HIGHLIGHTS: Clean, classic Mopar convertible! Cold A/C! Power top!
Power brakes & power steering Dual exhaust Bucket seats & center
console! Turn-key! BODY OVERVIEW: The second-generation Barracuda
styling is widely considered a high-water mark for Plymouth, and
this convertible wears those lines exceptionally well. The body is
accented by iconic Rallye wheels wrapped in brand-new rubber,
providing the perfect aggressive-yet-period-correct stance.
Underneath, evidence of professional past sheet metal repairs
indicates that a previous owner took the time to address common
areas of concern and ""do it right,"" ensuring the car remains
solid for years to come. On the surface, the body is straight and
shows beautifully. Buyers should note that the passenger side
grille insert is damaged, as seen in the photos. PAINT CONDITION
OVERVIEW: Though this is an older restoration, the red finish still
holds a lustrous, impressive shine that catches the sunlight
beautifully. As consistent with an older restoration, the paint is
not ""concours-perfect"" and does show some honest character such
as minor scratches/chips. Overall, the presentation is excellent
and will make it a star at any local cars and coffee or cruise in.
The white convertible top provides a sharp contrast to the red
body, ties in beautifully with the white lower stripes, and appears
to be in great condition overall. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The
cabin is a time capsule of 1960s nostalgia, featuring white vinyl
bucket seats and a full center console with the iconic console
shifter. The interior highlights include a factory tachometer and
an added aftermarket fuel gauge for accuracy. Other features
include power convertible top controls for effortless transition
from coupe to open-air, a factory AM radio, and of course, cold air
conditioning. While the interior is in great overall condition, the
front seats and armrests show some signs of aging and minor wear,
which is simply the result of a car that wasn't restored yesterday.
Much like the exterior, overall, the presentation is great-that
white vinyl interior is the perfect contrast to the bright red
exterior! MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Power is provided by the venerable
318ci V8, featuring a dual exhaust system that gives this fish a
proper muscle car growl. The mechanical suite is remarkably
complete for a 1968 model, featuring power steering and power drum
brakes for a comfortable driving experience. Most impressively, the
factory Chrysler air conditioning system blows cold, a feature
often lost to time in many vintage convertibles. All tested
functions are operational, including the power top, ensuring that
the ""utility"" side of this classic is as strong as its ""style""
side. This Barracuda runs and drives wonderfully, and is ready to
cruise! WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: You will love the fact
that this is a ""no-excuses"" driver. It starts, runs, and cools
you down in the summer heat, which is a luxury many classic car
owners only dream of. The combination of the red paint, white top,
and Rallye wheels is a timeless look that attracts positive
attention everywhere it goes. It is a sorted, ready-to-goMopar that
offers the open-air freedom of a convertible without the mechanical
headaches often associated with 50-year-old machinery. Plus, you
just can't beat that classic Barracuda look! WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE
ABOUT THIS CAR: If you are an absolute stickler for factory
originality, the departure from its original green-on-green colors
might give you pause. Otherwise, frankly, this car is hard to hate!
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING? In its current state, this Barracuda needs
nothing but a driver and a full tank of gas to be enjoyed.
Long-term, the new owner might choose to source a replacement
passenger side grille or investigate the reverse lights, but
neither issue prevents the car from being driven and shown with
pride today. It is truly a turn-key classic! WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING
FOR THIS CAR? This car is for the enthusiast who wants to actually
drive their investment. It is perfect for the buyer who wants the
classic Mopar aesthetic and V8 soundtrack but isn't interested in a
six-figure trailer queen that they are afraid to leave unattended
in a parking lot, even just for a minute. If you value a cool &
comfortable cabin, a power top, and a car that has had the heavy
lifting completed, this Barracuda is your perfect catch. Contact
