1973 Plymouth Fury Gran Sedan
4 door Land Yacht - 22 Foot long! Selling this in favor of another Fury I own. Upgrades include: 2013 - re-cored radiator (by Liland Radiator) 2013 - tune up of spark plugs, wires, cap, new silicone hoses etc 2012 - voltage regulator 2012 - fuel lines rear 2009 - alternator 2009 - front tires 2009 - front brakes 2009/2010 - headliner repairs 2008 - rear tires What the car needs: Upholstery (back seats have signs of dry rot), dash cracked, carpet old (functional, but not pretty), and will be needing paint on the body, and the contrasting roof is original and if you want this to be a show car you need to choose to replace or just paint it. United radio in Syracuse - I was told - can repair the speedometer (it reads 20 mph off). The sending unit for the fuel gauge is also not functioning (I've been using a notebook since I've owned it) would suggest replacing that, because it does suck to fill up every 250 miles just to be on the safe side..... Has a 400 V8 engine & a Torqueflight transmission - so despite being a land yacht she does haul ass (always thought of drag racing it despite the tonnage). Built at the Newark Delaware plant. I have driven this car all over the country - won Nashville, IN for "Most Original Car" in 2009 at the Hotrods and Hillbillies car show. From the book, "The Plymouth and Desoto Story" Crestline Books, page 358; "Loaded with elegance and luxury, the Fury Gran Sedan proved irresistible to the 14,852 individuals who bought it. The attractive 4-door hardtop weighted 3,890 pounds and was available upon payment of $4,110. The Fury Gran series was available with an optional Brougham interior that offered a choice of seat style and trim, individual front seat adjustment and a reclining feature for the front passenger." (this is the trim level in this vehicle) |

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.
'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
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.
