It's getting more and more complicated to put something completely new and unprecedented on the wheels when it comes to restomods. Due to the large number of newly built and modified classics, it is often difficult to give the heart project a completely unique touch. Every tuner must therefore always come up with something new, but also make sure that the Approval regulations of the respective country must be taken into account. And one thing is clear, in Germany some restomods would not be allowed, which can be approved in the USA without any problems, as it is much stricter in this country Admission requirements there than is the case overseas. Let's get to this one-off Plymouth Barracuda from 1967, which is a little less than 4.000 miles (approx. 6.500 km) on the speedometer, and which of the current owner is only about 400 miles (approx. 650 km) was moved. This is now on the auction platform Bring a trailer auctioned, and it is expected that the highest bid at over $ 50.000 will lie.
Almost perfectly restored wolf in sheep's clothing!
If you plan to open the vehicle Show and shine competitions To present it, you still have to invest some money, as not all dents and scratches have been removed from the body, although the vehicle has been completely repainted and is now in black metallic. There were also 18-inch alloy wheels in a double-spoke design raised, which shine and sparkle like a precious stone with their chrome look.
Toyo tires with the model designation Proxy T1R raised. The brakes and the chassis have also been completely modified in order not to have to compromise on safety with the enormously increased performance. Only one thing should be changed, and that should be Three-point belts can be retrofitted, because the lap belts for the driver and front passenger do not guarantee adequate safety in the event of an accident. Otherwise, the vehicle is ready to drive without any problems, and an oil change was even carried out immediately before the auction.
Overall, the cost of restoration and the Remodeling run to a whopping $ 57.400, not counting man hours, paintwork and interior costs. This astronomical sum was devoured by the engine conversion and the chassis modifications.
There is a classic feeling in the interior.
Not only the overhauled lap belts, but also the entire cockpit and leather seats exude the flair of the late 1960s. The Plymouth Barracuda completely dispenses with modern bells and whistles such as digital instruments, a sound system or automatic air conditioning, and in our opinion that is a good thing.
A V10 crate engine from the Dodge Viper causes astonished looks.
Now the unusual centerpiece of the Plymouth Barracuda, which originally left the factory in 1967 with a weak six-cylinder engine, is completely revealed, and it is one Ten-cylinder suction gasoline engine with a huge 8,3 liter displacement, which originally served in the second generation of the Viper.
This is added to this Six-speed manual the second Viper generation, which was installed. Through various modifications to the engine, the Viper-Cuda 550 PS and a huge 800 Newton meters Provide maximum torque and thus generate spectacular driving performance. It would certainly be interesting to go to the drag strip with this capacity monster in order to use the full potential of the vehicle there.
