19691/2 Plymouth Roadrunner A12 Liftoff Car on 2040-cars
United States
|
a12 roadrunner This is a real a12 car that can be purchased and driven as soon as you take delivery.While it's not a concourse show car it is a very respectable driver that will place in local car shows and draw a crowd at car cruises. This is a chance to own one of these cars that a few years ago seemed astronomical and out of reach that now can be bought for a very affordable price. The engine is a late 1967 block that fires instantly with no knocks rattles ticks or weird noises. It doesn't smoke and doesn't seem to have any leaks. It has a nice lope to the cam but not so much that is too radical to drive. It will cruise all day long with no worry of over heating. The six pack carbs are functioning as they should and as you would expect when you smash the pedal this beast comes alive. The 727 shifts through all the gears as it should and when pushed will downshift and accelerate as you would expect. I suspect it has a small stall to the convertor as there is no lurching when you put in gear.The 410 dana has recently been gone through with a new bearings and ring and pinion. The drum brakes are functioning properly and will bring this bird to a halt fairly quickly.There are no pulls or wondering to the suspension and the car has recently had a front end alignment and brand new bfg tires. While this car has been painted some years back it still shows very nicely with very few imperfections (nothing that will show in pictures) The body is flat and straight and the rallye green still has a very nice shine to it.The quarters were professionally replaced years ago. The trunk I believe to be original with just a few small patches (not worth replacing entire trunk area). The floor pans and frame rails I believe to be in nice original condition. I don't know for sure but I think the six pack hood is a reproduction. There are some scratches on the windshield and back glass. All body numbers do match. The interior is a nice blend of original parts with new added as needed. The seats door panels carpeting and headliner are all in very nice condition with new armrests handles and latches. The dash pad is in excellent condition and the dash bezels and switches are new and crisp. The am radio does not work. This is a very nice car with basically no issues. It is ready to be driven and enjoyed. The rallye green is not only a cool color it is very rare and chances are you will not see another one. This bird is priced right an I intend on selling it. All inspections are welcome and will be easily arranged before the auction ends. I will entertain mopar trades up or down. Please don't ask me the reserve and if you do have any questions call 636 219 7298 Thanks Bill This auction can end at anytime as I do have the car for sale locally. This roadrunner is sold as is where is with no warranties written expressed or implied. The car will be stored for up to three weeks after auction ends unless previously arranged. Shipping is the responsibility of purchaser but I will assist as needed. |

'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.
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.

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.
