Vehicle Description
Late in 1962, Chrysler caught wind of a new compact, sporty coupe
under development by Ford. Chrysler quickly began development of
their own competitor and the Plymouth Barracuda was born in 1964,
16 days before the release of the Mustang. Arguably the first "pony
car", the first-generation Barracudas are known for their
distinctive rear glass window, the largest ever produced at that
time.
This particular example is the last year of the first generation,
sporting the 273 cubic-inch "Commando" engine, the most powerful
offered which features an upgraded camshaft, higher compression and
an upgraded exhaust over the basic 273. It has undergone a very
extensive rotisserie restoration with less than 200 miles on it
since. The underside looks as clean as the top with fresh paint on
the underbody and frame. In the interior lies stunning red leather
seats and matching red carpet. Having undergone a very extensive
restoration, a build binder is included with numerous receipts of
items purchased for the car. The engine and transmission are
believed to have been rebuilt in the process, and taking a look in
the valve cover breather, it certainly looks it.
