is used with the oil. The car has been featured in Mopar Collector's Guide 1992, Muscle Car Review 1994 and Mopar Action 2008. I understand this is a lot of money to most people but the price of the car is two thirds of what I have in the car. I also know everyone is looking for a deal and this price is more than fair. |

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.
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.
