WOW! Want a Sweet, sweet, sweet, little ’66 Barracuda! This is such a nice little car with its 273 V8, automatic trans with console shift, strong, upgraded differential, and super easy and fun to drive.
This Barracuda is clean everywhere you look. The early generation Barracudas are getting harder and harder to find, and in this condition?…Certainly even harder!
This particular Barracuda not only looks amazing with it’s clean smooth body panels and paint, and interior, but it’s also been treated to some nice upgrades here and there that make it so much nicer to drive in todays environment. A few examples of this are: Power 4 wheel disc brakes, 15” wheels with the more typical bolt pattern (5 X 4.5) rather that the “Small” bolt pattern that gives you nearly no wheel and tire options. New electronic accurate gauges, and updated electrical system.
All of the trim and bright work is present save for a couple of “Barracudas” on the fenders to keep it clean.
The paint is a few years old, and shows beautifully in base/coat, clear/coat…Man they did a nice job on it!
The under carriage is clean as well, still showing the original under coating, and new brake and suspension components.
There’s some nice documentation showing some of the work receipts completed on the Barracuda, as well as the original owners manual showing the early maintenance and the original purchaser of the car.
If you’re considering a nice pony car to cruise around in, hit some car shows, cruise-ins, and maybe rally with some friends with classic cars, I don’t see how you can possibly go wrong with this nice little find! Truly an excellent little car!
