1971 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA CUSTOM CONVERTIBLE

Details

This 1971 Plymouth Barracuda is a rotisserie fully remodified 'Cuda convertible. The engine features a custom-grind cam, balancing and blueprinting the whole set-up and throwing in a bunch of hand-picked bolt-ons. The result is a modern 7-liter V8 HEMI engine hooked to a slick-shifting TREMEC TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission that's fitted with a heavy-duty hydraulic clutch. That transmission utilizes a custom aluminum driveshaft to twist an upgraded Truetrac differential around 3.91 gears,

alloy axles and alloy wheel studs. A Level II suspension was added and also includes variable-rate power steering, Hyperco coilover shocks, Hydro-Boost power disc brakes, and Budnik 18-inch wheels. The result is a car with better handling, chassis, and increased rigidity to the body. In the cockpit of the car, you will find the timeless good looks of American muscle meld seamlessly with tasteful upgrades and modern conveniences. The Recaro bucket and factory bench seats, which are wrapped in bright Xtreme leather, feel much more upscale than traditional Mopar hardware. At the base of those seats, fresh wool carpet centers a TKO pistol grip shifter inside billet foot pedals, color-keyed floor mats and high quality Dynamat insulation. At the edge of that carpet, leather-wrapped side panels hang traditional door handles and great sounding Alpine kick speakers in front of smooth power windows and remote power door locks. At the front of those panels, a leather-wrapped dash anchors silver-face Xtreme gauges above modern Alpine audio and controls for a Vintage Air climate system. With its tenacious VB, modern 5-speed and slick red on white color combination, this Mopar combines explosive horsepower with modern driving characteristics and classic appeal. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
