Plymouth Barracuda 1968

35000 USD

CAR DESCRIPTION FROM SELLER
The 1968 Barracuda coupe was painted B5 Mopar Blue some time ago but was recently color sanded and buffed to like-new condition. While there are some minor (very small) imperfections in the paint, it is in very nice shape. Wheels are US Mags (Magnum-style) with high performance tires.The 440-cid engine was completely rebuilt and bored 0.030-inch over by Precision Machine in nearby Santa Paula, California. The previous owner, Troy Martin topped the block with an Edelbrock Power Pack top end kit that included Edelbrock RPM 440-cid aluminum cylinder heads, Performer intake, and camshaft. The biggest change to driveability came with the installation of an MSD Atomic EFI unit that allows you to adjust the tune from inside the car with a remote programmer. An MSD Billet 6AL box fires the plugs, timing set at 14-degree initial, and 34 degrees all in. Estimates have the power set at close to 500 hp. While the stock ’68 Mopar oil pan and windage tray are used, the headers are from TTI feeding and flowing exhaust to 2.5-inch Dynamax mufflers and glass-packs (OTC exhaust cut-outs allow you uncork the exhaust remotely with the flip of a switch under the dash). The camshaft gives the Barracuda a very lopey sound but the brakes are solid and assisted by an electric brake booster tucked under the fenderwell. The Champion aluminum radiator keeps things cool enhanced with a pair of Flex-a-lite fans. The 1968 727 TorqueFlite transmission, reworked by Hughes Performance, uses a 2,500-stall speed converter of the same make. A Gear Vendors overdrive helps improve mileage when cruising flowing power back through a 3-inch diameter Driveshaft Pros driveshaft to the Currie 8 3/4-inch rear end out-fit with 3.25:1 ratio gearing. Four-wheel disc brakes are used all around, ’74 Mopar A-Body slotted discs are used up front and Ford Explorer units out back. The handling is quite good but the suspension is stiff - just to be fair. Hotchkis upper and lower control arms, front and rear sway bars, one-inch diameter torsion bars, Eaton springs and Hotchkis shocks finish off the chassis.
