I’ve seen this car in person a few times at the Mopars Unlimited Spring Roundup and it’s very cool. But now it’s gotten featured by the Associated Press and has been picked up by a bunch of mainstream blogs. Read the full article at Komo News!
This thing has all the goodies from modern 6.1 Hemi power to big Willwood brakes. Wheels are custom Boze Alloy with Yokohama Advan STs–235/55R18 front and 305/45R20 rear. External mods include a ’72 Road Runner grille and a tucked ’71 Road Runner bumper. I dig the fiberglass hood with the old school Air Grabber. See more pics after the jump and check out the auction at eBay!
Update: it got bid up to $35,300 but reserve not met. Is the pro touring thing played out?
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.
Talk about a creampuff! This thing has just 1,200 miles and looks great in Bright Silver Metallic! Chrysler built just 3,124 of these in 2001 and 11,702 in total. Yes, these only have V6 power, but I still think they are cool and will always be unique. More pics after the jump and be sure to check out the auction at eBay.
Update: looks like the Prowler only got bid up to $20,101. Not even close to the $35,877 Buy It Now.
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
Should the 24 Hours of Lemons be limited to 80s and 90s crapboxes? We think not. Old Mopars can be competitive and a hell of a lot cooler than a junk Nissan or Toyota. Just check out this 4-speed Slant 6 ’64 Barracuda out of Olympia, Washington. Other Mopars competing in the 24 Hours of Lemons across the country include a ’72 Coronet in Texas, a ’65 Barracuda in Florida, a ’64 Dart on the East Coast, and a ’74 Duster and ’72 Scamp in California.

This Florida 318-powered four door C-barge looks to be a real solid survivor. Seller claims it has 98,700 original miles with minimal rust. If this was local to me I’d be all over it… See two more pics after the jump and check it out the auction on eBay
Update: got bid up to $2,850 but reserve not met!
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
