Vehicle Description
A 1972 Plymouth Barracuda with a great High Impact color, big V8
under the hood, and all the right upgrades. Oh yeah, this legendary
muscle car is a turnkey ready fun machine.
Owning a Barracuda from this era is a bit like entrance into an
exclusive club. By 1972, higher insurance premiums were beginning
to kill muscle car production numbers, and Chrysler always had
lower figures then the rest of The Big Three - so these are rare.
Combine this with Mopar's traditionally long option list, and the
Barracuda camaraderie is often about the few ways owner's cars are
alike because each is very rare and unique. But one piece that
everyone looks for on these classics is Chrysler's famous High
Impact colors. Tor-Red is Plymouth's version of Hemi Orange, and
Mopar fans know 1972 was the last year this was offered. That's why
we suspect there was plenty invested in a shining tribute to this
cool paint. And more than just the bold red, this is truly an
aggressive machine, right down to the details like the hood scoops,
iconic Rallye wheels, and the red grille accents that look like the
glowing eyes of a hungry wolf.
The moment you slip into the high-back bucket seat, it feels like
1972 all over again. Every inch of the black interior feels nicely
persevered - from the door panels, to the carpets, to the
headliner. You've got the desirable center console with the T-bar
gearshift sitting boldly in the middle of the wood veneer. The
stock two-spoke sports steering wheel feels simple, direct, and
effective. It gives you a great view of the factory gauge package.
It's a true muscle machine, and Chrysler made sure it all focused
on the driver.
Mopar fans will get excited when you lift the hood. After 1971
regulations killed off the 383 cubic-inch big block that helped
make the 'Cuda a legend. So we are pretty darn happy to see it
return for an encore in coupe. Because this is such an important
motor, it has also been upgraded with a four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock intake, Mickey Thompson valve covers, and a Champion
aluminum radiator. You better believe this one make a menacing
growl through the dual exhaust. But more than just an intimidator,
this 'Cuda is a fine driver with its three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, front disc brakes, thick sway bar,
and new urethane bushings.
Buying this speedy Plymouth means you're a member of a rare Mopar
club, and considering the exclusivity and performance you receive,
the dues seem quite reasonable. Call today!!!
