Details

This HEMI ‘Cuda was professionally built in western New York. Starting with a rust-free small V8 Barracuda convertible, no expense was spared to build a Resto-Mod with upgraded performance capabilities. A modern Chrysler powertrain was utilized to attain peak performance without the hassle of special fuel. The complete 6.1-liter HEMI engine and matching overdrive automatic transmission from a late-model Dodge Challenger SRT were utilized, and additional horsepower comes from the ProCharger supercharger fitted to the car. All engine management electronics were also utilized from the donor Challenger for ease of tuning, maintenance and troubleshooting. Suspension, brakes, gauges and all audio equipment are top-of-the-line components. Nice paint work and numerous styling modifications are topped off by a custom black cloth power convertible top. The interior was done in black leather with a full custom state-of-the-art gauge insert in the stock dash. Custom-fitted, special-order wheels were supplied by Fesler to finish off the look of this ‘Cuda. Only a few careful miles have been driven since this car’s completion.
