1972 Plymouth Barracuda

The powerplant that turns heads on this car is a Mopar Crate 528 CID Hemi V8, packing a dyno-proven 516 Horsepower to the wheels. As soon as you turn the key on and crank this engine over, you can feel the raw power flow through the custom built Boom Tube exhaust. The engine on this car was actually built by Rick Cassel, who was the crew chief for Jack Beckman on the Valvoline Funny Car team. During this restoration, every detail was paid attention to, including all the sheet metal direct from Mopar. Every bolt on this car was upgraded with top of the line hardware.
