With its iconic design and impressive power, the market for pony cars in the '70s was ever-growing. The Plymouth Barracuda played a big part in the trend, which saw some iconic metal produced over the ages. The Barracuda was a 2-door sports pony car with a production run of ten years which spanned three generations. The first generation and second-generation cars shared many parts and some design elements with the Plymouth Valiant. The 3rd generation of the Barracuda saw significant changes with its complete redesign. The vehicle was now based on the Chrysler E-body. With the completely new design, the car was also available as a hardtop and convertible. Up for sale is a third-generation 1970 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible. The same family has owned our subject car since new, with documentation. This particular specimen is documented by the Chrysler Historical Collection Corporation, being one of just 32-40 cars ever produced. With such provenance, this numbers-matching Barracuda has only run 73000 miles from new. Additionally, the car is reported to be in excellent condition due to it being stored in a climate control garage for its entire life.
This Plymouth Barracuda is a rare piece for a true classic car enthusiast. The car sports a unique "Lemon Twist Yellow" original exterior color and rides on a set of factory Rallye Wheels. Bolstering this car's originality, it features factory fog lights and even the original window sticker with the buyer's order available as proof. This Barracuda's iconic looks are enhanced with the dual scoop hood with factory hood pins and black 440 hockey stick stripes running down the rear fender. The car underwent a slight refresh in 1998, and the current owner has all documentation for reference.
This Barracuda's looks are sure to turn heads, but what lies underneath is impressive as well. The car is a numbers matching specimen and still has its original 440cid Super Commando GTX Engine. The all-original engine is coupled to a similarly original Torque Flite Automatic transmission which ensures smooth delivery of power to the rear wheels. It also features the convenience of the optional and original power steering.
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.
