This is a 1973 Plymouth Road Runner true 4 speed 400 big block car. Chysler only built 700 to 800 of these cars and I have owned 4 of the. It's very important that you put a big block motor into a big block car for a small block car isn't equiped to handle it, such as a smaller rear end, etc. This car was built in Windsor, Ontario Canada and was Ziebart protected from the factory in which made this car a very good and solid car to restore as you can see from the pictures. This car under gone a new complete restoration in my shop, this car is as gorgeous on the bottom as it is on the top side, for it has been completely redone and shot with a bed liner style protectant that gives it great protection. This car has a appearance and is very washable and easy to clean, the body has an 8 stage dupont base coat clear coat paint job, people who visit my shop and see my cars often refer to them as a piece of art. The motor in this car is a 400 bored 40,000 over with steel sleeve inserts installed in its cylinders to ensure true cylinders and prevent engine cylinder wear, and give total performance. The engine assembly was fully balanced along with a custom built internial balanced steel crankshaft from Crankshaft Specialist out of Memphis, Tennessee, the heads are the 452 which i run on all my 440 racing engines for they have hardened seates for todays gas and build serious horsepower. Additional work on these heads include a 3 angle valve job for additional performance, this motor will easily accept a 6 pack or 2 fours at present it has a 625 cfm carter afb. This car is ready to be used as a daily driver, race, or as a show car. The cam shaft was built by Chase Knight of Crane Corporation, it is a 504 intake and 528 exist with a 3 bolt double roller timing assembly with the new headers and dual turbo thrush exhaust.This motor has a very serious sound with 500+ horsepower and new tires, it will melt these tires off the car if you wished. Car is postive traction and runs like the wind, car has new engine, new complete Hurst pistol grip shifter and full assembly, new headers, new dual exhaust, heater core, heater motor, u joints, clutch, pressure plate, fly wheel, brake lines, gas tank, fuel gage, air shocks to allow you to set performance of car and ride height of your desire.

The red 73 road runner was prior to this one and i sold it to a oil man in texas, the black one before it I sold to a movie producer in California, now I am curious as to who may buy this one. After this car I only have one more 73, 4 speed road runner to restore from my collection of Mopars my other remaining Mopar cars will be from 1969 to 1972. This car is being sold as is, any one is welcome to come inspect the car before the auction ends. I require a 1,000.00 dollar deposit imideately upon end of auction or i'll cancel the bid and sell it to the next highest bidder. I know of a shipping company that i myself use often if the new owner might wish to have the car shipped instead of just drive it home. The black car sold within 45 minutes of it being on ebay, the red car within 2 days. I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time, so bid to win! I reserve the rights to use my pictures of this car for personal advertisement or magazine publications. I can be reached at vgmotorsports@aol.com or for serious buyers 502-542-8222. Virgil G.

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.
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.
