Here you have it, the car I have been lusting after for about 15 years. This is a 1970 Plymouth Sport Fury, and in my eyes it’s one of the coolest road-sleds ever made. About the size of a Chevrolet Suburban, the ’70 Sport Fury is one of the cars that you either love or hate. Men seem to gravitate towards it, while women are generally repulsed. The fuselage styling, considered to be cutting edge in the 1970′s, gives the car a wonderfully aggressive look. Combine that with a blacked-out grille and the option of a 7.2-liter 440 cubic inch V8 with a Six-Pack set-up, and we’re talking about a car that has “EVIL” written all over it.

So, let’s hear it – what’s the one car that you’d eventually love to have in your garage?

When most muscle car enthusiasts think of the Plymouth Barracuda, they generally think of those models built between 1970-1974. I mean lets face it, in person they’re visually stunning machines and have been the most sought after by muscle car collectors the world over. The 1st and 2nd gen Barracuda’s built from 1964-1969 unfortunately get little respect, however it seems the one we found on eBay seeks to change that. Known as “SICFISH”, the 1969 Barracuda you see here has been treated to 200k (not a misprint) in upgrades by the builder. For starters this pro-stock lookalike packs a 604 CI 800 hp fuel-injected HEMI. Then there’s the fully customized interior, chassis and suspension. This is not some cobbled together project in someones garage, but an outstanding hot-rod that’s sure to provide the new owner with more excitement than they can possibly handle.

Now here’s a car that could be just at home at the drag strip as it could be parked in your Grandmothers driveway. This is a 1967 Plymouth Belvedere GTX that’s equipped with a 426 HEMI V8. It’s one of the best “sleeper” cars we’ve seen to date and we’d imagine that it would be a downright weapon in the right hands. From a stylistic perspective the 1967 GTX was never really much of a looker, which in this case lends to the cars overall appeal. Options include a 727 TorqueFlite transmission, bucket seats with center console and of course the 426 HEMI. Believed to have been sold new in Texas and with 94,745 miles showing on the odometer, this old Belvedere is one of the coolest old rides we’ve seen in quite some time.

The Plymouth Satellite has never been on the high end of the collector scale as far as MOPARS go. I mean sure, they’re great cars and all, but the bodies build from 1965-1967 seemed to have always lost out to those built from 1968-1970. Sometimes however a diamond in the ruff pops up and when that happens it’s best to jump on it. Presented before you is 1 of only 503 1966 Hemi Satellite 4-speeds ever built. It has 32,301 original documented miles and is in astonishing original condition. Finished in glossy red paint with black interior, the car is a total sleeper, as it sits on factory 14-inch wheels with wheel covers.

If you took a 1970 Plymouth HEMI ‘Cuda, a buxom patrol woman and some wicked guitar riffs from musical superstar Jack White, then the odds of you ending up with a kick-ass music video are pretty damn good. Therefore I think that we should all be thankful that Jack White decided to beat us to the punch and do it all for us by way of his new video “Freedom at 21″. Click through and check it out.

Each and every muscle car enthusiast has that one experience that has helped define the way in which they view the automobile. For Northern California’s John Cross that experience came by way of riding in the back of his cousins 1970 440 6-Pack Plymouth Cuda’ when he was a kid. It was a car that provided him with memories, stories and of course, a goal – that being, to one day own the very car which got his engine running all those years ago. It’s now 2012, 42 years after that first faithful ride in the very Cuda’ you’re about to see. This time however it resides in John’s garage, not his cousins, which can mean only one thing… Sometimes dreams do come true.

Every muscle car out there has a story behind it. There’s the story of the owners, the builders and of course the endless miles that they’ve traveled throughout the years. Jay Leno recently paid tribute to Paul Annunziata, the builder of this particular 1975 Plymouth Duster. This is a car that not only had special meaning to Mr. Annunziata, but to Jay as well. Click through to view the reasons why.

Ask any 14-year-old girl what her favorite car is and the odds of her saying a Plymouth Duster are slim-to-none. You see while most young girls are flirting on Facebook, Alex Stark was in the garage with her Dad restoring her very own 1971 Duster. As a child she fell in love with the Matchbox car version and thanks to her Dad (and a lot of hours in the garage) she now has the real thing. Obviously she’s still too young to drive, but just imagine how great that first ride is going to be in a few years once she’s old enough to get behind the wheel.

Remember back in 2005 when the redesigned Dodge Charger came out? Mopar purists went completely bat-shit because Chrysler decided to give it four doors instead of two, which for some, was shear blasphemy. But what if back in the day the original Charger came with 4-doors? I mean that would have relegated it to family truckster status right from the get go and thus there wouldn’t have been any controversy. The same can be said for the Plymouth Barracuda, a car that is arguably one of the most iconic muscle cars ever built. They’re styling is timeless, their reputations at the drag strips are legendary, and way back when you could order one up with everything from a slant-6 to a fire breathing 426 HEMI. I found this rendering online of a four-door version and figured I’d post it up to get some opinions. So, whatcha’ think – good, bad or indifferent?

American muscle cars are brutish machines that have a personality all their own. Their loud, dirty and don’t do anything particularly well, except that is, make you smile like a four year old. Maybe it’s the rumbling their V8 engines or the fact that they have the ability to incinerate their tires at a moments notice. Or maybe, just maybe, they transport us back to a time when muscle cars simply meant one thing… freedom. Alexandra Lier is a German muscle car enthusiast who not only loves the American car culture, but has in her possession one very cool 1967 Plymouth Barracuda notch-back. The Barracuda’s built from 1967-1969 are, in my opinion, some of the coolest cars out there. These short wheelbase cars not only handle great with some mild tweaking, but throw in a tuned small-block, and well… you’d have yourself one wicked little rocket on your hands. Alexandra’s been to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, written a book about American cars entitled “SPEEDSEEKERS” and has her thumb on exactly what’s going on here in the U.S. even though she’s 3,000 miles away.
