attractive example began life as a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda High
Price Class sports coupe with an RG 225 cid 6-cylinder engine

RPM Air Gap intake manifold and Edelbrock 600 cfm performer

joining the original fastback offering.The new Barracuda was
chiefly the work of John E Harlitz 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.The rear
portion of the roof on the fastback coupe was more streamlined, and
