Vehicle Description
Step back in time with this stunning 1966 Plymouth Barracuda Sport
Coupe, a car that has been cherished and preserved throughout its
life. Built at the Los Angeles plant on January 6, 1966, this
classic was sold new on June 6, 1966, by Vines Chrysler Plymouth of
Long Beach, California. Its journey began with its first owner in
Long Beach, who kept it until June 20, 1967, when it found a new
home with its second owner in nearby Lakewood, California.
For nearly two decades, the Barracuda stayed in California until
the second owners relocated to Georgetown, Texas, in 1985. They
continued to care for the car until 2001, when it was sold to a
third owner in Cypress, Texas. Under their ownership, it remained
in loving hands until June 11, 2019, when it joined the collection
of an Indianapolis-based enthusiast. Finally, in November 2024, we
were fortunate to acquire this exceptional example, which has been
preserved as a true testament to its era.
Finished in its original Bronze Metallic paint with a factory white
bucket seat interior, this Barracuda is a beautiful sight. The
exterior has undergone a high-quality repaint that maintains its
factory charm, while the interior remains an authentic
representation of mid-century style. Under the hood lies the
original 273 cubic inch V8 engine, paired with an automatic
transmission. The engine has been upgraded with a factory
four-barrel intake and an Edelbrock carburetor to enhance
performance while preserving its vintage character.
Additional features include factory air conditioning, a console, a
driver's-side remote control mirror, and an AM radio. To complete
its stylish look, the car now rides on new Cragar Classic wheels
with radial tires, though the original wheels and hubcaps are
included for purists.
This Barracuda has been lovingly maintained, with extensive service
and parts receipts documenting its journey. It runs and drives
beautifully, offering a smooth, reliable experience behind the
wheel.
A true survivor, this car's rust-free history and well-documented
ownership make it a rare gem. If you're searching for a classic
Barracuda with style, performance, and an incredible story, don't
let this one slip away!!!
