eBay Find of the Day: ViperCuda combines classic muscle car with modern V10

eBay Find of the Day: ViperCuda combines classic muscle car with modern V10

Ever wish your 1971 Plymouth Barracuda had just a wee bit more power and the ability to negotiate curves. Got an extra $180,000 laying around. That's what this Vipercuda will cost you on eBay. Don't think it's just an expensive engine transplant, though. Beneath that 40-year-old, long hood, short deck 'Cuda body is all snake. The Viper's 450-hp engine, 18-inch front, 19-inch rear wheels, suspension and even the two-seat interior were modified, customized and rearrangeified to attractively fit into what was a four-seat '70s muscle car.

The transmission is a six-speed manual Tremec mated to a heavy duty 3.07 rear.
