1973 Plymouth 'cuda 340 Matching Numbers W/build Sheets on 2040-cars
Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, United States
|
By 1973, this was the hottest 'Cuda you could get, as all of the big blocks were gone. This is a very original, unmolested car that I'd call a survivor. It is a genuine "BS" vin code 'Cuda, not a Barracuda.
This car is matching numbers (engine and trans are stamped with the car's vin). Car has original fender tag and two build sheets (broadcast sheets) that document the car, and that it is in exactly the same configuration as it left the factory in 1973...same color ("Lemon Twist" yellow), correct wheels, automatic w/ slap stick shifter, console, etc. and still has the original engine and transmission. No A/C or power steering. There are a few non-stock bolt on items on the car and these are the rear spoiler, the carburetor and intake manifold, exhaust headers, and the ignition coil. Car is very nice but not perfect. Some areas need cosmetic attention and attest to the "survivor nature" of this car. The engine bay needs some cleanup and detailing. The trunk floor under the vinyl mat needs some attention as it has some rust there. Also, some areas of interior are beginning to show their age such as seat upholstery seams splitting and the dash appears to be capped. Carpets are newer. Car currently has no radio or speakers installed. The car runs and drives great and is currently tagged and insured. Clean PA title in hand. Mileage is unknown. Title says miles are exempt because of age, which is common on old cars in PA. Odometer works and says 25,xxx. I've always assumed that it's on its second way around. Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to cancel bids and end auction if car sells through other means. |

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.

'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.
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.
