Joe Rogan’s 1970 Sick Fish Barracuda Design
When Rogan was 19 years old, he had a beater of a 1970 Sick Fish Barracuda. Broken down and paint chipping, he promised himself that, one day, when he had some money, he would own a “Super Nice” one. Joe brought on board legendary auto craftsman Chip Foose to design the 1970 Sick Fish Barracuda, who took great pride in recreating Rogan’s most fond childhood memory.
Foose studied at Art Center College of Design, then proceeded to work with the best auto designers in the world, eventually working his way up to CEO of a custom car manufacturer called Hot Rods by Boyd. Foose gained exposure in a 2003 TLC documentary about restoring a Ford Thunderbird, which is how Joe found him. After hearing Joe’s story, Foose jumped at the opportunity to recreate this legendary set of wheels and new addition to his classic car collection.
Another critical team member who brought the Barracuda to life was iconic builder Troy Trepanier.
