Movie Mopar of the Week: 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda Convertible from Nash Bridges

Posted on by

Don Johnson’s show Nash Bridges ran from 1996 to 2001. This was just before E-body convertible prices went sky high. Still, 1971 ‘Cudas are very rare so the show modified a bunch of 1970 Cudas to look like 1971s. Here’s some info from the seller of the claimed “Nash Bridges #1” car that was on eBay last year:

The show used 3 or 4 cars. They were ALL 1970 cars with ’71 features. This was Don’s favorite car that was driven often. During the show’s run, he had the car fitted with a 360 V8 and 4-speed with a shattershield. This (Nash #1) car eventually received a full-on rotisserie restoration and a crate Hemi engine. Also, a brighter color was chosen for all the cars during filming. It was found the correct yellow made the car look green to the camera.

It’s hard to find many scenes with the ‘Cuda on YouTube, but I have one short scene from the show after the jump. I also have a promo video for the sale of the #1 car mentioned above. Check ’em out!

1967 Plymouth Belvedere Gasser Project

Posted on by

After seeing the crazy red 1967 GTX gasser in Mark’s pics from Mopars in the Park, I got curious to see if I could find any other 66-7 B-body gassers. Well, I found one: this cool Belvedere 2-door sedan. These pics are from 2012, not sure what kind of progress has been made since then but it sure looks cool. More pics after the jump!

Vintage Mopar NASCARs To Be Featured at the Concours d’Elegance of America

Posted on by

This year’s Concours d’Elegance of America at St. John’s will feature vintage NASCARs, including several very cool Mopars. Pictured below is the 1970 Plymouth Superbird formerly raced by Ramo Stott, which apparently was the first Superbird to score a victory in a NASCAR-sanctioned event at the 1970 ARCA 300 at Daytona. After the jump I have a pic of a very cool 1972 Dodge Challenger “Kit Car” developed by Petty Enterprises to help aspiring circle track racers. You can read a lot more about these cars and the other non-Mopar NASCARs to be displayed over at Hemmings.

Cool Rallye Green A12 Road Runner Project on eBay

Posted on by

You’re looking at a numbers matching 4-speed Rallye Green 1969 1/2 Plymouth Road Runner. It originally came with a white top and white interior. How cool is that? Yes, it is rough–just look at the shot of the door after the jump–and probably overpriced, but it would be an awesome project for someone–it could end up looking like this when done. It didn’t sell on eBay for the $35,000 Buy It Now, and apparently it is now sitting at Carlisle with a $39,000 asking price. More pics after the jump!

Movie Mopar of the Week: 1967 Plymouth GTX Convertible from Tommy Boy

Posted on by

This is pretty clearly a Belvedere and not a GTX since it’s a bench seat/column shift car. And there is some speculation that it is actually the same car that was used in Joe Dirt. Anyway, the poor Mopar takes a hell of a beating in Tommy Boy. There’s a great compilation of all the scenes with the GTX in the movie after the jump!

1969 Plymouth Identity Crisis on Craigslist

Posted on by

Lets see, this Plymouth B-body has a a GTX deck lid panel, Road Runners on the doors and… Super Bee stripes???? (Not to mention the dreaded Chevy black spray bomb engine bay.) The guys at Moparts are calling it a “Bee-T-X.” Cool car, though, so the $11,500 asking price doesn’t seem totally unreasonable. Someone should get it and take it to a good therapist ASAP. More pics plus text from the Craigslist ad after the jump!

Reader’s Rides: Kevin Frazier’s 1975 Plymouth Duster

Posted on by

Check out this sweet Slant Six A-body, which has been in Kevin’s family since the beginning. Here’s the word from Kevin:

This Duster was originally bought in February of ’76. It was purchased by my Grandmother and has worked its way down to myself. This car was never sold until I bought it from my Father. He is the man that has restored this car and all I am doing is a little finishing touches. All mechanical has been rebuilt, interior has been recovered and paint has been done. We love playing with old cars like this out here in the woods of East Texas.
