This is an amazing car to restore and we are glad to be a part of it. It is a factory 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda 440-6 pack with 4 speed manual and Dana 4:10 rear end. This car was a race car from the first day out of Chicago area. After its racing days in the 1970s were done, it was left for dead and when it was finally found it was highly cut up and rusted bad.

Progress Pages Updated
We have posted some fresh updates on some restoration projects. Follow the links below to see the new pictures and updates.
1971 Dodge Super Bee
This 71 Dodge Super Bee was brought too us in a yellow color and it was actually running and driving. It appeared to be a real solid clean body that was just wore out and suffering from some 1980’s modifications. It was one of the nicer and cleaner Mopars that we have seen in a while so we were excited to work on it.
The owner wanted it brought back to life in its original color and options which we were happy to do. It was originally a beautiful gold with black stripes and interior. It is also an original 383 Magnum with 4-Speed manual transmission which made it even better.
Spring 2020
This project is back moving again and getting very close. Who would have ever thought a gold B-Body could look so good?
1969 Camaro SS
This is another one of those projects that we take in where we just fix a few things and move it on its way. We are prepping this SS Camaro for a new top and then doing some fixes to the paint work and then a complete polish and buff.
1966 Ford Mustang
This is a quick project we took in to keep some inside work this winter. The owner bought it for his wife for an anniversary present sight unseen from North Carolina and shipped straight here (in California) for some quick work and a clean up. Just needed exhaust and a top (yeah, we have heard that before). After installing the new top we tried to drive it over to the upholstery shop. On the way the tires blew out and the car didn’t make it. Since we got it back home we had the rims powder coated and new tires installed. The interior was so wiped out it was brown instead of blue and white like it was supposed to be. None of the electrical worked…and we mean nothing. So there ended up being lots of work ahead for us. What was going to be a quick project is turning out a bit longer

1970 Dodge Challenger Pink – $POR
This is a factory original 1970 Dodge Challenger RT 440 Magnum car…but what makes it really unique is the color combination!
The car is a factory FM3 Panther Pink car with Hot Magenta stripe and blacked out hood. Yes, it was originally ordered that way and we have the original build sheet! There were only 2 Pink/Pink 440 4-barrel cars produced from Chrysler. So it is a one of two built car. It has been off the road since the late 70’s and has only accumulated 44k original miles. Unfortunately it was side swiped on the passenger side (fixed now) and then left for dead in the original owners yard. The motor and trans were pulled and the car was sold to the 2nd owner in Michigan. Restoration was started in the 80’s, but only a small amount was completed. Mostly it sat around in the garage with other pink cars.
Mopar Collectors guide did an article on this car back in the 90’s, but still, nothing more was done. We purchased the car in the early 2000’s and began finding parts and working on the restoration. Because we took our time, the car has tons of original parts. The interior is mostly original including seat covers, door panels and the dash pad. The carpet and headliner are new.
The motor has the correct dates F440-HP along with the transmission. Most of the parts we used are OEM or NOS. The rear wing was added by the 2nd owner and we left it in place. The car is on the last leg of restoration and is getting close to being finished and it will be for sale when completed.
Contact us if you are interested in the completed car. One of the rarest challengers on the planet, and documented.
22 Oct 2019 – Update! Its a big day for the pink Challenger. We install the motor and front end all as one unit, just like at the factory.
Feb 2020 – After final buffing, this car is done and is amazing! If you would like to come see it, it will be at Muscle Cars at the Strip 2020. March of this year. Certainly a car you will probably never see another one like.
1960 Chrysler New Yorker Convertible – $69k
Here is an ultra rare 1960 Chrysler convertible New Yorker. It is 1 of only 556 produced. There are far fewer than that still around today.
This car was special ordered by Ross Roy and included the special ordered red leather interior. The fender tag shows the special order number of 999 for the interior. We also have been in contact with Rex Roy, son of Ross Roy, to confirm that Ross had the car pulled from the line and the custom interior installed. The interior is still the original interior that came in the car. The outside has been painted once since original. Some of the chrome has been redone but mostly the car is in original condition.
After we purchased the car, we started to fix some of the items that were not working. The power windows have been completely rebuilt and the top and frame have been rebuilt and now work great. The brakes were also rebuilt and now stop the car well. We also have added new tires and gave it a tune up. We simply made it a nice driver car so it can now be driven and look great. It does have some rust on the underside but the frames are solid.
Very few of these cars remain and there are not any others with black paint and red leather. This is a true 1 of 1 car with a unique history. Drive and enjoy now or choose to do a full restoration. There is no better color on these cars than black.
Offered at $69k
