Real Barn Find 1969 Roadrunner, Air Grabber Hood, 383, Floor Shifter on 2040-cars
Brooklyn, Maryland, United States
|
I came across this 1969 Roadrunner through a gentleman that passed away. This particular vehicle has been parked since 1985 in a wooden garage and had not seen daylight up until a few weeks ago when i pulled it out to be transported to my facility. I'll try to answer any questions that i can but i'm not a MOPAR guy and don't know a ton about these cars. The Body is fairly straight with rust here and there. The Air grabber hood appears complete with the exception of the air filter itself and in good shape. the trunk is rust free and straight. the passenger front fender will need to be replaced. The drivers fender is good, the rear quarter panels appear to be solid. the passenger front floor pan felt a little soft but drivers and the two rear seem solid. (although a thorough inspection was not done as i have left the carpet in place). The trunk pan has visible rust through as shown in pictures. The engine appears to have been changed out at some point to what i THINK is a 340. The rest of the drive trains all there and i assume is original. I threw a battery on it and the engine cranked over just fine, though i'd assume it would need a rebuilt top to bottom. All interior is accounted for but in poor condition. The car is available for preview any day before the auction closes 8am-5pm, just message me and we'll arrange a time. This is one of two 1969 road runners that i found and purchased from the same barn and i will give the winner first dibs on purchasing the second car which is also complete and numbers matching, though also in poor unrestored condition.

'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.

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.
