1967 Plymouth Barracuda

60's muscle car from Plymouth. This is an A body Chrysler. so about the same size as an Aussie Charger. and very similar. except it is left hand drive. with a big sloping rear screen. pillarless doors and a large boot. In addition these cars had a fold down partition between the boot and the rear seat. and a fold down rear seat. making them extremely flexible and good for long loads. Try doing that with a Mustang or Camaro. In roughly the same class as the two cars just mentioned. except these cars were available with everything from a straight six (Chrysler slantie). to fire breathing 340's. big blocks. or even six hundred horsepower 426 Hemi engines (if you bought a drag pack version). Going by the code. this car was originally a slant six. but is thought to have had a v8 at some stage. It was bought to turn into a super stock clone (426 hemi. actually using a 572cui). but didn't make it past planning stage. and so it still has it's rare front bucket seats. centre shift console. and power steering. All unusual in these early cars. especially without a factory v8. The running gear is much the same as an era Aussie Chrysler. and most suspension and brake parts are interchangeable. Of course you can fit whatever the hell running gear (Chrysler. or aftermarket performance) you want. The body is surprisingly sound. with only minimal surface rust. except for a small hole in what appears to be a replacement right front guard (passenger side). and a small rust hole in either end of the plenum chamber(easily accessible with front guards bolted off ).   The carpets were rotted and were removed to prevent further damage to the floors which have surface rust in some areas but no holes. The paint and interior both need complete restoration. as does the running gear. but parts. and interior trim are readily available and cheap in the states. currently there is no motor that comes with the car. Wheels are steel. with ultra rare pressed factory hubcaps in good condition. There are a pair of original era Cragar ss wheels I am prepared to do a deal on with the car at the right price. These are a simple car to restore. and a great muscle car to cruise in. as potent as you want to make it. A great opportunity to get your hands on one of these rare muscle coupes. they are rapidly disappearing in the states. and to the best of my knowledge there are only somewhere between 6 and 10 of them here. Not to be confused with later E body Cudas that are much more numerous. these are lighter and smaller (more performance). and apparently an A body slant six will more than keep up with a 340 E body. Although there are a number of these that get advertised here for sale. they are all either in the states. and you will have to buy sight unseen ( how much do you trust what the seller tells you about condition?)and pay all shipping. duty. costs etc. usually close to an extra ten grand. plus. plus. plus. or I have tried to chase down the couple of ads that look Australian. to find they are in tiny out of the way towns. many hundreds of km from any city. and the address given will not come up on google. You make up your mind. I have always preferred to bang on the sheetmetal of anything I'm buying. You can do that with this car and you will know exactly what you are buying before money changes hands. You are bidding to buy. if you do not have the cash please save all of us the trouble and do not bid. All bids are final. the car is described as accurately as I can. if you want more detailed information. message me. I am happy to send extra photo's. Car has import paperwork.
 Good luck bidding.
