Ok, here’s an obscure one. Most people who watched Dazed and Confused are gonna remember Matthew McConaughey’s 1970 Chevelle. But do you remember this black wing car? I sure don’t! Need to watch it again, I guess. We’ll come back to Ben Affleck’s 1973 Plymouth Duster later. Trailer after the jump! Pic via IMCDB
Here’s how you do it: buy a cream puff 1977 Dodge Aspen on eBay for $4,800, swap out the wheels, take better pics, then relist it. Reserve not met at $6,900! Think it could go higher? More pics after the jump. Love that green interior!
A white 383 automatic ’71 ‘Cuda vert (similar to the one below, but no billboards) was stolen out of a garage in New Jersey back in March. The theives literally dragged the E-body out of the garage in park and put on a flatbed. Then in mid-April the owner posted a description along with the car’s VIN on Moparts. Within a few days another Moparts member posted the following:
3 weeks ago, a gentleman came by my house through a friend to pick an antique desk, I was giving away. He noticed all my Mopars in my garage, then proceeded to tell me his brother has a 71 Cuda convertible, 383, all numbers matching, white, with 8 track, wearing in his words ” non Hemi fenders; no gills” !! Coincidence?? He said he has had the car over 20 yrs, bought it from estate sale. I’ve been a known mopar guy in my parts for 30 yrs; I know of most , if not all Mopars on the Island. I was surprised, after speaking to this guy , I never heard of this one. I will try to get you the info.
And guess what? It turned out the be the car after all! The thieves had sold the car without a title for $3,000. The owner got his car back thanks to the sleuths at Moparts.
Out of five stamps total, Ma Mopar scored two stamps on the new USPS Muscle Car Stamps: a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona and a 1970 Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda (which you can see after the jump). Not bad! Get them today before they’re gone! Via USPS
Talk about rare! They just made 203 of these–and most are gonna be either long gone or fully restored. This one looks like an awesome project, despite some obvious rust here and there (needs trunk and floors). A few more pics after the jump and you can see the rest on eBay!
Update: looks like it sold for $12,050!
This is what happens when you let a car rot away in a damp concrete building. It literally came apart when they tried to pull it out. Think that’ll buff out? More pics at Spotlight Hobbies
