The Barracuda was a pony car released by Chrysler in 1964. They
were initially based on on the Chrysler A body and shared a lot of
bodywork with the Valiant. Towards the end of the 60s they were
still Valiant based but heavily redesigned before being moved to
the exclusive E-body platform only shared by the slightly larger
Dodge Challenger. These had a distinctive split front grill design
and this one also has the twin bulge hood set up with chrome hood
pins. The body of the car is all solid and painted in TorRed (also
known as Hemi Orange) and has the Black side stripes with the 383
on the back fenders back. It has the Blacked out rear taillight
panel in place and the triple stacked taillights work properly. All
of the chrome and stainless is in good condition with a nice shine
as is the window trim and 'Cuda emblems. The car rides on nice
Rallye "Police Interceptor" style wheels with beauty rings and
Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires.
The drivetrain in the car is all very stock being powered by its
383 topped with a 4 barrel and the 383 Magnum dual snorkel air
cleaner. It looks very clean under the hood with with firewall,
inner fenders, and radiator support all cleanly painted. The engine
runs very strong and is backed up by a 4 Speed manual and the car
was also ordered with power brakes from the factory. It sounds
great too with the dual exhaust that routes out of the rear valance
under the bumper through chrome tips. An upgraded modern AC has
been added which utilizes R134 refrigerant and a Sanden
compressor.
The interior is done in all Black and is in good condition. It has
the factory high back bucket seats with seat belts (3 point front)
and the original console with pistol grip shifter. Woodgrain trim
can be found on the console and on the dash around the Rallye
gauges that include a tachometer and 150mph speedometer. Adjustable
vents are located under the dash and the AC blows cold. The trunk
is all painted as well and has a Gray mat in place.
This iconic Mopar is a real deal 'Cuda and has a lot going for it.
It has been in a private indoor collection since being purchased as
is by the previous owner.
