The Plymouth Barracuda is a member of the pony car category, created by Chrysler cooperation to add a little bit of zest to their otherwise courteous lineup of vehicles at the time. The two-door muscle car entered production in 1964 and stayed for ten years, spanning three generations before retiring in 1974. The Barracuda shared a lot of its DNA with the Plymouth Valiant but was undeniably the more playful one of the two. The second-generation Barracuda entered the scene in 1967 after a redesign. This 1968 Plymouth Barracuda comes from California with 72,000 miles on the clock and is reported to be a numbers-matching car.
The heavy redesign of the second generation brought Coke-bottle contours, as well as a revised front and rear end. Chrysler designers decided to add a touch of elegance to the Barracuda as well, giving it wider wheel openings, curved side glass, and S-curved roof pillars on the hardtop variant. This 1968 Plymouth Barracuda wears a suit of mist-green and is reported to have repainted in its original color, with the dazzling chrome trims, notably farming the split grille up front, along with the front and rear bumpers. It is a convertible and features its factory green vinyl top. It sits on period correct. Period-correct chrome Cragar wheels complete the look, and the original wheels are included in the sale as well. The interior of this Barracuda is a treat in itself. The cabin is welcoming, with pristine leather seats, subtle chrome trips and period in-dash radio. The armrests have been replaced, and the instrument clusters have been treated to a restoration too.
Under the hood, this 1968 Plymouth Barracuda is mostly original with its aforementioned numbers-matching engine and transmission. The powerplant is a 318ci (5.2L) V8 that produced 230 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, driving the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. The car has been fitted with a new radiator and battery and is reported to have all service records up to date.
The 1970s were a thriving age for American muscle cars, with more and more competitors adding their own flavor to the mix. Dodge and Plymouth E-Body cars are among the most famous muscle-era vehicles. They joined the party later than others, having arrived in 1970. In fact, some fans contend that their best years were 1970 and 1971. 1969 was the first year Plymouth used the name CUDA, which was an enthusiast package trim level. This handsome example is a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda with 80,000 miles on its clock. This example enjoys a recently installed BluePrint 408ci engine built by experts in crate engines.
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.
Plymouth was one of America’s great automakers. Introduced in 1928 by Walter P. Chrysler, the brand took its inspiration not from Plymouth Rock, but from that of Plymouth Binder Twine. This twine was said to be popular among farmers, and a brand-name association would no doubt help sales of the car. Plymouth produced many greats over the years, but the brand sadly retired in 2001. No worries though, because classic Plymouth cars such as this 1947 Plymouth Special Deluxe provide you with an avenue to own a piece of the brand’s history. This fully restored car is ready for a new owner, and sports a new heart for even better performance.
