After building the Max HEMI and selling it for charity at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale 2006, Boyd and his crew including Duane Mayer dreamed of making a faster and cooler car to make a difference in the lives of others. Out of that dream, the idea for the Coddington HEMI Barracuda was born. Boyd wanted it to be fast, modern and powerful. Boyd really wanted to "one-up" himself. Tragically, Boyd never saw his dream come to fruition as he passed before the project was off the drawing boards. Armed with a new reason to create this car, Duane contacted the crew at West Coast Customs to finally make the dream a reality as homage to Boyd Coddington and his legacy. WCC embraced the project and along with Mark Holmes of Custom Rod Gauges, started the build of this one-of-a-kind masterpiece. They started with a 1967 Barracuda sport hardtop and replaced the engine with a modern monster, the 6.1 SRT8 HEMI engine. To maximize the nearly 500hp, they mated it to a 727 TorqueFlight transmission along with dual custom exhaust, a Griffith radiator, and a Magnum Force Mustang II front sub-frame and suspension. It stops smoothly through Wilwood disc brakes with stainless brake/fuel lines and aircraft-grade fuel/brake fittings. The eye appeal of this car is only something that the Coddington Team and the WCC crew could create. The exterior is done in two tone black paint with custom WCC grilles and moldings. It sits on Asanti wheels, 19" in front and 20" in the rear, to give it the right stance. The interior is decked out with a custom dash and instrumentation from Custom Rod Gauges that complement the custom, all black leather interior. Of course, it features a custom WCC stereo with 6.5 WCC Orion component speakers front and rear, 1600 watt WCC Orion mono block amp for the subs, 800 watt PPI 4 channel amp for the highs, two 10" 1600 watt WCC Orion sub-woofers, a Visualogic V-mod computer system, Kinetic 1400 battery, Sony 6.5 monitor, and custom fiberglass kick panels and rear sub box. Other modern conveniences like high volume air conditioning and heat make this a very comfortable car. In true Coddington and WCC style, the entire build was filmed and documented on Discovery Channel's "Street Customs" TV show.

'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]
Mon, 16 Jun 2014
We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.
US Marshal's classic muscle car auction officially in the books
Thu, 25 Sep 2014The US Marshal's so-called Blood Muscle Auction was completed earlier this month, with the prestigious nine-car field (two cars were added following Autoblog's initial story, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 and a rare, mid-restoration 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda) finding new and hopefully law-abiding owners.
While we'd normally recap the stars of the show, in this particular auction, every car's sale was newsworthy. The full list of sale prices doesn't seem to be published, but according to The New York Times, the auction brought in a total of $2.5 million, or an average of about $277,000 per car.
The king of the contest seems to be a 1970 Plymouth Superbird (above, right), complete with a 426-cubic-inch Hemi V8, which brought home $575,000. The trio of Yenko Chevys, meanwhile, all easily cleared the six-figure mark, with the Yenko Camaro (above, far right) clearing $315,000, the Chevelle crossing the block for $237,500 and the supremely rare - one of just 37 - Yenko Nova (shown above, left) selling for an even $400,000.
SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
