1965 Plymouth Barracuda by Richard Schmidt |
This is my Mopar:
I am the second owner of the Barracuda which I bought in 1970. I has about 130,000 actual miles and has been maintained in its current state since modification were done in the early 1970's. All components: engine - 340 V8(1969), Rear differential 8-3/4 POSI (1966), Twin snorkel hood scoop (1973), Halibrand Mag Wheels (1973), Cyclone Fenderwell Headers (1972) and side exit exhaust(1971). All were incorporated to give a nostalgia look of the 70's. The interior is factory stock and all exterior sheet metal, glass and trim pieces are original. The car has been repainted once in 1988 with Dodge truck metallic Blue and Silver Formula "S" stripe. This is a true Formula "S" car with 14" wheels, front sway bar, dash tachometer and beefed up leaf springs. I have no plans to ever change it back to original as the upgrades make it look like it belongs in the early 70's and it always gets complements where ever it is shown.
