Video: “Rogue Elephant,” a ’68 Super Stock HEMI Barracuda Resto-Mod

The Rogue Elephant began with a solid and straight donor vehicle, an original Barracuda Formula S. This vehicle was given a rotisserie nuts and bolts restoration and was rebuilt as a Super Stock HEMI Barracuda resto-mod by Rick and Cheri Radu, owners of All American Muscle Cars, Ltd.

The AAMC ’68 Super Stock HEMI Barracuda has separated itself from the others, standing out from the crowd with its fierce power and brawny looks. The aggressive stance challenges anyone to stand in its way, against its 510 horsepower and 525 ft-lb torque.

This vehicle, built to be driven on the street, is for anyone who wants to stand out and be noticed. Its a real crowd-pleaser and attention getter. Under the hood, you’ll find a Mopar 426cid HEMI Crate Engine, topped with dual Holley carburetors on a cross ram manifold. Hedman headers, a Be Cool cooling package and Tremec 5-speed manual transmission and a Moser Dana 60 rear axle with 4.11 gears and Sure Grip rear round out the street-friendly package.

Chassis magic includes Martz Engineering front and rear coil-over suspension, with Wilwood brakes under Boyd Coddington Junk Yard Dog 17-inch polished aluminum wheels.

The “Rogue Elephant” proved its street cred during its debut at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum in front of a crowd of 300+ Mopar enthusiasts and DaimlerChrysler engineers. Don Goodwin, Senior Executive V.P., said of the Barracuda, “This vehicle is impeccable and a true tribute to a history-making icon king of the strip.”
