The Plymouth Barracuda is a two-door pony car that was manufactured by Plymouth from 1964 to 1974. The first-generation Barracuda was based on the Chrysler A-body and was offered from 1964 to 1966. A two-door hardtop fastback design, it shared a great majority of parts and bodywork with the Plymouth Valiant, except for the huge and distinctive wraparound rear glass. The 273 engine was made available as an upgraded Commando version with a four-barrel carburetor, 10.5:1 compression, and a more aggressive camshaft, still with solid tappets. This is easily the cleanest Barracuda we've had & it really is a sight to see. It has certainly been babied by it's previous owners with regular maintenance and oil changes. This bad boy is road ready with YOU behind the wheel of it, so don't miss out!
