Details

This custom 1970 Plymouth Barracuda hardtop is powered by a Mopar Performance 426ci HEMI engine with dual Edelbrock Thunder Series carburetors mated to a TKO 600 5-speed transmission with a fully hydraulic clutch. The engine is equipped with TTI headers and a motor plate, a Brad Davis radiator and fans, custom-fabricated March Performance serpentine pulleys, mired and smoothed aluminum HEMI valve covers, a 1968 Camaro fuel tank and a polished ceramic-coated exhaust from front to back (coated by Impact Coatings). This Barracuda also features a Taylor Ignition system and the engine block is sanded and polished. Finished in three-tone PPG base clear paint, nearly four gallons of silver base coat and two gallons of green base coat. The bottom side of the car was sprayed and cleared, and the exterior has had everything shaved: It has no marker lights or door handles and the trunk lock was relocated behind the license plate. The car features original sheet metal, except for the hood. The bumperettes were removed and the bumpers narrowed and tucked, shrunk and frenched-in. The rear valance was built from scratch, as were the top and bottom billet grilles with fog lights. All of the fender mounting lips and structures have been trimmed for a cleaner appearance. The radiator support was boxed and the grille finish panel was fabricated. The rear taillight bezels were removed and fabricated out of sheet metal, and all panels are fully gapped for a consistent fit. The body was completely panel-blocked, fully wet-sanded and the body panels were polished. This hardtop has a side-exit 3-inch exhaust with laser-cut chrome tips and rides on a Magnum Force front suspension unit with Wilwood disc brakes in the front and rear. All the chassis holes were filled, with a bolt in the chassis K-member fabricated from 1.75-inch DOM tube that ties the front and rear frame rails together. It is equipped with a Baer Performance Ford 9-inch rear end with 4.11 gears and Auburn posi-traction on a 4-bar custom rear suspension with Watts link. The interior is custom-fabricated with billet interior trim pieces from door panel to panel, a custom console, refaced gauges and needles, custom fiberglass molded rear seat delete panels, and fabricated and leather-wrapped trunk panels. The interior also features CNC-milled custom floor pedals, all-new custom gray tinted glass, a two-tone leather interior with suede inserts and a headliner with 2008 Corvette Z06 power bucket seats. **TITLED AS 1970 PLYMOUTH RECON** **TITLE IN TRANSIT** **SOLD ON BONDED TITLE**
