1970 Plymouth Barracuda

The 1970 Plymouth Barracuda represents the single most significant year in the models entire production history, and arguably one of the most important model years in the entire history of American muscle cars. Plymouth moved the Barracuda to the all-new E-body platform for 1970, giving it a long-hood short-deck silhouette, a dramatically lower stance, and a presence that stopped people on the street in a way that nothing Plymouth had built before it could manage. This one is finished in red with a black hood and black rear spoiler, wearing the body the way it was always meant to be worn, and it has been rebuilt from the ground up into something that uses that iconic shape as the foundation for a purpose-built street and track machine. Only 500 miles have been put on the build.

Under the hood is a complete 408 cubic inch small block stroker built by Proformance Engines, producing 545 horsepower and 565 pound-feet of torque. The build includes all new parts throughout, with the engine backed by a T56 six speed manual transmission sourced from American Powertrain. A Be Cool radiator with electronic fans, Vintage Air climate control, and a complete American AutoWire rewiring kit mean this car has been rebuilt electrically and mechanically from one end to the other. A new gas tank and full wiring harness round out a drivetrain that has been sorted properly, not pieced together.

The chassis underneath has received the same level of attention. Reilly Motorsports complete coilover suspension with the AlterKtion front end and Street-Lynx rear setup, Wilwood 11.25 inch four-piston disc brakes front and rear with hydro boost, welded torque boxes and chassis bracing for extra rigidity, and a hydraulic e-brake round out a car that handles and stops with the same authority it accelerates. The roll cage and harnesses are certified through 2027. The battery has been relocated to the trunk for better weight distribution.

Inside, the black leather interior is clean and purposeful. Autometer carbon fiber gauges give you a real-time read on everything the engine is doing, and the cockpit has been set up around the driving experience first and foremost. The 1970 Barracudas E-body shape is one of the most sought-after in the entire American muscle car world, with the most desirable examples commanding prices that rival any other classic American performance car. A properly built red example with 500 miles on a full ground-up build, certified safety equipment, and the documentation to back it all up is exactly what serious buyers are looking for.
