Plymouth Barracuda Formula S

The Plymouth Barracuda, an answer to the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Corvair Monza. The people who called themselves the 'shotcallers' at Plymouth at the time, wanted to call this car the Panda. An idea that the designers did not like. Fortunately, they quickly came up with the current name (a bit tougher); the Barracuda.

The first generation Barracuda was produced from 1964 to 1966. A technical feat; because of the design, Plymouth entered into a partnership with Pittsburgh Plate Glass. This was to realize the large curved rear window. At the time, the largest rear window that was produced for a production car.

The Barracuda was produced with three different engines. The 2.8, 3.7 and the 4.5 liter. Ours does everything to get rid of its 'pony car' title, because it has been given the largest possible power source. The Formula S, the 273 cubic inch V8 with double carburetor has 235 hp and makes itself heard.

In addition to the performance and beautiful design, this Barracuda is also much more unique than a Mustang. During the production of the Barracuda mk1 ('64-'66) 126,538 Mustangs were made, while only 23,443 Barracudas rolled off the production line (of which even fewer V8s).

In 1966 the Barracuda got a facelift, making our model the most popular model year of the Barracuda. ​​The V-logo made way for the barracuda fish on the tailgate and bumpers and taillights fitted in better with the whole. This Barracuda has recently been completely nut and bolt restored and completely built with original and high-quality materials. With its new condition, color combination and history this is a real Cool Classic!
