SonofaBarracuda
Check out this badass ’70 ‘Cuda that the folks at Dr. Mopar’s High Performance are building for Chance Barden. Chris “Doc” Ketteman, owner of Dr. Mopar’s High Performance in Burlington, North Carolina writes:
The vehicle has a 6.1 Hemi with upgraded camshaft, custom Moser 8.75 housing, Ride Tech Air Ride Suspension, Painless wiring, Wilwood 4 wheel Disc brakes, Champion Aluminum Radiator, Bouchillon front p/s alternator serpentine accessory kit, TTI Exhaust headers with cutouts. Will be using 10 w 30 Cam2 Blue Blood Racing Oil and Baldwin Oil Filter for lubrication. We are an “Authorized dealer of Cam2 Racing Oil”. The paint is flat black on hood/decklid, with a color mix close to driftwood beige metallic on the rest of the body. Chance also incorporated a built in spoiler on the body/decklid. Currently we are finishing wiring in the vehicle, and will be running 6AN fuel lines/fittings with push lock ends, getting the vehicle ready to crank and to the dyno. Any computer programming will be via a Diablosport Tuner. Dr. Mopar’s High Performance
Street Hemis Featured at Hemmings Concourse d’Elegance
Ma Mopar’s elephant engine got some serious respect this weekend in New York’s Saratoga Spa State Park at Hemmings Motor News Concourse d’Elegance. I wish I lived anywhere near there! I can almost hear that sweet lumpy idle. The article in Hemmings gives a great synopsis of the engine that dominated NASCAR. Read about it here.
Update: you can see some pics here.
1970 Plymouth Barracuda Barn Find on eBay
Check out this Barracuda barn find! The ‘Cuda was last on the road in 1976 with the Pennsylvania Bicentennial license plate to prove it! Originally a 383 pistol grip 4-speed car, although it no longer has its numbers matching engine. It’s a B3 blue car with matching interior. Mileage is indicated to be 64,403. The owner has started the restoration with the professional installation of some AMD sheet metal, but has decided to sell. He seems to give a fairly detailed description of the car listing both good points and bad. Bidding currently sits at $11,000 with the reserve not met. Worth it? Find it here on eBay. More pictures after the jump!
Reader’s Rides: Rick Miller’s 1970 Dodge Challenger SE
Today’s reader’s ride is owned by Rick Miller from Manchester, New Hampshire. It’s a numbers matching 1970 Dodge Challenger SE. All stock, 383 2V with AC, automatic and factory disc brakes. Other options include a rim blow steering wheel, five speaker AM/FM stereo, rear window defroster, and W23 road wheels. Rick has two copies of the build sheet and owner history back to 1973. More pics after the jump!
Rocket Restorations
I dropped by Rocket Restorations in Olympia, Washington yesterday to say hi to my buddy Tom and look around his shop a bit. It was my first visit and I was not disappointed–he had some very cool stuff. Like an A12 Road Runner that was just about done (I would kill for this car). A beautiful freshly painted silver ’69 Charger. A Challenger SE in the middle of a somewhat challenging vinyl top install. A cool Dart GTS. A ’67 Satellite getting a fuel injection setup. A ’62 Dodge convertible that had received a ton of metal work. A few freshly rebuilt motors on stands. Tons and tons of parts. Oh, and his old Barracuda LeMons race car. These guys do great work, so if you are in the area and need help with your Mopar, give ’em a call. (Be sure to like their Facebook page, too.) See the rest of the pics after the jump!
Game Over ‘Cuda
This got posted on the Mopars United Facebook page and I thought it was kind of cool. What do you think? Anyone know this car?
Vote for the 2013 Hemmings Muscle Machine of the Year!

Mopar Album Cover: Earth’s Pentastar: In the Style of Demons
Here’s one of my all-time favorite Mopar album covers. And it’s a good record, too (got it on vinyl in my basement somewhere).
Incredible Low Mile 1971 Hemi ‘Cuda on eBay
They only built 108 Hemi ‘Cuda hardtops in 1971 and I doubt you’ll find one nicer than this. Wearing its original paint with just 2,010 miles, this ‘Cuda is also claimed to be the most heavily optioned 1971 ‘Cuda in existence. And it looks absolutely stunning in Rallye Red with those big billboards. Yeah, it’s an automatic, but I dig the vinyl split bench seat (a $16 option). Lots more pics plus the extensive auction text from the guys at RK Motors after the jump. Yeah, they want almost $2 million for this bad boy but I’d say it’s worth it…
