INTRODUCTION: Smoking hot! This bad fish has received a really good rotisserie restoration. From the bottom to the top, any angle you look at her is sexy. With its Scorch Red paint, totally rebuilt 340 V8 power plant and refurbished interior, this Barracuda will not disappoint!

EXTERIOR: This Scorch Red paint has been applied with great attention to detail then polished to a finish that is smooth and shiny. All the panels have been painstakingly aligned with nice consistent gaps that are right on the money. The doors close easily with minimal effort. The glass is all nice and clear with new rubber seals and fuzzy strips too. I'm absolutely in love with the fastback styling, one of my favorites of all time. Looking down the side of the body is satisfying with its smooth contours and crisp lines. The bumpers have been re-chromed and the remaining bright work has a glorious shine. The front grille appears to be virtually spotless, with a beautifully aggressive aesthetic. The tail panel has also been wonderfully refurbished, and the pop-up fuel filler is super cool too. It's rolling on a set of 14" Crager SS chrome rims that complement the car perfectly. They are wrapped in a good set of BFGoodrich Radial TA tires.

INTERIOR: Nicely refurbished and looking great. I love that it has a digital Bluetooth radio, thumb wheel style just like the original, and fits in the factory hole. The gauges and bezel also look fantastic. The dash pad has been replaced and the original style steering wheel beautifully refurbished. All the seats have been recovered in matching vinyl and it is equipped with seatbelts front and back. My favorite feature of this car is the fold-down rear seat with storage behind and a drop down hatch that has access clear into the trunk. The original style center console and shifter are in place and show very well. The door panels were also refinished and look amazing. The carpeting was replaced and the lights are working.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: All the details have been attended to. The very spunky 340 cubic inch V8 has been nicely rebuilt and upgraded with a Holley intake manifold and Edelbrock carburetor. A pair of Heddman headers flank the sides. It has also been upgraded with a Mopar electronic ignition system. The radiator appears to be rebuilt and it has a heavy duty 7 blade clutch fan. The battery is properly secured and has an optional master kill switch. The hoses and belts have been replaced, plus the squirters and horns are hooked up too. The underside of the hood is painted just like the body and complete with insulation. The firewall and fender wells have also been painted slick just like the exterior.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Having a working trunk light is very handy. The underside of the trunk lid and inside the jamb are nicely painted like the exterior. The weatherstrip was replaced and reproduction jack stickers added. A drop down hatch gives easy access to behind the rear seat. Under the vinyl trunk mat is all rock solid steel painted body color.

UNDERSIDE: It looks like a pristine rotisserie restoration from underneath. The floors, frame rails are so clean and painted gloss red just like the top. All of the suspension and steering was removed and rebuilt. The brakes were redone and it has discs in front. All new lines and a new stainless steel e-brake cable too. It also has a new factory type dual exhaust with stainless tips going out the back. The fuel system was replaced including the tank. Looking up at the engine it is very clean, so is the 727 Torqueflite automatic trans. A rebuilt drive shaft leads back to the beefy 8� rear end with 3.55 posi gears.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell.

CONCLUSION: Everything about this car is awesome! The color, wheels, and stance blend together perfectly providing the total package. And you'll feel proud being behind the wheel of it too, owning something that others only wish they could have!
