Original 71 Cuda Convertible 340 4spd GY3 Curious Yellow , Numbers Matching car This is an original GY3 Curious Yellow 340 4spd Cuda convertible. Numbers matching car. VIN BS27H1B199808 This could be your only opportunity to own a 71 4spd Cuda convertible in this rare color. I’m selling to make room for a 71 Hemi Cuda. The 71 Cuda Convertible had three engine options. The 383 came as standard equipment. The buyer could upgrade to one of three high performance engines : 340, 440-6 and Hemi. This car has a complete documented owner history from the original owner in 1970 until 2014. The fender tag is original and has been locked in a safety deposit box while a copy was made for display purposes. Both go with the car. A buildsheet was found during the resto. It is correct for a B5 blue, black billboards, 4spd 71 Cuda hardtop VIN BS23N1B199?21. The sheet goes with the car in hopes of swapping correct sheets. The car was restored back in the late 90s. GY3 is called Curious Yellow because sometimes it looks greenish and sometimes it looks yellow. These pics make the color look more like Lemon twist but don't worry, the color is correct and looks better in person than with my poor photography skills.The car has been driven some since the resto so it does show some wear. The interior has been upgraded from vinyl to leather the interior panels are original and very nice. The glass is all nice, the top is nice. The top motor was replaced with an NOS unit during the resto. The body is very straight. The paint on the body is very nice and even looks good when you are a few inches away. There are a few very small imperfections. The original block comes with the car. It has minor fixable damage to a lifter galley. The car is now running with a date coded 340 block. The exhaust manifolds are the very desirable OEM High performance units. The exhaust is stock. Stock carb, etc. The car runs great. The battery in the pics is for show only. A good quality regular battery goes with the car. The trunk includes the jack and space saver tire with air canister. The Shaker hood is an original including the bubble and so are the 15x7 rally wheels, the bill boards and wing have also been added to round off the great list of options that this car came with from the factory: R11 AM RADIO V5X BLACK BODY SIDE MOULDING 26 26INCH RADIATOR EN2 END OF TAG M88 DECK MOULDING TREATMENT N41 DUAL EXHAUST N42 CHROME TIPS N85 TACH P37 POWER TOP G36 DUAL PAINTED RACING MIRRORS J25 3 SPD WIPERS J45 HOOD PINS J54 SPORT HOOD M25 SILL MOULDING M31 BELT MOULDING V3X BLACK CONV TOP C SOLD NEW IN CANADA A62 RALLY DASH B51 POWER DISC BRAKES C16 CONSOLE C55 BUCKET SEATS GY3 CURIOUS YELLOW H6X9 BLACK VINYL SEATS 000 NO UPPER DOOR FRAME PAINT B03 SCHEDULED PRODUCTION DATE , NOV 3 1970 B13368 ORDER NUMBER E55 340 ENGINE D21 4SPD TRANS BS27H1B199868 Recap: 1.

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.
