1970 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA 383 SPORTS AUTO COUPE – 5785 MILES SHOWING

The Plymouth Barracuda is a two-door pony car that was manufactured by Plymouth from 1964 to 1974.

The first-generation Barracuda was based on the Chrysler A-body and was offered from 1964 to 1966. A two-door hardtop fastback, it shared a great majority of parts and bodywork with the Plymouth Valiant, except for the huge and highly distinctive wraparound rear glass.

The second-generation Barracuda, though still Valiant-based, was heavily redesigned. Built from 1967 to 1969, it was available in fastback, hardtop, and convertible versions.

The third generation, offered from 1970 to 1974, was based on the Chrysler E-body, exclusive to it and the slightly larger Dodge Challenger. A completely new design, it was available in hardtop and convertible body styles

This lovely example was purchased from an owner in Springfield Missouri USA in 2011 and has made its journey to South Australia.
