The Plymouth Barracuda needs no introduction to fans of the muscle car genre. By 1970 the model was in its third generation and was now based on the E-Body. It may have shared its underpinnings with the Dodge Challenger, but the sheet metal was completely different. Our featured car has been treated to an end-to-end restoration, with the owner reporting a new paint job, new engine, and new transmission. The motor itself has been upgraded with a Blueprint 408ci stroker engine in place, and there’s a host of other tasty upgrades that separate this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda from the herd.
The first thing you’ll notice is the striking paint job. It’s a shade of paint well-known in the muscle-car community: Plum Crazy Purple. The owner tells us that it's a custom job, and it perfectly highlights this car’s lines. The purple is beautifully set off with a contrasting vinyl roof, while you’ll also notice white 340 stickering on the rear fenders. This 1970 Plymouth Barracuda sits on period-looking 15-inch steel wheels which are wrapped in new BF Goodrich rubber with white-lettered sidewalls. Inside, you’ll find a black interior that blends originality with useful upgrades. There’s also a bank of AutoMeter auxiliary gauges that monitor water temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. There’s a pistol grip shifter in the center and the cabin benefits from the addition of a Vintage Air air conditioning system with all-new hoses and a new compressor. Meanwhile, there’s a RetroSound head unit paired with an amplifier and custom speaker boxes.
Under the hood of this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda restoration lies a Blueprint 408ci V8 that features a stroker kit. To handle fuelling, the carburetor has been upgraded to a Slayer series carb, and there’s a new high-torque starter motor too. Cooling is upgraded too, with a new external fan and cooler. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Chrysler TorqueFlite 727 automatic transmission. Last but not least, the owner reports a recent oil change too.
The automotive brand Plymouth was a familiar trademark in the American automotive market. Established by Chrysler Corporation, Plymouth took the job of offering competitively priced vehicle options that butted heads against brands like Ford and Chevrolet. Among all variants, the Barracuda retains a special place in their collection. Manufactured to compete in the Pony Car segment, the two-door Barracuda saw the light of day in 1964 and continued production for three generations. It was discontinued in 1974, making it a desired collectible today. What we have on offer here is a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda, which is located in Concord, North Carolina. Its current owner claims that the car has only 7000 miles on its clock. This car also comes with the Broadcast Sheet, magazine articles, a copy of the 440 ’Cuda Registry, and an owner’s manual.
Muscle cars from the '60s boasted a certain level of flash and personality - getting behind the wheel of one is an experience that can never be replicated in any classic or modern machinery. While you have your Mustangs and Camaros stealing the limelight, powerhouses like the Plymouth Barracuda also deserve their fair share of the muscle car lore. Present today is this 1971 Plymouth Barracuda. With just 12,469 miles on its clock, this muscle car powerhouse is a blend of the right modifications and Barracuda charm, and is seeking its new custodian.

Automakers don’t do silly things anymore. Like, say, create a muscle car and name it after a beloved cartoon character. Or spend a significant sum of money to buy the naming rights from the intellectual property holder of said character. Or spend even more money after that to develop a horn that sounds just like that character’s jaunty cry. That’s what Plymouth did in the Sixties, with the Road Runner. They paid Warner Brothers US$50,000 to license their Road Runner character’s name and likeness. Then, they spent a further $10,000 to develop a horn that said “Beep Beep” just like the character did on screen. Was it a success? You bet! In fact, if not for the Malaise Era’s impending arrival and renewed focus on fuel economy and emissions, the Road Runner might have run a little bit longer than 1980. Today, we have a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner for sale from Jacksonville, Florida. With a nice 383ci V8, an automatic gearbox and an aftermarket head unit from Pioneer, this 42,228-mile machine is a fine catch for a savvy collector of American classics – or someone who wants to start a collection.
Plymouth may no longer be around, but this storied American auto brand that was under Chrysler’s umbrella will perhaps be best remembered for their Road Runner muscle car. It may seem comical, naming a muscle car after a cartoon character – the Road Runner from the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons by Warner Brothers. It might seem even more comical that Plymouth paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers to license the name for the car. And it might seem ridiculous that they spent an extra $10,000 merely to develop a horn that made the signature “Beep Beep” sound of the Road Runner from the cartoons. Remember, all this was in Sixties money, so you can do some calculations and see how much was actually spent by Plymouth to get this iconic muscle car as right as possible. Today, Road Runners are highly desirable, so we’re glad that one has come our way. This 1969 Plymouth Road Runner hails from Pittsburgh and has got a 383ci V8 engine under its hood. If you’d like to catch this bird, give us a call or shoot us a DM right now – don’t call the coyote who clearly needs some coaching.
Beep Beep! Move over, it’s the Road Runner! Named after the lovable Warner Brothers character from the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons, Plymouth reportedly paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers for the right to use the Road Runner name and likeness. They spent a further $10,000 on development of a signature “Beep Beep” horn as well! Needless to say, the Road Runner was a massive success and remains one of America’s most loved muscle cars to this day. Now, we have a chance for one lucky enthusiast to get their hands on a massively upgraded 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Restomod from Milford, Pennsylvania. With its 440ci V8, Tremec TK500 5-speed manual transmission and Holley Six Pack Tri-Power system, this is one speedy car!
Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.
Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.
Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
