One Smooth 1970 Plymouth Barracuda

Steve Oliveira purchased this 318 powered Barracuda in 1977. After a few, shall we say, modifications it has become the blown, 605 ci Hemi-powered, +1000 hp beauty that you see here. He describes the car with the following statement: “Whereas a modern car invites you to take it out for a drive, this one dares you to.” We like that! Find more info at Hot Rod. More pics after the jump!

The Other Auction – Gooding & Company

Lots of auctions are going on during auction week in Phoenix.  Barrett-Jackson and Russo and Steele are the biggest but Gooding is pretty big, too. They tend to have more high end and European cars but they had a couple of Mopars. Of course we had to check them out…

One Mopar was a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T.  Was not so impressed with this car as it was missing its fender tag and was a 440-4 car.  It is a 4-speed car though. Auction estimate was $80-100k!
