Hey all I bought my Barracuda in 2004 and every deployment have fixed it up to where I want it. I just got back from my 5th Deployment and I hope I’m done!

Basic Specs:? 
Motor: 
Built, stroked (.30 over), strengthened, and lightened 340 small block (~416 CI) All the goodies. In its current tune it should be putting down ~450 hp and 510 TQ. I had one horrible out of tune run at it laid down 353hp and 460 tq at the wheels. I have since tuned it all out, and it runs great. Does not smoke, drip, or use anything. It has around 9.4:1 CR and you can use 87-89 octane.  Even consider putting a turbo with this low compression. I've gotten over 20 MPG on the highway. ?Eagle 4.0 stroker crank, forged dish pistons, Mopar purple cam 7000 RPM, Edlebrock 340 aluminum heads, titanium valve train, solid lifters, Edlebrock RPM Air gap, tuned Holley 750 CFM double pumper, duel fuel inlets, fuel regulator, electric fuel pump, MSD billet distributor, MSD 6A ignition, It runs GREAT and cool in the dead of summer.

It is driver quality now but I have quite a few parts needed to update?. Repaint the exterior, again this is a drivers quality car and the paint looks good but there are some small bubbles and scratches, rough repaint section below the gas fill up flip switch, where it leaked down. a small dent in the hood from the too big air cleaner stud new handles and exterior mirrors. (Again they are all driver quality but show age).?Tail trim needs dents taken out.  A couple of smaller dents in the front light surrounds. ?Heater is stuck on low, it shorted out this way once and I have a new switch I have not yet installed, I have shut the heater doors, so it does not blow hot.   Install the Am radio or a radio of your choice. Only the ammeter, lights, turn signals, and tachometer work current. All gauges did work but have slowly deteriorated.  I have uninstalled gauges I to use. I would probably buy a new board.  I have ton’s of extra parts and new show quality parts to go with this including a brand new dash.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars

Wed, 30 Jul 2014

The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.

US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.
