Under the hood of this Barracuda is a 340 6-Pack V8 engine that was has been rebuilt and has roughly 100 miles on it. The 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission transfers the power to the 8 3/4 Sure-Grip rear end which houses 3.55 gears. The transmission and rear end were also rebuilt at the same time as the engine. The red exterior paint looks fantastic, and is complemented by the black striping down the side that runs to the Cuda AAR decal.

Rear window louvers have been installed and add to the overall red and black color scheme of this build. The black vinyl interior is also in very good condition. The classic black vinyl is accented by a wood grain gauge cluster and console. The first thing that hits you on this Barracuda is the menacing front end, and hood scoops rising from the hood. Out back you will see the rear valance with cutouts for the rectangular stainless exhaust tips. This car reeks of Mopar styling, and looks awesome while doing it. The 17" Magnum 500 wheels are wrapped in BF Goodrich Radials, and provide an excellent stance and appearance for this awesome build.
