1967 Plymouth Barracuda This is the very hard to find and highly sought after Plymouth Barracuda Convertible you have been waiting for. I was trying to acquire this car for about 8 years, and the previous owner finally decided to part with it last fall. I personally haven't seen one for over 20 years. I really wanted to restore this car myself, but I've found myself with too many projects as seen in the back round of the pictures, so I am going to pass it along to the Mopar Lover who really wants a cool car at a nominal price. I'm mainly a Cutlass and 442 guy, but I know how valuable the old Mopar convertible's have become. I will describe everything I was told by the gentleman who sold me the car. He seemed to be very proficient at Chrysler products, since they were made right here in Kenosha back in the day. This is the original numbers matching 273 that he said is not just a Commando like the air cleaner says, it is apparently a Super Commando. I don't know if that makes a difference to anyone, but I will be glad to look for numbers if anyone would like. This car was used by him as a daily driver right here in Kenosha to get back and forth to work. This Barracuda runs, drives, and stops well, although it does need some exhaust work. I used to see it around town until I made the purchase, and I was told it is very reliable. Since this was his everyday car he always kept it mechanically in tip top condition. I only drove it home from across town, but it did run nice for me. This is an original bucket seat and console car with the 150 mph speedometer, and the middle gauge is what seems to be a tachometer. It says performance indicator, but it revs with the engine. There are new blue floor mats to match the blue carpet. The original AM radio is in the dash, but I don't think the speaker is hooked up. I believe the original color to be B5 blue making this a very rare and desirable color combination. I showed the decal of when this Barracuda attended the Mopar Nationals back in 2003. If anyone wants to figure out the data plate information, I will post it for everyone to see. Yes, This Barracuda does need a full restoration, but I know when a car like this is restored it will be worth a crazy amount of money. The Mopar Performance Hotline number is at the top of the center of the windshield. I left it there because I believe that number will be very useful for whatever lucky winning bidder ends up buying this convertible, so they have easy access to help whenever needed. I don't have a key for the new trunk lid that was put on by the last owner, so I took a picture from the well of the back seat. I see a full size matching B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A spare tire, and it looks like the original jack is still in place along the inside of the right rear quarter panel. I also see what appears to be the original front license plate frame in good condition. Opening the trunk will be left up to the new owner. The trunk lid, and the chrome on the rear of the lid look very nice. The last owner said that chrome piece is very expensive and hard to find, so I was lucky to have such a nice piece. Other than the trunk lid, I believe all the panels to be original to the car, and the interior is really in pretty nice shape. Mostly all of the trim is still in place, and the bumpers are straight, but could use a re-chrome. They do have the extra bumper guard option. This convertible has power steering, power brakes, and the power top works well. The back plastic window is not yellowed, and is nice and clear. There is a set of four raised white lettered B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's with nice tread, and the original set of four hubcaps that came on the car when it was new. The Nada Classic Car price Guide has the 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible valued at $35,280 in high condition, $23,280 in average condition, and $9,960 in the lowest condition, meaning a car like this that would be in need of a full restoration, except this car has the nice original interior, and it came in one of the most valuable color combinations available in my eyes. These classic muscle car convertibles have shown to consistently appreciate in value with each quarter. Here is an incredible opportunity to own an extremely rare Barracuda convertible at a nominal investment. I'm pretty sure that all of the parts needed to bring this car back to its former glory are available through a wide variety of aftermarket Mopar suppliers. Please ask as many questions as you like, and they will be answered in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. This is a quick 3-day "No Reserve" auction, so this cool old droptop will sell to the highest bidder on Sunday evening. Thank you for taking the time to view my auction. Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!
On Jul-18-13 at 20:50:57 PDT, seller added the following information:
I just found out that there were 62,534 Barracuda's made in 1967. 30,110 were the fastback model, and 28,196 were the coupe model. Only 4,228 Barracuda convertible's were made 46 years ago, so that would explain why there aren't many left. It would be very hard to find one with all the original equipment! Especially in this color combination!!

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own
Wed, 19 Dec 2012Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
'Blood Muscle' auction to sell impressive collection of ill-begotten classic cars
Wed, 30 Jul 2014The old saying goes that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. But being a criminal can involve more than just taking a trip to the big house; it can also mean losing possessions purchased from any ill-gotten gains. Still, one man's loss is another's gain, and if you're in Lodi, NJ, on September 12, you stand the chance to buy some of the ultimate muscle cars from the US Marshals in what is being gruesomely nicknamed the Blood Muscle auction.
The grisly moniker was earned because all of the vehicles belonged to the president of a blood testing company who is facing prison time for alleged bribery, according to Hemmings. After all, they are muscle cars bought with actual blood money. The seven-vehicle collection includes some of the ultimate muscle cars ever made, and the original buyer clearly had an eye for rarity.
This cornucopia of V8 power includes a teal 1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang, an orange 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible and perhaps most prized of all - a trio of 1969 Yenko Chevys with a Chevelle, Nova and Camaro all represented. From the included photos, all of them look to be in fantastic condition.
'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]
Mon, 16 Jun 2014
We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.
