Vehicle Description
The 1966 Plymouth Barracuda is already a distinctive-looking
classic, and that was before you saw all the custom work done to
this one. With a well-coordinated exterior, new interior, and
upgraded V8 power, this is the value-priced classic that's ready to
turn heads.
You can instantly tell this is no factory car. The white paint is
not only shiny, but it also serves as a canvas for the rest of this
custom look. It starts with a matte black hood - a classic feature
for competition cars. Plus, the black and red fender stripes make
this look like it came straight from the racetrack, too. And the
deeply tinted windows add even more dark appeal. There's also a
conscious effort to really give this a modern chrome-free
appearance, so the bumpers are painted white, all the trim is
blacked-out, the 18-inch alloys are black, and they even shaved the
door handles. This is a very distinct street machine.
There has been a recent investment in a new interior, and so now it
carries the same color theme as the exterior. This looks fresh,
clean, and quite mean. The bucket seats have that great low-back
classic look, and they feature a comfortable cloth inset for where
you sit. Plus, there are provisions for power windows and a stereo.
Someone spent some time really getting details right where the
center of the dash even has the same red and black stripe as the
fenders. And while the interior is nearly as chrome-free as the
exterior, they couldn't resist having it on the spokes of the sport
steering wheel to really call out to the driver.
The best Barracudas received the 273 cubic-inch Commando V8. It's
an important motor to the pony car wars, and so we're happy to see
this D-code car have the correct displacement V8 under the hood. In
fact, the consignor states this is the original motor. But just
like the rest of the car, you can also see someone has invested
nicely in the motor. This includes an aluminum radiator, newer
hoses, and TTI long tube headers that add power to the motor and
thunder to the quad-tip dual exhaust. Add in a three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, front disc brakes, and
grippy modern tires, and this is great performance classic with
some steady moves.
Complete with maintenance records, this is a cool custom offered
for a value price. Don't miss this Mopar. Call today!!!
