This Auction is for a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Super Stock Resto-Mod 510h.p / 520 ft./lbs. Torque. This car comes with a certificate of Authenticity From All American Muscle Cars, LTD.   Plymouth only made 50 of these cars (read below) and I've been told there are only two (2) of these cars left that could be completely restored, the other 48 are parts cars or were destroyed on the race track.  This car was restored by All American Muscle Cars and was modified to make it drivable on the road.  Back in the day, the Hemi Plymouth Barracudas were king of the drag strip.  The 426 Hemi was nicknamed the "elephant engine" at the time, a reference to its far-from compact dimensions and extraordinary power.  These Hemi packaged vehicles turned times in the ten second range at 135+ MPH in the SS/AH class.  This car is known as the "The Rogue Elephant" and was fitted with the Cherrick Performance Package.  This Package included the following:

• Professional Body Restoration and Paint by Randy Misekow
• 1970 Rally Red Paint
• New Mopar 426 Cu. In. Hemi Crate Engine
• New Holly 770 CFM Carburetors
• New Cross Ram Manifold
• New Tremec Manual 5-Speed Transmission with Over Drive
• New BeCool Cooling Package
• New Martz Engineering Front & Rear Coil Over Suspension
• New Wilwood Brakes & Hardware
• New Hedman Headers
• New Boyd Coddington Junk Yard Dog 17" Polished Aluminum Wheels
• New Moser Dana 60 Rear End w/4.11 Gear and Posi Traction

In 1968 Plymouth prepared 50 special Barracudas for Superstock racing under the B029 tag. These all featured the potent HEMI engine as part of a high-performance package. They were intended for some of the best Super Stock teams including Sox & Martin.

The Rogue Elephant began with a solid and straight donor vehicle, an original Barracuda Formula S. This vehicle was given a rotisserie nuts and bolts restoration and was rebuilt as a Super Stock HEMI Barracuda resto-mod by Rick and Cheri Radu, owners of All American Muscle Cars, Ltd.

The AAMC ’68 Super Stock HEMI Barracuda has separated itself from the others, standing out from the crowd with its fierce power and brawny looks. The aggressive stance challenges anyone to stand in its way, against its 510 horsepower and 525 ft-lb torque.

This vehicle, built to be driven on the street, is for anyone who wants to stand out and be noticed. Its a real crowd-pleaser and attention getter. Under the hood, you’ll find a Mopar 426cid HEMI Crate Engine, topped with dual Holley carburetors on a cross ram manifold. Hedman headers, a Be Cool cooling package and Tremec 5-speed manual transmission and a Moser Dana 60 rear axle with 4.11 gears and Sure Grip rear round out the street-friendly package.

Chassis magic includes Martz Engineering front and rear coil-over suspension, with Wilwood brakes under Boyd Coddington Junk Yard Dog 17-inch polished aluminum wheels.

This car made it's first public appearance and debut at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum on August 10, 2006.  More than 300 Mopar enthusiasts and Daimler Chrysler Chief Engineers and Senior Executive V.P marveled at the re-engineered 1968 Super Stock Hemi Barracuda resto-mod.  Most were speechless at the spectacle of the Pebble Beach quality restoration and attention to fine details.  As quoted by Don Goodwin, Senior Executive V.P, T"this vehicle is impeccable and a true tribute to a history making icon king of the strip."

The cars were built at the Hamtramck plant in Michigan along with the HEMI Darts. The steel bodies were stock but had seam sealer, sound deadening and insulation removed. The cars were finished in a grey primer with front panels made of fibreglass painted in black. A functional air scoop was included on the hood.

All interiors were very basic. Finished in a standard black upholstery, the heater and radio were deleted from the build. The front seats were replaced by lightweight Bostom Companion buckets which the rear seat was completely removed and replaced by a cardboard panel. Lighter glass was fitted as was a smaller 135-amp battery in the trunk.
