“Ask the average enthusiast to name a pony car and most will inevitably say “”Mustang”” or “”Camaro””. Ask a Mopar guy and you’ll hear the history of the Plymouth Barracuda. It was publicly available two full weeks before the Mustang, did everything just as well (if not better) and still managed to lag behind the competition in volume sales.<\/p>\n
Although it continued to share many components with the Valiant, the second-generation Barracuda was fully redesigned with model-specific sheet metal that provided a more upscale and aggressive appearance worthy of competing with other pony cars of the day. Like the Mustang, the Barracuda was available in three body styles, including convertible, fastback and the notchback.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, history has righted the oversights of the 1960s buying public and put these cars back in the spotlight. If you wanted the baddest fish on the street in 1968, a car like this Barracuda would’ve been the ideal build. Dressed in a unique color, with a built 440 under the hood, this stout A-body is the kind of big-motor-small-car situation that puts a smile on any gearhead’s face.<\/p>\n
