Classic & Custom Mopars & Pickups at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale Fall Auction

Barrett-Jackson will offer several highly coveted Mopars and classic and late-model American pickups during the Scottsdale Fall Auction, Oct. 15-18, 2025, at WestWorld of Scottsdale, event organizers stated in a press release. One of the top models to cross the block will be a custom, race-inspired 1970 Plymouth Barracuda.

Built by BBT Fabrications, a previous Barrett-Jackson Cup winner, this one-off 1970 Barracuda is powered by a 528-ci Indy Cylinder Head Gen II HEMI V-8 engine rated at 630 horsepower and features a race-inspired interior. The HEMI is equipped with a Holley carburetor, Shaker air cleaner, ceramic-coated long-tube headers and a 3-inch ceramic-coated exhaust system with X-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers.

Power is sent through an A&A Transmissions Chrysler 3-speed automatic transmission to a Moser 9-inch rear end with 31-spline axles and Eaton 4.11 gears with posi-traction. The body features new AMD quarter-panels, custom-fabricated floor pans, wheel tubs, firewall and engine bay, shaved marker lights, billet hood hinges and a lift-off decklid.

“Led by their iconic engines, raw power and distinctive styling, Mopar helped ignite a muscle car war in the 1960s that’s still part of the DNA in cars rolling off Stellantis production lines today,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “From restored classics and customs featuring modern performance upgrades to a concept vehicle inspired by the past, our docket of collectible Mopars reflects the legendary status these vehicles cemented into our culture.”

Other Mopars on the Docket at the Scottsdale Fall Auction

A custom 1973 Plymouth Barracuda on the docket is powered by a modern fuel-injected HEMI V-8 mated to a high-performance 4-speed automatic transmission. The interior includes a custom leather setup with a custom center console, eight-ball shifter, Sharp steering wheel on a custom column, custom Barracuda digital gauges and a neon blue-illuminated custom start panel with push start, ignition, fuel pump, fan and auxiliary switches. It has approximately 880 miles since the build’s completion.

“Mopar’s HEMI V-8 became an icon of the 1960s American muscle car era,” said Steve Davis, president of Barrett-Jackson. “The powerful engine combined with their iconic designs created a new opportunity to put race-inspired vehicles on the road. Bidders will have the chance to own a Mopar, like a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T or the ‘BBP Project ’Cuda’ concept car that’s faithful to its 1970-74 E-Body ancestors.”

The “BBP Project ’Cuda” is a custom 2008 Plymouth ’Cuda concept car that was designed and built to encourage Chrysler Corporation to bring back the ’Cuda model and the Plymouth brand. Painted in Lambo Pearl Orange, it features an all-carbon-fiber body with functional Shaker hood and rides on 22-inch Zenetti wheels and Pirelli tires. This concept ’Cuda was shown at the 2007 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, where it made its official debut.

For fans of modern muscle, a custom 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat will be on the block. This car is powered by a supercharged HEMI V-8 upgraded with the Hennessey Performance H1000 kit, delivering 1,000 hp. This Widebody Jailbreak Last Call Edition has factory equipment that includes adaptive damping suspension, Brembo 6-piston brakes, line lock, launch control and the exclusive Jailbreak Package featuring widebody fender flares. Another late-model Mopar on the docket includes a 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 with 48 actual miles.

Classic & Late-Model Pickups at the Scottsdale Fall Auction

Barrett-Jackson will also have some of the most celebrated classic and late-model custom American pickups during the Scottsdale Fall Auction, noted the release. Among the trucks are a custom 1955 Chevrolet 3100 big-window pickup powered by a 2006 Cadillac Escalade engine and “Hell Raiser,” a custom 1946 Ford half-ton pickup that blends hot-rod style with modern precision.

“The collectible pickups crossing our block in Scottsdale this October are a celebration of American heritage, horsepower and craftsmanship,” said  Jackson. “Trucks were initially designed to be a workhorse on farms and ranches, and now make the perfect canvas for creating rolling works of art. From a 1955 Chevrolet 3100 big-window pickup that retains its original design to a 2024 Ram 1500 TRX Final Edition Pickup upgraded by Hennessey with their Mammoth 1000 Performance Package, we’re hauling in the best collectible trucks for our Scottsdale Fall Auction.”

The sale includes a Red Sox jersey, baseball hat, bat and ball signed by Jarren Duran.
