One of my Bucket List cars, the 1970 Hurst Edition Chrysler 300, in all it’s white and gold glory. Hooniverse recently located this ridiculously overpriced one on Craigslist, reigniting their “Is it an Obscure Muscle Car?” question. More pics after the jump.
Did you want to go to the Lambrecht collection auction but live in the Northwest? Did you want to go but are only a Mopar fan? Well, here is your chance. The Charles Kee collection is going up for auction on May 8th and 9th in Brothers, Oregon. Where is Brothers, you ask? It’s in the middle of nowhere in Eastern Oregon, about an hour east of Bend, Oregon. It was a five hour drive for us from Olympia, Washington. Charles Kee was collecting cars to try to start a museum but unfortunately passed away before seeing his dreams come true.
This is an amazing collection of cars and parts but unfortunately a few years ago some Europeans came in and bought a bunch of the better cars from the collection. Most of what are left are C-bodies and 4-door Chryslers with a few scattered B- and A-bodies. Still some good projects in the bunch, however.
We got the opportunity to see the collection and have the scoop on the cars and parts that are going up for auction. Here are some general pictures and we are going to have more details on a few of the best cars. The auction is being run by James G. Murphy–here is a link to the preliminary catalog. Anyone want more info on any cars in particular?
Reported to be the actual car that The King used to win races number two, three and four of his career, this Fury, as posted on Hemmings, can now be yours for a cool half million. Towel included. More pics after the jump!
Hemmings recently did an update on Miss Belvedere, the 1957 Plymouth that was entombed in an underground vault/time capsule in Tulsa OK. 50 years later, in 2007, one lucky Tulsaite was to win the perfectly preserved car! Unfortunately, things didn’t quite work out as planned. More pics of the car after the jump.
Read the story of one man’s love affair with a Chrysler Windsor, the Canadian version of the Newport, at Curbside Classic.
A 1965 Chrysler New Yorker that was for sale tugs at the heart strings of a prospective buyer and, in the process, he writes a pretty good piece about the classic C-body. Read the story at Curbside Classic. More pics after the jump!
Produced for only two model years (1970 and 1971), The Plymouth Sport Fury GT was Plymouth’s attempt at a full size muscle car. The 440 4 bbl was the popular choice but a 6 bbl was an option, too. I love the sinister styling. What say you? Could a C-body be considered a muscle car? Hooniverse is asking. More pics after the jump!
Today was the first day of cars going across the block at Barrett Jackson and it was a very fun and exciting day. They have an all new facility this year with over 1,000,000 square feet of space! It is amazing how big this place it and they are selling over 1,400 cars from Tuesday to Sunday. Here are a couple of cars that stood out to us, we will post many more later this week with more info on what we thought of them. Here are a few teaser shots, will go more in depth on these later. More pics after the jump!
We just found these five 1962 Chrysler’s in Bellingham, Washington. Not sure why somebody would let these things sit in a swampy area for 15 years but it happened. We just saved these from going to the crusher and the cars are:
See more pictures below. What would you do with these? They are pretty rough.
Winter is here. So how about some pics of Mopars in the snow, courtesy of Moparts! More pics after the jump!
