For sale in our Dallas Fort Worth showroom is a second generation
Plymouth Barracuda from 1967. The second-generation Barracuda,
still shared many components with the Valiant but was stylishly
redesigned with model-specific sheet metal, and a convertible and
hardtop coupe joining the original fastback offering. The new
Barracuda was chiefly the work of John E. Herlitz and John Samsen,
with Coke-bottle side contours and heavily revised front and rear
ends. Design cues included a concave rear deck panel, wider wheel
openings, curved side glass, and S-curved roof pillars on the
hardtop. Some points of interest with the 1967 Cudas were that the
front and rear bumpers were identical. They have the same license
plate indent and mounting bracket. The rear portion of the roof on
the fastback coupe was more streamlined, and the back glass, raked
at a substantially horizontal angle, was much smaller compared with
that of the previous model. Also, the use of chrome trim on the
external sheet metal was more restrained. In 1967, while the 225 cu
in (3.7 L) slant-6 was still the base engine, the V8 options ranged
from the two- and four-barrel versions of the 273 cu in (4.5 L) to
a seldom-ordered 383 cu in (6.3 L) "B" big-block, rated at 280 bhp
(210 kW), the latter available only with the Formula S package.
This Barracuda comes with a rebuilt 225 slant-6 and a 4 speed
automatic transmission. To view the 1967 Plymouth Barracuda in
