If you’re a die-hard Mopar fan or just someone who appreciates high-powered muscle cars, then you’ll want to keep your eyes on this one-of-a-kind custom 1969 Plymouth Barracuda when it hits the auction block at Mecum Glendale on Saturday, March 22nd, 2025. This incredible machine has undergone a no-expense-spared rotisserie restoration and is now far from its factory-original form.
Originally rolling off the line at Dodge Main in Hamtramck, Michigan, with a 5.2-liter (318-cubic inch) LA small-block V8 producing 230 horsepower, this Barracuda (VIN: BH23F9B272160) has been transformed into an absolute beast. Under the hood now sits a monstrous 7.0-liter (426 cubic-inch) R3 V8 engine designed for racing. This one has a 13:1 compression ratio, with W-2 heads and a Cross Ram dual quad intake. This powerplant runs exclusively on C12 race fuel, so you know this car means business.
An automatic transmission, backing up that massive power is paired with a 5,200 stall torque converter and a Dana 60 rear end loaded with Moser 4.56 gears. It’s built for serious performance with 40-spline rear axles and an upgraded suspension featuring QA1 double adjustable front shocks and QA1 triple adjustable rear shocks. Stopping power is just as impressive thanks to four-wheel Wilwood disc brakes with cross-drilled rotors.
Dual 16-volt batteries power all this performance, ensuring the car stays ready for action. Despite its custom build, this Barracuda still retains its original broadcast sheet and trim tag—rare and important documents for any collector.
This car is more than just a showpiece; it’s a high-performance machine built to dominate. Whether you want to take it to the track or add it to your collection, this Barracuda will surely draw attention. Don’t miss your chance to bid on this exceptional Mopar when it crosses the block at Mecum Glendale.
