This is a very rough project car. Very rusty. It is a real 70 Cuda 340, with all body numbers matching. No engine or transmission. Was a slapstick automatic. Has 8 3/4 rear. Don't know the ratio. Comes with many new body panels. I have full factory quarters (not skins), trunk floor, trunk extensions, full front floor pan, transmission crossmember, full outer passengers side rocker panel, tail light panel, passengers side inner and outer wheel house, left and right rear footwell floor pans, and rear right frame rail. Most are Goodmark or AMD. Around $3000 in new sheet metal. Transmission crossmember, front floor pan, and passengers side rear wheel housing are roughed in. Car pretty much stops at the back window. Rear frame, trunk floor and quarters have
been mostly cut out. That will make shipping a challenge. Thinking about attaching heavy duty casters to the rear somehow for transport. The front drivers side frame rail will need replaced.
Of course, both rear frame rails need replaced, but I only have the right side. Front right frame rail looks ok. Roof is rotted in the front and rear windows channels, and along the drip rails.
There is rust in the inner roof structure. I was planning on putting on a roof skin and patching the under structure. May need some, or all replaced. You be the judge. No grille. No exterior trim. I do have front buckets and a rear seat that need redone. Also have front and rear bumper cores. I can't stress enough what a big project this is. It is in sad shape, but is a real 70 340 Cuda. Very much worth saving. I just don't have the time or money anymore. Too many projects. Feel free to ask questions. I can send pics of anything in particular you want to see. Keep in mind that I
haven't figured out a good way to transport it with the rear frame cut out. Will consider reasonable offers. Not giving it away. Need the money to finish my Challenger, and would like the
garage space.

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.
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.
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.
