Aussie-Owned 496 Stroker ’Cuda | Is This the Best Mopar Build Ever?

Today on Aussie Garage, we take an in-depth look at a stunning Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe, one of the rarest and most iconic Mopar muscle cars you'll find in Australia. 🇺🇸🔥 Owner Mick gives us the full story behind this incredible machine, from its factory 383 big block origins through to its current 496ci stroker combination. Featuring a Holley Sniper EFI setup, strengthened driveline, custom suspension upgrades, and classic Center Line wheels, this ’Cuda perfectly blends old-school muscle car attitude with modern reliability. We also dive into the fascinating history of the car, including original factory tags being reunited with the vehicle decades later by a previous owner from the United States. If you're a fan of Mopar muscle, Plymouth Barracudas, Dodge Challengers, American classics, big block V8s, and rare collector cars, this is an episode you won't want to miss. 👉 In this episode: • Rare Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe feature • 496ci stroker big block V8 • Holley Sniper EFI conversion • Custom rear-end modifications • Suspension and handling upgrades • Factory options and history • Original trim tag story • Interior and dashboard walkthrough • Australian Mopar scene discussion • Owner interview with Mick Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:45 Meet Mick's Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe 02:30 Why He Bought The Car 04:45 496ci Stroker Big Block Setup 07:15 Rear-End & Suspension Modifications 10:20 The History Behind This Rare ’Cuda 13:20 Exterior Walkaround 16:00 Inside The Barracuda 20:10 Rally Dash & Slapstick Shifter 23:30 Modifications & Driving Experience 27:00 Mopar Parts & Restoration Challenges 30:15 Vinyl Roof & Factory Features 33:00 Future Plans For The Car 35:15 Final Thoughts & Outro A huge thanks to Mick for taking the time to share this incredible car with us.
