Vehicle Description
The 1965 Plymouth Barracuda had a bold design, and the best ones
had V8 power like this example. So while you're looking at plenty
of preservation on this coupe, we also love that the paint is
vibrant enough to attract the extra attention this Mopar
deserves.
Plymouth was responsible for one of the most interesting cars on
the road for the mid-60s. It combined a great hardtop profile,
fastback style, and the largest wraparound rear window anyone had
seen. It also has some of the most interesting sheetmetal lines,
and so the upgrade to orange really works here. It's a quality
application from later in life, and so you get a nice gloss that
helps to highlight how straight this unique sheetmetal is. The trim
is complete; the doors close with confidence; and you have sporty
details like the Rallye wheels. So overall it's a very vintage
presentation that also has some extra boldness. This is the dawn of
the pony car ear, and so you want a driver-focused interior. Bucket
seats, a three-spoke sports steering wheel, and floor shifter give
this a sporty feeling. There's even a period-correct style tach
added. The whole presentation feels quite stock, and in fact, most
of it gives the impression of a well-preserved originally. There
are even nice classic details, like the fold-down rear seats, and
the factory AM radio was given period-correct upgrades for rear
speakers and an FM tuner.
The best Barracudas received the 273 cubic-inch motor and so it's
great to see on the VIN that this was born a V8 coupe. In fact,
this decodes to an era-correct block. So while the engine bay
received the upgraded paint, it's also nice to have the motor
looking so stock. The V8 gives you a nice torque advantage and a
proper sound out of the newer dual exhaust. Plus, there's power
steering, a three-speed automatic transmission, and wide BF
Goodrich T/As to keep this a nice cruiser.
Mopar coupes are always in demand, and so a bold V8 first-gen
Barracuda is always going to draw attention. Don't miss this deal,
