Pick of the Day: 1967 Plymouth Barracuda is road-trip ready

V8-powered car being sold because of owner’s health

-

The Pick of the Day a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda apparently driven only 63,000 miles since new, and offered for sale by its private owner in Orlando, Florida.

“I purchased this car sight unseen in 2015,” the seller notes in the car’s advertisement on ClassicCars.com, “flew to Delaware… cranked it up and drove it to Orlando, Florida. A great first road trip…. ran great, still does.”

The seller adds that the car is being sold because of illness.

“I have not driven this car as much as intended but every time I do, it’s a blast,” the seller says. 

“Nice driver, fun at car shows, auto events. Gets a ton of attention at gas stations, parking lots and on the road. Engine is solid and no major mechanical issues.”

The seller adds that were the car being kept, “I would add front disc brakes and at some point, repaint” in the same color. The seller notes that the car was red when it left the Chrysler assembly plant, and was equipped with a 225cid Slant 6 engine instead of the 273cid V8 that currently powers it.

Plymouth launched its Barracuda model for 1964 as a Valiant-based fastback with a massive rear backlight, the body style was termed “glassback.” The car was meant to be a competitor to the Ford Mustang.

Beginning with the 1967 model year, the Barracuda became a stand-alone model in notchback, fastback (but no longer glassback) and convertible body styles.

The ’67 Barracuda is offered for $19,800. To view this listing on ClassicCars.com, see Pick of the Day.
