You are bidding on a very rare 1962 Plymouth Fury 4 door Hardtop. This vehicle is a survivor, with a good running 318 engine and automatic transmission. Can be driven and restored over time, would need total restoration to be show quality. Everything on the vehicle is original, original paint, original interior, engine and transmission. The body has no apparent rust issues, the normal areas that rust thru, the cowl, rear window, rear quarters are solid; however car does have some minor dents and dings, minimal body work needed. All trim and stainless on the car, most in good condition, some dings and dents in stainless. There is some pitting in the chrome. The hood and trunk are primered. The front clip is very nice, all glass is good, all doors and trunk lock and all windows roll up and down. Window rubber/weather stripping needs to be replaced, in fair to poor condition. Interior upholstery is original, driver seat worn, door panels also original; original Chrysler seat belts, fabric faded. Vehicle has new carpet. Starts and runs good. Would need tires to be road worthy (they have a lot of tread but are very old). Glove compartment has original dealer ID sticker, original owners manual (poor condition). Power steering works good no leaks, transmission shifts, brakes seem solid, radiator was rebuilt. All lights and turn signals work, gauges work, radio worked when purchased but has since quit.

Forgot some things, the heater works good. Engine has a tune up, oil change/filter and new heater hoses/antifreeze and Diehard battery, the eyebrow fabric above the dash instrument panel is in poor condition. We have not driven the car on the highway only on local streets/ neighborhood do to the age of the tires, brake hoses etc. We are the second owners and purchased it from the original family and were going to tear down and make a project (cut, big engine etc) and decided that maybe it would be better if someone would restore this unusual vehicle.

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.

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.
'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.
