Vehicle Description
In a hobby that's chock full of numbers-matching time capsules and
show-stopping customs, it's always nice to see a tasteful muscle
car that's as tough as it is timeless. A head turning road rocket,
this superb Barracuda and wraps stunning red and black aesthetics
around a customized cockpit, a full Schwartz chassis and 440 cubic
inches of hot MoPar stroker! Searching for a broad-shouldered
classic that wraps killer performance in outstanding good looks?
Check out this exceptional E-Body!
LIKE 1970, BUT BETTER!
The product of a professional, ground-up build that mixed years of
skill with a heavy checkbook, this solid coupe wears an
impressively straight fuselage that's been massaged to
better-than-factory alignment. The car's crisp Crimson two-stage
shines rich behind fresh bumpers, color-keyed mirrors, crystal
clear lighting and stylish 440 Banners. An extra layer of menace
comes courtesy of dark-tint glass, which look great between Satin
Black frames and a Satin Black spoiler. And it all adds up to one
of the coolest Plymouth resto-mods on the planet!
THE BETTER 440
The iconic "440' lettering on this Barracuda's clean quarters hints
at legendary big block power. That said, even hints can be
deceiving, as the car's thoroughbred V8 certainly isn't an assembly
line transplant. Sourced directly from Bouchillon Performance
Engineering, this $14K small block is stroked all the way out to an
impressive 550 horsepower and a massive 560 lb./ft. of tire-killing
torque! At the top of the Mopar Performance 340 block, a stealthy
Mopar Performance air cleaner feeds a 750cfm Holley 4-barrel, which
feeds a color-keyed Edelbrock intake. That aluminum intake feeds
aluminum Indy TA heads, which stack Mopar Performance valve covers
under one billet breather and one stainless MoPar breather. A
forged crank and forged pistons work well with a hydraulic roller
cam. Compression gets sparked by loomed wires, which are sequenced
to a points-style distributor and an MSD Blaster 2 coil. Spent
gases exit through custom stainless headers. Cooling comes courtesy
of a lightweight aluminum radiator, which is teamed with a Griffin
cap and two SPAL puller fans. A chrome Saginaw steering pump joins
a polished alternator and a polished Sanden AC compressor behind a
Billet Specialties Tru Trac serpentine drive. Details are on point,
with billet tanks, trick sticks and sleeved lines framing a JEGS
linkage, FAST fuel components and a Charlies oil pan. And the car's
body-matched engine bay looks great under modern hood pins and
billet hood supports.
A BETTER EXPERIENCE
Bottom-side, a smooth hydraulic clutch kicks a tough Tremec TKO600
5-speed, which spins a spry Moser 9-inch that's built with
31-spline axles and a proven Truetrac posi. That premium
drivetrain, installed by the pros at Bouchillon Performance
Engineering, pushes a powder-coated Schwartz Performance chassis.
Those bones, spanning big sway bars, tubular control arms and
quality Ridetech coil-overs, trail an independent front-half with a
4-link rear-clip. Turns come courtesy of Fox Body-style power
rack-and-pinion steering. Power-assisted Wilwood calipers push 20
pistons against a quartet of 13-inch cross-drilled rotors. A
thrill-inducing soundtrack fills large-diameter pipes that thread
throaty Flowmaster mufflers on their way to welded resonators and
polished tips. And at the corners of the chassis, handsome
Forgeline GA3s spin 255/40ZR17 Continental Extreme Contacts in
front of 295/35ZR18 Continental Extreme Contacts.
LIKE 1972, BUT BETTER!
Open this E-Body's solid doors and you'll find an attractive Black
interior that's blessed with just the right amount of modification.
Tall bucket seats join a factory bench on premium, fade-free
carpet. A padded dash hangs MoPar-branded AutoMeter telemetry above
modern air conditioning and modern Pioneer audio. Pick-free side
panels parallel a short Hurst shifter and cool, 'cuda-branded floor
mats. The driver spins an elegant Flaming River Waterfall wheel
around a modern, tilting column. And a clean trunk frames a massive
Pyrotect fuel cell.
The true beauty of a classic car is that it can be anything you
want it to be. Love original lines, but want a little more
substance? Looking for some killer metal that'll wow crowds AND
tear up the roads? Here it is, no compromises, no disclaimers and
no excuses!
