It is time for me to sell the Barracuda that I started restoring over four years ago. The car is near completed; I would estimate another $5000 will complete the car. I will not give the car away, so let’s not waste each other’s time. I have two VW buses and a 66 Mustang Convertible that I want to restore so that is why I’m selling the Barracuda. If I don’t sell it I will finish it and maybe sell one of the other projects.  

The car runs, the engine was totally rebuilt, zero miles as was the trans and rear.

I decided I didn’t want the standard Barracuda colors for the convertible top so I had a custom brown top installed. The interior is going to be yellow and brown combination. I have all the chrome and then some. There are many extra pieces since I had purchased another 67 barracuda convertible for the parts. Most of the exterior chrome has been re-done; I believe I paid about $1500. It has been wrapped in plastic and stored at my house. The A/C is totally new from classic car air. The front brakes have been converted to disc. The exhaust system is brand new. The bumpers haven’t been re-chromed and are in decent condition. The original carburetor is on the car and was rebuilt a while back so I found another carb and had it professionally rebuilt, cost me $235, this was done 3 weeks ago. All new wiring harnesses from front to back.

There is no rust on the car, most of the metal has been repaired or replaced. I have a clean title on the car.

Here is what I feel is needed to complete:

Final coat of paint
Seats need to be redone, including tracks
Dashboard needs to be redone, I started doing the plastic dash panel, I have 2 so I figured if I didn’t like it I could use the other
All the chrome including bumpers need to be installed
Heater box needs to be rebuilt
Install wiring harness
Carpeting
Tires

After the car is completely finished there is probably over a $1000 worth of parts that could be sold. I have a complete nose piece, steering column including wheel, all sorts of chrome, dashboard, extra instruments, and radio.

I will not be selling any parts individually, they go with the car.

Some of the pictures were taken before the front end was done so it looks liek it sags in the front

More pictures to follow, please submit questions

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The 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 2014

The 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 2014

The 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.
