Mopars in Barns
Three Mopars recently hit Cars in Barns; a 1968 Barracuda Formula S relegated to a parts car, a hibernating 1973 340, 4-speed Cuda and what appears to be a 1956 Chrysler Imperial looking like a lost puppy. More pics after the jump!
Tuesday at Barrett-Jackson
Tuesday is normally not a super exciting day at Barrett-Jackson, but since Barrett was selling the majority of the Ron Pratte collection that night, the room was full and the bidding was crazy. Ron is a big time collector in the Phoenix area and had been buying high end cars at Barrett-Jackson for years. He decided to liquidate his collection through BJ and it was very fun to watch. This included two Hemi Mopars that did very well. The first car up was a 1970 Dodge Charger with a 426 Hemi and a 4-speed. Bidding was furious and shot up to $190,000 right away–unseen levels for a Hemi B-Body. It ended up at $200,000. Here is a picture of the car:
Dodge and Fargo Sweptside Pickups

1956 Plymouth Plainsman Concept
Hemmings has a neat article on the Ghia built 1956 Plymouth Plainsman concept vehicle. The car will be heading to auction in August. It’s some pretty wonky styling. More pics and promotional video after the jump. Check out the video and watch for the small-child-eating rear jump seat!
We Were the Ramchargers
Dave Rockwell, a member of the Ramchargers and author of the 2007 book We Were the Ramchargers, spoke at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan last weekend. Find more info on the groups achievements at Hemmings. More pics after the jump!
A 1959 Dodge Challenger?
Yep. The Challenger name first appeared in 1959 as the Dodge Silver Challenger. The limited production any-color-as-long-as-its-silver two door was quite striking for its time. Hooniverse has selected it as a nominee for its Obscure Muscle Car Garage section. Cast your vote now. More pics after the jump!
