"1973 Plymouth Barracuda Hardtop
""And now, a sportier version of Plymouth Valiant, a 1973 Barracuda and 'Cuda, both sporty two door hardtops. Special sports cars that offer you the most in style and performance. Sporty front and rear ends, all the new engineering features that make them different. Extra care in engineering, it makes a difference!"" From the promotional video for the Barracuda, Duster, and Valiant of 1973.
For consignment, a 1973 Plymouth Barracuda hardtop showing 87,102 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a PA title exemption. Owned by our consignor since 2013, this car received a complete restoration in 2015 and a 5.7 Hemi V8.
Exterior
Two stage Rubicon Green Metallic got our attention, and it will get yours too! Black provides some tasteful contrast, first on the matte nostril hood, on the rear AAR style spoiler, and on the hockey stick stripe on the rear quarter highlighting the Hemi name. Up front, arguably one of the coolest noses in the business with a gill like divider between the black grilles and round headlights. Also cool is the black fascia hosting quad tail lights, another design feature that stands out in the vast world of Mopar badassery. 15-inch Cragar SS wheels hold 60 series tires, BF Goodrich's with letters out, an era trend that just looks right. Imperfections include some surface rust on the wheels, some mismatched panels and blotchy paint, gap issues on the fender, gold flake heavy in spots, and a few chips.
Interior
Black plastic door panels set the tone for the interior palette and present cleanly without a single mar. Black vinyl bucket seats present nicely and so does the rear bench. A two spoke sport steering wheel fronts a clean and simple instrument cluster with the speedometer to the left of the accordion covered column and four condition gauges headed to the right and all of it is in great condition. A Pioneer AM/FM/CD brings the tunes up to date a bit and the center console remains true to 1973. Not only is the T-shifter based in a woodgrain faceplate, but it's walled off from the passenger with the rising right cove of the console itself which gently blends into the storage bin behind it. Black loop carpet looks great and the trunk is spotless with fresh green paint.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a color matched 5.7 liter Hemi V8 with 340 horsepower, fuel injected and backed by an A727 Torqueflite 3-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the 8 ¾ inch rear. Power brakes, power steering, air conditioning, and headers are on board.
Undercarriage
The clean underside, with some minor surface rust is a welcome sight. The dual exhaust run to an X-pipe, then through Pypes mufflers, exiting through square tips that fit into the rear valance. Power brakes include front disc and rear drum and suspension is comprised of torsion bars up front and leaf springs in back.
Drive-Ability
We enter what is a simple interior by today's standards, classic and analog in every way. We pump the gas and turn the key and the more modern Hemi which comes to life without protest. Off we go, onto the test loop where the car tracks straight and handles well and provides some impressive power. And to top things off, all functions operate as intended on this bright green Mopar. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
The color and just the fact it's a Barracuda makes it show worthy, now add the updated engine, better sound system, and clean interior, and you have a real winner. It's a car that looks fast standing still; a little bit of Mopar royalty with some iconic features.
