Race-Inspired 1970 Plymouth Barracuda among killer MoPars to rumble across Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale Fall Auction Block this October

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.  – Barrett-Jackson will offer a number of highly coveted MoPars, including a custom, race-inspired 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, during the Scottsdale Fall Auction, Oct. 15-18, 2025, at WestWorld of Scottsdale. Built by BBT Fabrications, a previous Barrett-Jackson Cup winner, the Barracuda is powered by an Indy Cylinder Head Gen II HEMI V8 engine rated at 630 horsepower and features a race-inspired interior. Late-model MoPars on the docket include a 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 with 48 actual miles.

“Led by their iconic engines, raw power and distinctive styling, MoPar helped ignite a muscle car war in the 1960s that’s still part of the DNA in cars rolling off Stellantis production lines today,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “From restored classics and customs featuring modern performance upgrades to a concept vehicle inspired by the past, our docket of collectible MoPars reflects the legendary status these vehicles cemented into our culture.”

Featured in the lineup of MoPars crossing the block during the Scottsdale Fall Auction is the custom 1970 Plymouth Barracuda built by BBT Fabrications, a previous Barrett-Jackson Cup winner. This one-off, custom Barracuda is powered by 528ci Gen II HEMI V8 engine rated at 630hp and 660 ft/lbs of torque. The HEMI is equipped with a Holley carburetor, Shaker air cleaner, ceramic-coated long-tube headers and a 3-inch ceramic-coated exhaust system with X-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers. Power is sent through an A&A Transmissions Chrysler 3-speed automatic transmission to a Moser 9-inch rear end with 31-spline axles and Eaton 4.11 gears with posi-traction. The body features new AMD quarter-panels, custom-fabricated floor pans, wheel tubs, firewall and engine bay, shaved marker lights, billet hood hinges and a lift-off decklid.

A custom 1970 Plymouth Barracuda on the docket is powered by a modern fuel-injected HEMI V8 mated to a high-performance 4-speed automatic transmission.

It has approximately 880 miles since the build's completion.

“MoPar’s HEMI V8 became an icon of the 1960s American muscle car era,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “The powerful engine combined with their iconic designs created a new opportunity to put race-inspired vehicles on the road. Bidders will have the chance to own a MoPar, like a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T or the ‘BBP Project ’Cuda’ concept car that’s faithful to its 1970-74 E-Body ancestors.”
