One of only 963 produced
(approximately 550 of them 4-speeds), this is an extremely nice Plymouth
Barracuda fastback Formula “S” 383 4-speed. If you appreciate factory originality and have a passion for the Mopar A
body, you’ll love this incredibly well maintained sample with less than 94, 000
original miles on the original number matching 383 engine and 4-speed
transmission. The engine appears to have
never been out of the car. The only
non-original/non-factory component under the hood is the Chrysler electronic
ignition conversion package. All of the fuel system is original and/or factory
correct. The automatic choke and cold
startup features work perfectly, fast idle, etc. The clutch is strong and the transmission
shifts smoothly without any drive noise in any gear. The only part of the drive train that has
been out of the car is the rear axle. Originally
equipped with a peg-leg third member, I replaced it with the correct ratio 3:23
sure grip.
This car has all of the Formula “S” options including front
disc brakes, sport wheel covers, five new red line tires (Coker radials), bucket
seat deluxe interior, factory tachometer (works perfectly), dual exhaust and
body side stripes. The 14 x 5.5 factory
steel wheels are new as are the correct 2 inch tall lug nuts on the original
4-inch bolt circle, LH studs on the driver’s side.
Some recent interior work includes new carpet, front bucket
seat covers, chrome arm rest bases, console tops, shifter boots (upper & lower), dash bezel, heater core and glove box. The rest of the interior is original including
the arm rests, door panels, dash pads, headliner and back seat covers. The AM radio looks perfect but does not work. Recent exterior work includes new trunk
weather stripping, trunk lid trim panels, tail light bezels, tail light lenses
and wheel opening moldings. The paint is
excellent at 10 feet as the pictures indicate, but is not the original color. The original Light Green Metallic (FF1) was
changed before I owned the car to Racing Green Metallic (GG1). A close inspection will show what an
incredible effort was taken to make the color change. A repaint is completely out of the question unless
you plan to pursue OEM competition.
Be prepared for this auction to end early in the event of receiving
an acceptable offer. If the auction runs
its course, a $500 payment must be made within 24 hours after the auction
ends. Transportation is on you and I can
store the car for a reasonable period of time while transportation arrangements
are being made. Payment in full must be
verified “good funds” in my bank account before the car leaves my possession.
Please call with any questions (501) 337-3383 or message me
for a prompt reply.
Thanks for your interest and good luck!
