1970 Plymouth Barracuda STK 70-ATL.mpg
This 1970 Barracuda is about the experience. Mopar muscle delivers the goods, puts a grin on your face when you mash the throttle, and smoothes the wrinkles on your face. And if you�re going to build a Mopar it has to be Plum Crazy Purple with the 440 call outs. Personally, it�s our favorite color for any Mopar, and on this �Cuda�s sheet metal, it really pops. Add in the black hockey sticks and this car is dazzling. Bodywork is excellent, no patches, no filler, just fresh metal as the perfect foundation for the killer paint. A satin black Go-Wing has been installed on the deck lid. Add Foose wheels, (17 front and 18 back) and you have the ride everyone will envy. This car's windows have also been tinted and give it a down right killer look rolling on the bright come wheels.
In the case of this �Cuda, the driving experience is more like a spiritual awakening and a trip back to when gas was cheap, cars were fast, and life was easy.. This �Cuda packs one of the most famous engines to ever roll off an assembly line, a 440 with an Edelbrock hi rise and a 750 cc Holley 4-barrel carburetor feeds this infamous engine. A set of chrome valve covers really adds an eye pleasing touch. As you'd expect, it�s nicely detailed under the hood. Exhaust duties are handled by a set of correct cast-iron manifolds, not tubular headers, and up top there�s a hood scoop feeding that hungry 4-barrel Holley. The real goal was to build a ground-pounding Cuda that will embarrass just about anything on four wheels, and in that regard, the car is a smashing success. A 727 Toque Flight with a 83/4 posi track and 276 gears is a nice touch for putting power to pavement but keeping the highway RPMs reasonable.
Of all the muscle being pumped out in the late �60s and early �70s, the Mopar interiors seem to be the most inviting. Maybe it�s those high-back buckets that are every bit as comfortable as they look. Maybe it�s the B&M shifter, or the cool array of gauges that look race-car inspired. You sit low in a �Cuda, but visibility is good, and you�ll never get tired hearing the 440 Exhaust note. The black seats are new, as is the foam underneath so you can cruise for hours comfortably. The dash has been restored and is full of gauges, not just warning lights. A JVC sound system replaces the old AM radio, and a new pro grip makes the steering wheel look like new. There�s no question about the experience you'll have owning this classic Mopar muscle.
