  • It took a while but we finally got Aaron Beck to bring over his Plymouth Barracuda, walk us through his garage built beast then go shred some tires. Gotta love the old school approach with a 440 ci engine, 4 speed factory manual transmission, 15" wheels and the whole approach was to auto cross and get sideways so sit back and enjoy the ride...

    Absolutely GORGEOUS car. Love how aggressive and raw it looks. You can definitely see the Plymouth Cuda influence on the Matt Reeve's Batmobile from The Batman when looking at this gorgeous car. One of my favorite builds I have seen in a long time.

    I'm a huge Sci-Fi fan and Weta is up there as one of the best. Aaron has been doing little teasers of the Cuda for awhile. So it's really cool to see it finally displayed in full and hear about the build in detail. I was hoping for this collaboration for a very long time. I'm really glad to see it finally happen.

    This has been my favorite car build for *years* and I am so thrilled to hear it belongs to a WETA artist. My first car (79 Firebird) alternates between a Mad Max build for Wasteland Weekend, and a Matt Reeves inspired Batmobile throughout the year, and this Cuda always gets referenced when I work on a new design for it. As a fellow special effects artist and hot-rodder, one massive salute to this car and its owner.

    I love his use of fifteen inch wheels. The overall diameter and fitment looks proper. The guys with the early Mustangs also have pulled off the correct look. The super tall diameter wheels look silly on many cars.

    I’d had muscle cars my whole life, first car at 15 was a 68 Chevelle. In 2009 I had to sell the two I had when my dealership got closed. Had to save the house. I kept my old 4x4 Dodge. A few years later I bought a 2016 Shaker Challenger. Great car, does everything well. But I had to have another old school car again. Nothing beats old school muscle, especially when it’s modified like this.

You can't test drive one first, there are so many variables and options from the drivetrain, brakes, chassis, electronics and even the grab bar :D That thing will be an absolute blast once the hand brake is 100% !

    No idea WHAT 440 this one is, but the good ones were WILDLY tough. My favorite big Mopar is the 383, they'll rev crazy high, and as far as I know they all had a pretty bulletproof bottom end. There were later truck 440s that were not-so-great, but his must've been a good one. They resist overheating WAY better than a big-block Chevy or Ford. I love how low and raw and mean this thing is. I also love that it's still got leafs in the rear, not a damn thing wrong with leafs with the right 'helpers', and there's no way to fuck up the alignment. REALLY cool car.
