by Ross Mills

Get ready to rev your engines as we zoom into the world of the 1965 Plymouth Barracuda V-8! This compact beast rides on the Valiant “A” platform, boasting a rear window so massive it could double as a sunroof for giants. While American models flaunt a 225 cu in slant-6 engine, our northern neighbors cruise with a 170 cu in version. And if you crave more power, the 273 cu in V8 with a two or four-barrel option has you covered. It’s like choosing between a double cheeseburger and a quadruple stack!

Dodge Coronet 1969 images

by Ross Mills

In 1969, Dodge revved up the Coronet with the “Super-Bee” on the Chrysler B-body platform, sharing some sibling rivalry with the Charger. Mid-year, they dropped the A12 package like a mic, featuring a roaring 440 engine with a six-pack carburetor setup, a lift-off fiberglass hood, and metal pins that scream “don’t mess with me.” This one-year wonder also flaunts heavy-duty suspension and 15-inch wheels, making it the muscle car equivalent of a gym bro on wheels. Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for the eye candy!

2+2 = FAST! One of the Rarest Pontiac’s of the 60’s Beats 67 Barracuda w/ 383

by Pat C

In June 1976, cruising Gratiot Avenue, I was sure my beefed-up ’67 Barracuda was unbeatable—until a Pontiac 2+2 convertible rolled up. With a 421 tri-power engine, it left me red-faced and $50 lighter. This rare beast, a big brother to the GTO, packed 376 HP and 461 ft. lbs. of torque. Though never hitting GTO sales, it wowed with dual exhausts and heavy-duty springs. The 2+2 even tried a comeback in ’86, but like my race victory that day, it was short-lived!
