Shelby GT 350 Mustang 1966-images

by Ross Mills

The 1966 Shelby GT 350 Mustang roars back into the spotlight, ditching trunk-mounted batteries and last year’s traction bars like unwanted karaoke partners. Carroll Shelby’s magic touch transformed 252 ’65 models into a whopping 2,378 units of pure American muscle. With optional Paxton Super-chargers and Selectshift automatics, this beauty is a symphony of power and choice. And, oh, those rear quarter panel windows replacing side vents—because who needs extra ventilation when you can have style?

Plymouth Barracuda 1970 and 1971

by Ross Mills

The 1970 Plymouth Barracuda shed its economy car past, rolling into the muscle car scene with a swagger, thanks to the ‘cuda Hemi power option. Vibrant colors like “Vitamin C” and “Sassy Grass Green” ensured it wasn’t just fast but flashy too. In 1971, the Barracuda sported a grill makeover and four headlights, making it the only year to sport fender “gills.” With engines ranging from a “slant six” to the mighty 426 Hemi, it was a beast on the road, albeit with handling that made tight turns a bit more of an adventure!

1968 Plymouth Barracuda, 1 of 18 Garage Find, 32 Years in the Making

by Wes

Some barn finds get discovered by accident. This 1968 Plymouth Barracuda was found on purpose, and then waited another thirty-two years before its story could finally be told. Michael Ferri’s garage find is one of just eighteen built to its exact specification, which raises the obvious question: what took so long? The answer says as much about preservation as it does about rarity.

’68 Barracuda in Highwaymen

by Wes

A 1968 Plymouth Barracuda gets put through its paces in a chase sequence built around real stunt driving instead of digital shortcuts, tearing through a forgotten early-2000s thriller with the kind of committed, tire-screaming aggression only a genuine muscle car can deliver. The second-generation fastback rarely gets the spotlight its more famous E-body successor enjoys, but this footage makes a strong case for why it deserved one all along. Watch to see just how hard Plymouth’s underrated fastback could work when the cameras started rolling.

1971 Plymouth Barracuda Street Machine “Medusa”

by Kiril

Built by All Speed Customs and shown at the 2017 Detroit Autorama, this 1971 Plymouth Barracuda street machine skips the expected 426 Hemi entirely in favor of a V10 and a paddle-shift transmission most classic Mopar owners have never considered. Silver paint with red accents and a custom interior built around a subwoofer-packed rear seat round out a build meant to surprise a crowd that’s seen almost everything. Watch to find out why they call it Medusa.

Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #96: 1969 Plymouth Barracuda Mod Top

by Wes

This 1969 Plymouth Barracuda isn’t fast — a mild 318 four-barrel and an automatic see to that — but its factory Mod Top roof and interior option make it one of the more distinctive cars in the Brothers Collection. Chrysler’s short-lived Mod Top package chased the late-’60s youth market with bold patterns most owners deleted during restoration decades later. Surviving examples like this one are rarer today than the 440s and Hemis parked around it.

1965 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Unrestored with 5804

by Wes

This 1965 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S has spent half a century doing almost nothing, and that is precisely what makes it extraordinary: unrestored, original, and showing just 5,804 miles. Owner Ron George grew up in a Mopar family and deliberately kept the car preserved rather than driven. Filmed at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, the walkaround reveals a factory time capsule making its very first show appearance after decades in hiding. Watch to see a survivor most enthusiasts only know from old brochures.

Chevrolet Camaro outsells Ford Mustang for the first time in almost 2 years – USA

by Kiril

In a surprising twist of automotive fate, the Chevrolet Camaro has outpaced its long-time rival, the Ford Mustang, in sales for the first time in nearly two years in the USA. This unexpected victory comes amid Ford’s decision to halt Mustang production following a sharp decline in sales. In September, Camaro revved past the competition, selling 6,577 units compared to the Mustang’s 6,429. It seems the Camaro is back to remind everyone that it’s not just a flash in the pan but a full-on V8-powered comeback.

Hot or Not?

by Kiril

This second-generation Barracuda hides one of 1968’s most underrated factory performance packages, a 275-horsepower 340 small-block Plymouth built barely a few thousand of. Here is why the Formula S 340 earned a reputation as a genuine sleeper, and how rare it actually was.
