Used Plymouth Barracuda for Sale near Columbia, MO

Before I bought this car I was looking for an early 70's Le mans that was drivable, but that was original or close enough to original that I could work on it and make it my own. This is when I stumbled across this 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback for sale. I had always liked the style of MOPARS, especially the mid to late 60's, so I went to check it out. After forty odd years it understandably needed some work, but surprisingly the only thing I had to do to get the car running was put a new battery in it and it started right up. Everything from the wipers and horn to the brakes and the lights worked right off the bat. I still went through and replaced belts and other odds and ends as well as the master cylinder but it runs beautifully with under 2500 bucks in it. Considering performance, I didn't buy this with the intention of having a drag car or a track car so it doesn't post quick lap times and it's not a 10 second car. That being said I'm going to swap the 273 V8 that's in there now with a 440 and replace the 3 spd automatic with a 5 speed manual with an overdrive. Even then this is just my daily driver. Rain or shine this thing sees the road and after seven months of driving it has been incredibly reliable. Because of this I rate the build quality very high. Having to replace a few parts after 43 years isn't bad at all. Appearance wise this is one of my favorite cars of all time. Every detail of this car is done perfectly and I couldn't think of anything I'd want to change. I'm going to repaint this winter so that ought to sharpen it up a bit as well. My last vehicle was a 2003 Sierra 2500 so the gas mileage in the Barracuda is an improvement. It's certainly not a hybrid, but it's not a gas guzzler either. Since getting the car up to driving standards in the summer, I haven't had to buy a single replacement part. Just put gas in an it's ready to go. Even in the cold Indiana weather I've had so far this car fires right up. Lastly the fun factor. This car drives like an absolute dream. This car also turns heads every where I drive it, even in its rough condition. Aside from that, this car is a breath of fresh air from every mustang, camaro, and corvette you see at car shows or on the road. I've only seen a handful of road worthy Barracuda's around my area so it gives me that extra sense of pride knowing that this car is unique. I would be hard pressed to think of any other car, regardless of price, that I would rather be driving.

My 1968 340 Formula S Barracuda was and still is my all time favorite car. The 340 was as comfortable at a 1/4 mile drag strip as it was screaming down the freeway. The bullet proof 727 Torqueflite was backed by a 3:23 Sure Grip 8 3/4 rear end. The car had front disk brakes and the Formula S suspension package. The badging was phenomenal. If I ever decide to buy another muscle car this will be it!

'71 'Cuda, 440-6 (6 BBL) 4-speed, Dana 3:54, Hemi Orange, Black Interior, 440 Billboard stripes, Urethane Bumpers, 15X7 Rallye Wheels, Shaker Hood, Front and Rear Spoilers, Factory Rear Window Louvers, I restored the car in 1983, won best 'Cuda at the Mopar Nats, 1983.

I owned a 1972 'cuda340. The 340 cubic inch engine was the largest of the small block engines offered (the 360 was not a factory plant in this car) before getting into the massive big blocks (383 Magnum, 426 Hemi, or the 440). Mopars were usually a little heavier than Fords or GM's, but their horsepower often made up for it. Very classic and aggressive look with a wide variety of fun options to be had. I'd kill to have this car back! Then again, I'd kill for a burrito and a soda....

This was by far one of the best cars I have ever had a the pleasure of owning and driving. I can't wait to rebuild another some day. This was my first car so I didn't have much say in what happened to it...it was sold before I had a chance to portest against my parents decision.
