Plymouth Barracuda 340 1972
General description :
For sale at Gateway Classic Cars in our St. Louis showroom is a 1972 Plymouth Barracuda powered by a numbers matching 340 small block. This beautiful Barracuda is painted in a muscle car classic, Red over a Black vinyl interior with bucket seats and riding on a set of Mopar Rally wheels with radial rubber. Thanks to a recent restoration, this car looks just as good underneath as it does on the outside. The FE5 Red paint is only 6 months old and is a base coat/clear coat. Equipment on this Barracuda includes Power brakes, Power steering, A/C and a CD player. The Cuda is also equipped with the original fender tag and a copy of the broadcast sheet. The 340 makes a great sound and is mated to a 727 Torque-Flight automatic transmission and on back to an 8 3/4 rear-end with 3.55 gears. That’s truly one of the best ratios, 3.55s will allow you fun in town and still be able to cruise on the highway with comfort. 1972 was an interesting year for the Barracuda. The single style headlights returned after being away from one year with the '71s and new taillights were introduced. Also, the one year only fender louvers were removed making them a one year only for the '71s. Here's an opportunity to own one of the most beautiful muscle cars produced.
