These days, it's becoming increasingly hard to get your hands on a modern pony or muscle car, with the 2024 Chevy Camaro biting the dust after a Collector's Edition and the Garage 56 ZL1, plus the ICE-powered Dodge Challenger and Charger also retiring to make way for the nine levels of Banshee EV bestowed upon the upcoming Dodge Charger Daytona SRT.
As such, getting your hands on a pristine muscle car from the classic series might be infinitely more challenging. Luckily, just the other days, we discussed the apparition of an all-original 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda that flexed the cool orange paint and a rare, numbers-matching 440ci engine. Sure, it wasn't the 426 Hemi version, but Mopar's second-most powerful mill from the era – the 440 "Six-Pack" – is also nothing to sneeze at.
However, what happens when you want the 1970s look but don't care that much for the age's lack of comfort creatures and frightening performance? Well, suppose your money is like a never-ending pit, and you are intent on welcoming a Barracuda in the garage. In that case, there's a suggestion from the imaginative realm of digital car content creators that may be worth considering.
Emmanuel Brito, the virtual artist better known as personalizatuauto on social media, takes us on a new journey of CGI discovery to the Barracuda max – and he even prepared a virtual lounge for it, just in case you want the Plymouth to be displayed in your 'man cave.' Of note, out in the open, just ahead of some feisty burnouts, is even better.
As such, there are two digital versions of the same 'Cuda – the yellow one looks like it inhabits a modern showroom type of presentation. Meanwhile, the one that interests us the most, dressed in a ritzy shade of burgundy, is enjoying its virtual relaxation time in the backyard, all slammed and widebody kitted! The classic third-gen Plymouth Barracuda (produced between 1970 and 1974) feels ready to go toe-to-toe with any modern Mopar, given the carbon fiber parts and the much wider track.
But there's a little problem. The slammed atmosphere is excellent, the widebody kit and carbon fiber aero components work like a charm to modernize this beloved classic, and the humongous wheels plus slick tires hint at something nasty under the hood. Otherwise, you wouldn't need that massive central exhaust system. However, we have no idea what the artist hid in there.
Alas, we can easily speculate. So, a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine is the first of the usual suspects. But this Plymouth 'Cuda deserves only the best, so let's get past the Hellcats and Redeyes directly into Hellephant 426 Supercharged Mopar Crate HEMI territory, shall we?
