Vehicle Description
STK 3046 1965 Plymouth Barracuda
The first generation Barracuda was introduced in 1964. It was based
on the Plymouth Valiant that utilized a uni-body structure.
However, this new Barracuda was configured with a fastback body
that was totally unique. Our 1965 Barracuda received a full
restoration. The original EE-code Barracuda Dark Blue was
professionally re-sprayed (2012) as a two-stage finish and is in
good condition. The vinyl interior has been restored to original
appearance. Seating has been reupholstered and new carpeting has
been installed. The dash is fitted with an Autogage tach and the
classic Barracuda 'wood-grain' spoke wheel is a great accent. (A
set of aftermarket gauges has also been installed but are currently
inop.) Most notably, the huge rear tinted window is also in very
good condition - replacements are rare. Our Barracuda is powered by
a 225ci 'slant six' donated by a '72 Dodge Dart that has been
professionally built and sounds strong. It is fitted with an
Offenhauser 4-barrel intake, Holley 4-barrel carb, Holman-Moody
HM-6250 performance cam and MSD ignition. It is backed by a 3-speed
automatic transmission and exhaust is routed through a split tube
header to a free flowing system with 'cutouts'. The front
suspension is twin-torsion bar paired with rear leaf springs. The
chassis is equipped with factory manual steering and 4-wheel drum
brakes. Period correct 15" American Racing 5-spoke chrome alloys
mount Futura radials. Classic MOPARs are more in demand now than
ever before. If you are looking for a solid example of a Gen 1
'Cuda, take the time to see this one - we believe that you will be
pleased. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
