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.
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!
One of those historically significant automotive names, Plymouth was not only named after the famous rock, but also a brand of binder’s twine. Sadly this marque is no more, but they gave us some epic models such as the Roadrunner, Fury, Barracuda and more. Today, we have something a bit older, something from their 1940s collection. This 1950 Plymouth P20 Special Deluxe Convertible Restomod is part of the Plymouth De Luxe line that ran between 1933 and 1942, and again from 1946 to 1950. These full-sized cars came in various body styles, and this particular 40,928-mile machine is a lovely drop-top. It’s got a beige electrically operated convertible top, a newer 350ci V8, an automatic gearbox and more things to make every drive even sweeter.
In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
