In the second episode of Season 1 of Overhaulin', the team faces a unique challenge as they work on a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda that belongs to a car museum. The car, which was originally owned by Hollywood icon Steve McQueen, has been showcased in the museum for years without any work being done on it.
The team is tasked with not only restoring the Barracuda to its former glory, but also ensuring that it is museum worthy for future generations to appreciate. The process of restoring the vehicle to its original condition is a long and arduous one, with the team encountering several obstacles along the way.
After assessing the car and taking it apart piece by piece, the team discovers that there are several components that need to be replaced entirely. They source new parts and begin the difficult task of fitting them into place, all while making sure that the finished product remains true to the original design.
To add to the challenge, the team must also be careful not to damage any of the original parts, as these are essential for the historical significance of the car.

As the restoration process nears completion, it becomes clear that the Overhaulin' team has done an incredible job. The Barracuda looks as though it just rolled off the assembly line, with every component looking as good as new. The team even takes the car out for a spin, testing its performance to make sure that it is running as smoothly as possible.
In the end, the Barracuda is truly museum worthy, with the team successfully restoring it to its original condition.
