How difficult is it to take a classic pony/muscle car and turn it into one hell of a sleeper (no pun intended)? Well, the rendering that now sits on our screens comes to answer that question with the help of a Plymouth Barracuda that has been given a Hellcat heart transplant.
Sure, the engine compartment of this contraption is now the home of 707 ponies, but you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at the machine.
That's not to say this Plymouth is anything but a sight for sore eyes. We're looking at a 1968 model, with this riding on the A-body platform, which means it tips the scales at a rather reasonable 3,330 lbs (1,514 kg) or even lower, depending on the hardware.
The idea of the pixel build was to come up with a Mopar machine that would fly below the radar. As such, the visual changes are limited.
Perhaps the most eye-catching feature involves the redefined road connection, which involves a ride height drop, along with a set of wheels featuring dog dish hubcaps.
The bumpers have been nicely tucked, while multiple badges have left the stage. Of course, the black finish covering most of the real estate also deserves credit for the vehicle's tastefully restrained appearance.
Oh, and if you do get to peek under the hood, you'll notice that blown 6.2-liter HEMI featuring a cylinder head and air filter color combo that pays tribute to the original 1960s 440ci V8s.
Abimelec Arellano is the one who brought us these pixels, with the digital artist always being up for a good old American adventure. Of course, not all his pixel paintings involve retro heroes. For one, as the gearhead points out in the social media post below, he recently added flavor to a Pontiac Aztek that enthusiasts might actually enjoy (think: Trans Am vibes).
