This week, we’re hopping on the train to Moparville with our peek into a Bangshift reader garage. The car is a really menacing 1967 Plymouth Barracuda owned by BangShifter Tony Fields. Wearing black paint and black wheels, this car looks like something the hit men in Bullit would have driven before getting their 1968 and ultimately taking it to a car-b-que while chasing Steve McQueen around. The car was a column shifted, slant six powered, granny mobile when Tony got it. That wasn’t going to cut the mustard, so the whole thing was torn down to the shell for a new life.
Tony’s garage is cool because he has lots of photos showing the body, drivetrain, and interior renovation of the car. The engine is a 360ci Mope piece that’s been spruced up with Edelbrock aluminum heads, a Comp XE284 cam, and an Air Gap intake, amongst other hot parts (not leastly is the MSD ignition).
He swapped in the torsion bars from a 340 Cuda, and disc brakes from Master power up front, and fresh drums out back. We love the fact that this car has manual brakes and steering. Total badassery.
The stance is great, and we’re complete suckers for any Mopar with a super stock scoop on it. That just reeks of mean.

Was anyone able to view Tony’s garage?
I looked for a coupla days, with no success.
Click on the link above the photo. It goes right into Tony’s BangShift Garage page. Has all the photos of the car, etc.
Not for me, Chad…
The screen titled, “Tony’s Garage, etc.”, appears, but is blank except for verbage about FAQ’s and a statement about having to possibly register before posting a comment.
I’m pretty much an all-day/every day viewer, so this isn’t normal operation I’m used to.
