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.

'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]

Mon, 16 Jun 2014


We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.

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.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

The Plymouth Superbird is one of those classic American cars from the muscle car era that has captured the imagination of all sorts of automotive enthusiasts long after its presence on roads and race tracks wore away. It's easy to see why. Where else but in the Swingin' Sixties and Seventies would a car leave the factory with an aerodynamics package that included a pointy beak and a rear spoiler that sat several feet above the rear deck?
The example you see above, which was born in 1970, is one of the finest Superbirds we've ever seen. Combine its complete restoration with its original 426 Hemi engine, and it's no surprise that it managed to bring in a cool half million dollars (plus 10 percent in fees) at Barrett-Jackson. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above, and scroll down below for the official auction description.
