“The Mule” B029 Super Stock Car Stalls at $125K at Mecum Indy​

Some cars are just plain legendary—and this one should’ve been untouchable. The very first 1968 Plymouth HEMI® Barracuda B029 Super Stock prototype, the one that kicked off an era of factory dragstrip dominance, rolled across the block at Mecum Indy 2025… and didn’t sell. That’s right—despite a $125,000 high bid, the reserve wasn’t met, and “The Mule” went back to the paddock.
