The Chrysler Corporation has divested into several iconic automobile marques over the decades; one of these was the Plymouth marque. Introduced in 1928 as the Chrysler Corporation's budget-friendly car option indirect competition to Ford and Chevrolet. Over the years Plymouth evolved from a humble low-cost car to an iconic muscle brand during the 60s and 70s. The Plymouth Barracuda was produced from 1964 to 1974 under three generations. The Barracuda is arguably Plymouth's most sought-after car and is highly collectible. Interestingly the Barracuda and Cuda are two different trims. Up for grabs is a 1973 Plymouth Cuda with some tasty upgrades under the hood.
This 1973 Plymouth Cuda is dressed in a no-nonsense black Sikkens enamel paint, heightening its menacing looks combined with the stance. The Cuda features a distinctive quad fin design on the front fenders along with a split grill, while the hood has dual vents. It sits on a set of vintage-style American Racing solid aluminum wheels. The interior of this Cuda has been reportedly fully redone in black, with a tan headliner added. An aftermarket Kenwood radio has been installed with a set of Sony speakers. This classic muscle car also includes a rally dashboard while the center console is host to a slapstick shift with programable shift lights. In addition, a quartz movement has been added to the onboard clock.
Typical of the time, Plymouth gave their star muscle car many engine options. This 1973 Plymouth Cuda is equipped with an aftermarket top-of-the-line 440 cu 7.2L 6-Pack V8 period correct but non-numbers matching. It is mated to a 727 Torque Flite transmission with a 3000 stall converter. The engine has undergone an engine rebore of 30 over. Other upgrades to the car include ceramic coated headers, an 8 ¾ rear with a 4.11 gear ratio, a 7-quart oil pan added, and a 1" sway bar for that extra maneuverability. It is reported that all the rubber bushings have been changed to polyurethane. The suspension has also been redone as reported by the seller, while stopping power is provided by disc brakes up front and drums at the back.

The oil crisis of the 1970s marked a significant shift in the automotive industry, leading to a transition away from large-displacement engines and the temporary decline of American muscle cars. During this time, fuel-efficient Japanese vehicles emerged as a solution to the energy crisis. However, we are fortunate to have in our possession a remarkable reminder of the bygone era when American automotive giants roamed the streets without much regard for fuel efficiency. Introducing the exquisite 1973 Plymouth Barracuda, a true embodiment of the muscle car legacy. Fitted with a swapped 360ci V8 and documented mileage of 42,000 miles, this classic American beauty is poised to be cherished and admired, or driven with pure delight to your heart's content.
A little known fact in history is that while the Ford Mustang is widely considered to be the father of the Pony Car segment, Plymouth pipped them to the post by just two weeks with the Barracuda, in 1964. Chrysler had caught wind of Ford’s plan to create a small sporty car, and started working on their own which was based on the Valiant. They won the race, but the Mustang would be the definer of the class for decades to come. If you’re seeking to buy one of these unsung heroes, we’ve got a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback with a solid 100,000 miles since new, that’s reportedly seen a frame-off restoration in the last few years, and presents itself in great condition as a result.
One way of finding out whether a car is unique or iconic would be the mere mention of it, sparking an image in a person's mind. One such car is the legendary Plymouth Barracuda. Built to take on the pony car market, this 1967 Plymouth Barracuda sports a host of tasteful upgrades to whack a smile on your face every time you’re behind the wheel while also being a lovely example of Sixties Plymouth goodness.
Before the widespread adoption of SUVs and crossovers, the humble minivan ruled the roads of family-oriented or practical drivers. But while the word minivan may not have the same panache as other body styles, you’d have to grant the 1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager SE an exception. Here was a van that, despite its multitalented resume, exudes sensible style, recapturing some of the best memories from the ’90s. Finding another low-mileage example in the displayed condition would be a very tricky task, but this timewarp van could be yours. The sale includes a plethora of original sales documents from the first owner, as well as some original books and manuals.
The Plymouth Duster is a compact car that spanned the 1970-1976 period. Plymouth may not have known at the time, but the compact yet sporty Duster was great for the Malaise Era since it was a smaller and lighter car, hence less affected by the strangled power outputs caused by the draconian emissions controls that came into force. That's why you'll be well-served by adding this 1974 Plymouth Duster to your collection. With a mere 40,200 miles, you can tell that it's a low-mileage, lightly-used example. It also comes with some interesting stickers on the dashboard, harking back to the Seventies and providing a further sense of nostalgia for days gone by.
For the seasoned classic car enthusiast, this vehicle could easily become your next "orange crush." Revered within the classic muscle car community, the Plymouth nameplate holds a cherished spot due to its history of crafting exceptional automobiles. Since their discontinuation in 2001, the allure of Plymouth models has only grown, owing to their increasing rarity. Among the illustrious names like Barracuda, Fury, and Road Runner, the GTX shines as a mid-sized, upscale-trimmed performance muscle car that captivated enthusiasts with its impeccable handling, thanks to its "heavy-duty" suspension. Now, with this meticulously preserved 1970 Plymouth GTX Coupe boasting a mere 73,000 miles on the odometer, you have the opportunity to own a prized piece of muscle car history. Nestled in pristine condition in Idaho, it eagerly awaits its new custodian.
