Recommendations: Top 5 Cars To Restomod

4. Plymouth Barracuda

It’s no secret around these parts that I’m a fan of the Barracuda, a car that helped to define what we think of when we hear the words “muscle car.” The golden age of the Barracuda was undoubtedly from 1970-71, when the broke free of an economy image that had plagued them for too long. The fastback was removed from the lineup that year, but the coupe and convertibles were there, and they were superb. Power topped out at 425 horsepower as stock, from a 426 V8, but with a restomod, well there’s no limit. We’ve already seen some lunatics put a twin-turbo, modern 426 in one and throw 1200 horsepower on to the wheels.

For a 1970 Barracuda in good condition, you can be looking at a huge amount of cash, but you can find examples in decent condition for around $25K. If you want a project, ones in bad shape can be had for just a few thousand. If you’re willing to get one from the 60s, you can get one in good shape for around $15K. Ones with smaller engines are also far cheaper than their more powerful siblings. Due to it being a Mopar, there’s also a big old crowd of enthusiasts out there to buy spares from, and to show off your new Barracuda-shaped bundle of joy to.
