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 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.
