The Plymouth Barracuda is a two-door car that was manufactured by Plymouth from the 1964 1⁄2 to 1974 model years. The first-generation Barracuda, a fastback A-body coupe based on the Plymouth Valiant, had distinctive wraparound back glass and was available from 1964 1⁄2 to 1966. The second-generation 1967 to 1969 Barracuda, though still Valiant-based, was heavily redesigned. Second-generation A-body cars were available in fastback, notchback, and convertible versions. This second generation 1971 Barracuda is a numbers matching car with the original 383 cubic inch 6.3 liter "B" Block V8 linked to a smooth shifting automatic transmission.
