Yeah, the ‘70 RR from Rough Cut is just a wee bit less famous than, say The Bandit. In fact, while I remember that there were a bunch of cars involved, I don’t remember a Plymouth at all. It has been a while since I last saw it on the Sunday afternoon movie feature, however.
1970 Plymouth Roadrunner (383, auto, buckets)
You could get them like this, right?
Needless to say, the provenance (if it can be established) probably won’t add much when Vantertook sells it as part of the Todd Alley collection in Lincoln, Nebraska, on May 30. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t half-a-dozen interesting cars, and a bunch of tools and parts, in what looks like an estate sale. Plus: The rare Sam Posey rearend option, which is apparently part of an offroad package.
1978 Pontiac Trans Am. “All original,” Skybird.
1972 Chevy El Camino SS. “Restorated motor,” 327, 4-speed automatic (?)
1970 Chevy Nova. 302, 11:1, “448 Posey Track.” 4.48 posi, maybe?
1970 Dodge Charger. 318, four-speed automatic (?), “Special Edition.” Yep. Special.
1968 Pontiac GTO. 400, four-speed, Bonneville Tempest Sprint package
1969 Customized Corvair. 305 V-8, four-speed. I kind of like this - it’s still rear-engined.
If these are refurbished, they’re home jobs, and there’s work to be undone - check the auction site for more photos. But the auctioneer clearly doesn’t know anything about cars, so a fun driver might be had cheap here. Let’s hope they don’t think they’ve got gold, though, because these things are rough. Only the RR and GTO are candidates to break $20,000, and we’d want to see some PHS documents for the Goat. I’d say the Trans Am and Charger, too, but the 318 and primer don’t do the Dodge any favors, and the TA has 109,000 miles.
It’s also a little surprising at this point to find two Mopars with what are probably the correct 318 and 383s respectively, after so many of those got Hemi-ized.
