1971 Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe 383 4-Speed 1 of 16 Built |
Numbers-Matching Big Block | Shaker | Sure-Grip Welcome to Street
Dreams Texas-serving classic and collector car enthusiasts
worldwide for over 27 years. Offered here is an exceptionally rare
and highly desirable 1971 Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe, finished
in its correct Tawny Gold Metallic (GY9) with black 383 billboard
graphics and a gold vinyl top (V1Y) over black premium leather
interior (PRX9). This is not a typical Barracuda. Of the 1,615 Gran
Coupes produced in 1971, only 16 were factory-equipped with the
383ci 4-barrel V8 and 4-speed manual transmission-making this a
truly elite Mopar collector piece. Power comes from the
numbers-matching 383ci V8 (E65), paired to the highly sought-after
A833 4-speed manual transmission (D21) and Sure-Grip rear
differential, delivering the raw torque and driver engagement that
defines the muscle car era. Key Specifications * VIN: BP23N1B313767

with age This is a true BP23 Gran Coupe, confirmed by the VIN and
fender tag. It retains the correct Gran Coupe trim elements,
including the luxury interior, overhead consolette, and argent tail
panel. The car retains its numbers-matching 383ci V8 (E65) and is
equipped with a Sure-Grip differential and 3.23:1 gearing, which
provides an excellent balance of drivability and performance. We've
included photos of the engine stampings, VIN, and fender tag in the
gallery for verification. Based on production data for 1971
Barracuda Gran Coupes, approximately 1,615 were produced, with only
around 16 factory-equipped with the 383ci 4-barrel and 4-speed
manual (D21). This example falls within that documented
configuration, supported by the fender tag and drivetrain. The car
delivers a classic big-block Mopar driving experience-strong
torque, responsive throttle, and excellent engagement through the
pistol-grip 4-speed. The MagnaFlow exhaust provides a deep,
aggressive tone without being overwhelming. This 1971 Barracuda
Gran Coupe represents a rare opportunity to own a documented,
numbers-matching big block Mopar with one of the lowest-production
drivetrain combinations available. Cars with this level of rarity
and factory configuration are increasingly difficult to source and
continue to see strong collector demand! If you have an interest in
