These stunning vehicles included a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda, a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro, a 1969 Ford F-100, a 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe 289, and a 1936 Ford 5-Window Coupe. In this classic car blog, you’ll learn all about these remarkable units.
1967 Plymouth Barracuda 408-Powered Hardtop 5-Speed
This strikingly stylish 1967 Plymouth Barracuda hardtop recently underwent extensive repairs and modifications, including rust repairs. Those working on this classic stripped its body and refinished it in its current red finish, and they replaced its rear quarter panels and trunk extensions. The car’s eye-catching exterior also sports chrome bumpers, fog lamps, an aluminum fuel door, dual mirrors, and a satin black fiberglass hood with a scoop.
Some of the vehicle’s notable equipment features include an MSD electronic ignition, power-assisted steering, Viper front disc brakes, factory-style rear drum brakes, subframe connectors, a Holley HP electronic fuel injection system, rear mini tubs, KYB shock absorbers, and an Accel throttle body. Additionally, its American Racing wheels feature 205/50R16 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 on its front wheels and 315/35R17 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials on the rear. These noteworthy features surely helped the Barracuda secure a $41,000 sale at the auction.
The car is powered by a replacement 408 cu in V8 engine with a Tremec TKO 600 paired with a five-speed manual transmission. It also features an 8 ¾ rear axle with a Sure Grip differential as well as 3.73:1 gears. The car even comes with a dual exhaust system with Dynomax mufflers and a crossover pipe.

Supercharged LS3-Powered 1967 Chevrolet Camaro 6-Speed
The first thing you’ll likely notice about this unforgettable 1967 Chevrolet Camaro coupe is its incredibly unique and striking color scheme. Its original factory finish was Mountain Green, but it’s since been refinished in a glimmering and pleasing silver along with a red nose stripe, matching its breathtaking red leather-upholstered interior. This sharp color scheme definitely played a part in the Camaro’s $165,000 sale at the latest auction.
Some of the car’s other notable exterior features include its headlight covers, a black front spoiler, chrome bumpers, polished trim, a rear decklid, Detroit Speed concealed electric headlights, SS badging, a left-side mirror, and recently installed tinted windows.

The vehicle comes with a modified suspension with components, including JRI coilover shocks, a rear Quadra Link setup with shock height body mounts, and a tubular front anti-roll bar and control arms. Plus, it has a Turn One power steering box, a PSC reservoir, and Detroit Speed mini tubs.
The Camaro’s powertrain is a 6.2-liter General Motors LS3 V8 engine with a Magnuson TVS2300 supercharger mated with a T56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission, ultimately generating 640 horsepower and 561 foot-pounds of torque at the rear wheels. The engine also features a Detroit Speed Engineering 12-bolt rear end with 4.10:1 gearing. Finally, it features Wilwood disc brakes and power steering.
Supercharged Coyote-Powered 1969 Ford F-100 Custom Cab
Next on our list is an impressive classic Ford F-100, which the seller had rebuilt and modified last year. Those who worked on the truck removed its body from the frame, corrected its paint, and repaired its rust. They also installed a Roush-supercharged 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine — which came from a 2014 Mustang — along with a 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission and a Powertrax limited-slip differential and 3.31:1 gearing.
Additional modifications included four-wheel disc brakes, a dual exhaust system with MagnaFlow Mufflers, a four-link rear end, and a double-adjustable coilover suspension. This classic truck also features power-assisted steering and black Roush-branded calipers for stopping power. Its 20” American Racing wheels are paired with 255/35 and 275/35 Delinte Thunder D7 tires.

When you take a look inside the cabin, you can see its beautiful black vinyl-upholstered TMI bucket seats along with a matching center console, black carpeting, black vinyl headliner, and a Bluetooth RetroSound stereo with aftermarket speakers. You can also see its Forever Sharp steering wheel that’s mounted on a tilt column as well as its Dakota Digital instrumentation. This modified classic sold for $58,000.
1965 Ford Mustang Coupe 289
This glimmering work of art comes with a powerful 289 cu in V8, sending power to its rear wheels through a Cruise-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission. The V8 boasts a four-barrel carburetor, a gold air cleaner assembly and valve covers, and a Champion aluminum radiator.

1936 Ford 5-Window Coupe
Last on our tour is a much older vehicle than our models from the 1960s — it’s a 1936 Ford Coupe with five windows and an eye-catching Washington Blue finish. Some of its other noteworthy exterior features include a classic single windshield wiper, a spare tire carrier, dual side mirrors, a locking fuel cap, and glimmering chrome bumpers. It also sports black-finished 16” steel wheels with V8-branded hubcaps, whitewall tires, and chrome trim rings.
A 221 cu in flathead V8 with a rebuilt single carburetor and electric fuel pump powers this vintage beauty, and the engine sends its power to its rear wheels through a floor-shifted four-speed manual transmission.

Its interior comes with a three-spoke steering wheel along with a 100-mph speedometer, auxiliary gauges, and a five-digit odometer that currently reads 65,000 miles. Plus, occupants can roll down the classic Ford’s rear window.
