After building the Max HEMI and selling it for charity at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2006, Boyd and his crew including Duane Mayer dreamed of making a faster and cooler car to make a difference in the lives of others. Out of that dream, the idea for the Coddington HEMI Barracuda was born. Boyd wanted it to be fast, modern and powerful. Boyd really wanted to "one-up" himself. Tragically, Boyd never saw his dream come to fruition as he passed before the project was off the drawing boards. Armed with a new reason to create this car, Duane contacted the crew at West Coast Customs to finally make the dream a reality as homage to Boyd Coddington and his legacy. WCC embraced the project and along with Mark Holmes of Custom Rod Gauges, started the build of this one-of-a-kind masterpiece. They started with a 1967 Barracuda sport hardtop and replaced the engine with a modern monster, the 6.1 SRT8 HEMI engine. To maximize the nearly 500hp, they mated it to a 727 TorqueFlight transmission along with dual custom exhaust, a Griffith radiator, and a Magnum Force Mustang II front sub-frame and suspension. It stops smoothly through Wilwood disc brakes with stainless brake/fuel lines and aircraft-grade fuel/brake fittings. The eye appeal of this car is only something that the Coddington Team and the WCC crew could create. The exterior is done in two tone black paint with custom WCC grilles and moldings. It sits on Asanti wheels, 19" in front and 20" in the rear, to give it the right stance. The interior is decked out with a custom dash and instrumentation from Custom Rod Gauges that complement the custom, all black leather interior. Of course, it features a custom WCC stereo with 6.5 WCC Orion component speakers front and rear, 1600 watt WCC Orion mono block amp for the subs, 800 watt PPI 4 channel amp for the highs, two 10" 1600 watt WCC Orion sub-woofers, a Visualogic V-mod computer system, Kinetic 1400 battery, Sony 6.5 monitor, and custom fiberglass kick panels and rear sub box. Other modern conveniences like high volume air conditioning and heat make this a very comfortable car. In true Coddington and WCC style, the entire build was filmed and documented on Discovery Channel's "Street Customs" TV show.

'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The 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 2014The 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 2014The 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.
