Plymouth Barracuda 318 CID V8 1964
General description :
Now for sale in our Houston showroom is this beautiful 1964 Plymouth Barracuda. 1964 was the first year of the Cuda and the model lasted until 1974. The runaway success of the mid 1964 Ford Mustang made Plymouth respond with their own creation, The Barracuda. The most noticeable feature of the 64 Cuda is the oversized wraparound rear window that really gives this car a unique. Originally equipped with a 273 CiD V8, this Cuda now has a slightly modified larger 318 CiD V8 that has a bunch of goodies on it. The engine still features the 273 cylinder heads with solid lifters, it has a high rise Edlebrock intake with a 570 cfm Holley street avenger carburetor, some sweet long tube polished headers that lead to a new dual SS X-pipe exhaust that gives this car a very nice sound. It also features an HEI electronic ignition system so you can rest easy this baby will start. The car has had the front end suspension rebuilt to make the ride quality much better. A large multicore aluminum radiator with electric fans keeps that small block nice & cool no matter how you are driving it. Matched to the 318 is a 4-speed manual transmission that shifts smoothly & firm through the gears and makes the car fun to drive. The exterior of the car is in pristine condition and shows very well. The car was originally black from the factory and has all the original sheet metal & glass. The owner painted it a few years ago in 2002 Dodge Viper Red and I must say it looks sweet. This car out in the sunshine really puts our pictures to shame, you have to see how nice this car is. The exterior trim, bumpers, grill, headlight bezels, & glass are in like new condition. The body panel gaps are even, the doors, hood, & trunk all open & close with ease. The car sits on a set of very nice looking 17-inch torque thrust wheels that look brand new & are wrapped in Kumho tires that have plenty of life in them. You’ll also notice the Wilwood disc brake upgrade in the front that make the car more streetable. Getting into the car you will see a nice contrasting black vinyl interior that is all new. New seats, new carpet, new headliner, dashboard, armrest, gauge cluster, & more! The all new interior really puts the cherry on top of this muscle car sundae. The manual trans features a Hurst shifter with matching steering wheel. You notice a nice under dash AC unit that blows very cold and the system has been upgraded to a new more efficient R134a system. The car was originally an AC car from the factory. The trunk has been completely customized a nice Rockford Fosgate sound system with (2) 10” R2 subwoofers & (2) 6x9 full range speakers that are powered by a nice sized all in one amplifier. When that bass bounces off the back hatch, you’d better believe your nose is gonna tickle. The car is a multiple award winner throughout many shows it has been in, including the latest Concours D’elegance. The fit & finish on the car is second to none and a lot of time & money has gone into the build. The owner has the original window sticker and factory build sheet with the car. The car is priced to sell & with a car this nice you are stealing it from us at this price! We challenge to find a nicer one! Options on this car include; new AC system(blows cold!), a banging Rockford Fosgate sound system, power brakes, vinyl interior, custom wheels, seat belts, & more!
