Joe Rogan, host of "Fear Factor" (as well as the recent AutoRox Auto Awards Show) and Mopar aficionado, contracted hot rod builder Troy Trepanier of TLC's "Rides" to build him one of the sickest new-custom 1970 Plymouth Barracudas on the planet. Trepanier's signature style, an unadorned, minimalist approach that allows a car's natural shape to dictate where the custom work begins and ends, is perfect for the swooping curves of the E-body. Delivering the perfectly sculpted exterior to speed and back is a 528ci Hemi crate motor, cranking out 650hp, which is hooked to a 747 automatic transmission with six forward gears. Hot Rod has the full profile. Note: not a single Scolopendra gigantea was brutally maimed in the writing of this post.
