1973 Plymouth Barracuda

A previously restored and customised example of the head-turning American pony car, finished in the eye-catching hue of Moulin Rouge. It is powered by a 360ci (5.9L) V8, delivering around 180kW / 245hp to the rear wheels through a three-speed ‘Slap Stik’ automatic transmission. This Barracuda has been fitted with a Dodge Dart type bonnet scoop and a few other modifications. The car is finished in Moulin Rouge with black side decals, a silver front grille section and a black bonnet, which is fitted with a Dodge Dart type bonnet scoop. A full metal bonnet that matches the car is also included in the sale, plus another spare that is fabricated in fibreglass. The cabin is trimmed in Dove White vinyl with black carpets. It rides on a set of 16-inch wheels, shod with BFGoodrich tyres. The cabin is fitted with aftermarket oil pressure and water temperature gauges as well as a Bluetooth-compatible Alpine CD player with USB and auxiliary inputs. An Alpine amplifier and Punch subwoofer have been installed in the boot. The air filter has been repositioned so that it draws in fresh air from the bonnet scoop. A rear window louvre panel has been installed. Accompanying the sale is the spare wheel, fire extinguisher, and a folder of invoices and receipts. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess exterior and interior condition. The seller reports that the car has previously been restored, and is thought to have been resprayed during the process. Specific notes from the seller include: small cracks on the instrument cluster surround. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. The seller carried out an oil service in November 2022. Prior to this, the car was serviced in 2021 by an authorised mechanic, who replaced the suspension bushes. An oil service was previously carried out in 2020. This is an attention-grabbing example of Plymouth’s celebrated 1970s pony car, finished in the vivid hue of Moulin Rouge complete with a contrasting black bonnet and pronounced air scoop to give it substantial road presence. Recently serviced and fitted with new suspension bushes, it would make a usable and crowd-pleasing addition to any Mopar enthusiast’s collection.
