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.

Tuesday at Barrett-Jackson
Tuesday is normally not a super exciting day at Barrett-Jackson, but since Barrett was selling the majority of the Ron Pratte collection that night, the room was full and the bidding was crazy. Ron is a big time collector in the Phoenix area and had been buying high end cars at Barrett-Jackson for years. He decided to liquidate his collection through BJ and it was very fun to watch. This included two Hemi Mopars that did very well. The first car up was a 1970 Dodge Charger with a 426 Hemi and a 4-speed. Bidding was furious and shot up to $190,000 right away–unseen levels for a Hemi B-Body. It ended up at $200,000. Here is a picture of the car:
