Plymouth Barracuda 360 CID V8 1968
General description :
For sale in our Chicago showroom is this sporty ’68 Plymouth Barracuda. Powered by a strong 360 cubic inch V8 and backed by a smooth-shifting 727 Torque-flite automatic transmission, this ‘Cuda can scoot! Since new, a few tasteful upgrades have been installed making this car a true pleasure to drive. A set of sport seats will keep you firmly planted through all the twists and turns, but comfort stays high during longer cruises. A fresh coat of paint was laid down around 2009, and it is so clean that someone could think it was just painted yesterday. The Chrysler Gold shines bright and does a great job accenting the beautiful curves of this classic Mopar. The exhaust spits an aggressive rumble and the tires squeal for mercy when the pedal hits the floor. All of the gauges are in clear sight, helping you maintain a sense of order among the chaos this ‘Cuda brings. The radio was cleverly tucked in a back panel keeping the classic looks in the dash. Want to change the tunes? Use the remote to set the dial to whatever you please! Plant yourself securely in the seat, fire the ignition, throw this fish in drive, and hang on tight. Options include: Air-Conditioning, AM/FM Radio, CD Player, Seat Belts, and a Vinyl Interior.
