For Sale: 1969 Plymouth Barracuda in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

Vehicle Description

1969 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible

At a time when the country was embattled with major issues and turmoil, the late 60's turned out to be an outstanding period in the automotive world with several destined to be legends being born from U.S. factories. This is when manufacturers went all out with the production of muscle cars and pony cars with ongoing efforts to push the limits. Among these giants, there were the more pedestrian versions that served more as commuter and family cars, which retained design cues from the memorable monsters.

For consignment, a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda convertible with a title verified 69,023 actual miles. You're looking at a rare model, only 1,442 Barracuda convertibles were made in 1969 and only 245 of them were born with the 225ci six cylinder engine. This is one of them.

Exterior
A better than new shine now reflects off the car with two stage Scorch Red paint blanketing its smooth panels, contrasted by the flawless black canvas top and its glass window. There's also a smooth flat back on the decklid panel, framed in polished trim with a call out for Barracuda and the very cool fish emblem. The rear valance holds the reverse lights in polished housing under a laser straight bumper while up front, the pattern of framed black grilles over a straight bumper illustrates some fine design work and it's all in remarkable condition. 14-inch black steel wheels keep the color coordination going with dog dish hubcaps and white wall 205/75R14 tires with a mid 2019 date code. There's nothing we could pinpoint on the exterior that's an imperfection, it's showroom clean.

Interior
Black vinyl door cards present with some sheen and especially on the passenger side, some uneven tucks have created some pleating, but both doors are clean and intact. Grain vinyl is used on the bucket seats with tuck and roll inserts in the vinyl and the pattern is repeated on the back bench and they are in excellent condition and are set in a base of low pile black carpet with 'Cuda branded mats with red writing on black. We note the backing of the passenger side bucket is loose. The standard steering wheel, pencil thin by today's standards, shows a touch of patina but no cracks, and leads to the simple instrument panel with a speedometer and a four gauge array contained in the right dial. The metallic mid panel takes in the AM radio under the vent levers and the fish makes another appearance on the glovebox. The trunk is lined with the typical plaid vinyl mat and presents cleanly.

Drivetrain
We open the hood to find a clean engine bay housing a 225ci slant six cylinder with a Holley 2-barrel carburetor. Other than the aluminum radiator, the engine presents as original including factory style headers, and the inner fenders are dressed in clean red paint. An A904 3-speed automatic transmission is mated to the engine and routes power to the 7 � inch rear axle.

Undercarriage
Driver quality conditions are found underneath with plenty of surface rust, a few spots of rust through on body braces and inner rockers, some filler in the wheel well, and oil that coats the engine bottom, drifts along the right exhaust pipe with blow back, and some is also seen on the rear differential. The exhaust splits into two from the engine and each wears a stainless steel muffler on its way to the back where it exits discreetly under the car. Drum brakes are at each wheel and suspension is noted as torsion bar in front and leaf springs in the back.

Drive-Ability
We're thrilled to take this rarefish out onto the test loop where the slant six performs in fine fashion with adequate power and a smooth idle. The car tracks straight, handles well, and the drum brakes perform when called upon. We find all functions on the Barracuda are in good working order. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

When you make your show signage, be sure to mention that this is one of 245 six cylinder convertible 1969 Barracudas. That's just icing on the cake for a car with a spectacular top side that could have easily just left the showroom, especially if a clear coat would have been used in '69. You're likely not to see another one at the show, even if that's an all Mopar car show. If you do, be sure to exchange phone numbers as you're both part of an elite ownership club. But let's make it yours first, you know our phone number.
