1973 Plymouth Duster on 2040-cars
Greenfield, Indiana, United States
|
Here's a solid 1973
Duster, ready for someone to complete the restoration; We purchased out
of the south, brought a bare shell back home. Now with a complete
drivetrain. Engine runs smooth, no noises. Tranny shifts as it should, except I don't have the kick down properly adjusted...thus, this should be trailered home. Nice aluminum racing wheels. Tires aren't dry-rotted, but not a whole lot of
tread left either. Engine is a 318 LA motor and tranny from a 76
Duster. Headers are new and heat wrapped. New dual exhaust with nice tips. New gas tank and finishing install on new fuel line. New Summit
racing alum pulleys on front of engine, new glove box, new driveshaft.
Needs an interior to complete restoration. Paint job is amateur..looks
great from a distance, but it's not good. No bondo in body, it's solid.
Two areas of rust; needs a new trunk pan, thats the worst. The front
floors have a few small rust holes, but the pans are solid, you can
stomp on them without give. They could be patched over replacing, usable
for now if you want a driver. Two small dents, the worst is pictured on
the tail panel. Small dent in rooftop, very easy repair. Quarters,
fenders, rockers, hood, top, trunk are all solid.
As stated, this is not a complete car, it's a project. Buying as-is. It
IS a solid foundation for restoration or with a little more input a good
cruiser. I'm happy to answer any & all questions.$500 deposit on
day of sale, remainder when you pick up, I'll hold car 7 days.

'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.
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.
