Plymouth Barracuda (1965)
for sale

Price: US $2,995.00

Description:

This auction is for a very cool, vintage 1965 Plymouth Barracuda. I’ve owned this car for just over 10 years and have done a lot of work to it including an engine upgrade and suspension improvements and a 5 speed transmission swap. The overdrive gear combined with numerically low rear axle ratio really makes this a great highway cruiser. It is ready to be a unique daily driver or can be taken to the next level and made into a show worthy resto-mod. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to come see it in person for a test drive. I respond quickly to texts, calls, and emails.

I’ve tried to accurately describe the condition of this car. It was originally a slant-six car from New York State (Cortland). Somehow, despite being from the northeast, this car has very little rust. The few spots it does have are documented in the pictures. The car was originally gold on gold but was re-sprayed in white by the previous owner. The paint is very tired as you can see in the pictures. My original plan was to get the body redone with new paint but other projects are taking over (new house!). As a 50 year old car, it isn’t perfect but is a fun driver. There are some minor chips, scrapes, bumps and bruises that I’ve also tried to show accurately. I am very flexible in terms of showing and test driving the car. Thanks for looking!
