1965 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback 273

Description

Despite beating Ford to the punch in the pony car race by 17 days, the Plymouth Barracuda never achieved the stratospheric sales of the Mustang. Odd, considering that the Barracuda debuted with a sporty fastback roofline which didn't appear on the Mustang until the 1965 model year.

Powered by a rebuilt 273ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, this 1965 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback benefits from significant refurbishing according to the selling dealer. The engine overhaul was reportedly completed approximately two years ago, with about 200 miles added since.

Finished in white with a gold center stripe, the car features a re-trimmed gold interior and gold powder-coated wheels fitted with modern tires. Equipment includes an aluminum radiator, dual exhaust system, a retro-style stereo, and more as described below.

This refreshed barracuda is now offered on behalf of the current owner by the selling dealer with a clean California title.
