Vehicle Description
Offered here is a purpose-built 1968 Plymouth Barracuda drag car finished in White with an aggressive stance and a serious performance pedigree. Originally a classic Mopar icon, this Barracuda has been transformed into a professionally built, race-inspired machine featuring a rotisserie restoration, high-end components, and a drivetrain engineered for serious horsepower.
The centerpiece of this build is the potent 451 cubic inch stroker Big Block engine, producing approximately 600 horsepower at the crank. Built with a forged crankshaft, forged rods and pistons, solid roller cam, and roller rockers, this engine was designed for durability and performance. Feeding the big block is a performance intake setup with dual carburetors, complemented by a K&N air filter and a custom exhaust system that delivers the unmistakable sound of American horsepower.
Power is delivered through a 727 three-speed automatic transmission equipped with a 3,500 RPM stall converter, allowing this Barracuda to launch hard and put the power to the ground. Out back sits a narrowed Ford 9-inch rear end featuring a spool, Strange axles, and 3.80 gears — a proven combination built to handle the demands of drag racing. Wilwood disc brakes provide confident stopping power, completing a well-rounded performance package.
The body retains the iconic lines of the first-generation Barracuda and features a steel body with lightweight fiberglass bumpers. While the car shows approximately 70,000 miles on the body, it underwent a complete rotisserie build in 2017, resulting in a high-quality foundation for its current race-ready configuration.
Inside, the cabin is purpose-built with black leather bucket seats, a full roll cage, AutoMeter gauges, a push-button start, and a B&M performance shifter. Every detail reflects the car’s mission: a focused driver experience built around performance and control.
Whether you're searching for a unique collector-grade muscle car, a serious weekend drag strip contender, or a one-of-a-kind Mopar with a race-bred personality, this 1968 Plymouth Barracuda delivers an incredible combination of vintage styling, modern performance components, and 600-horsepower attitude. |
