1965 Plymouth Barracuda Description

Up for sale is my 1965 Plymouth Barracuda. I bought this car when I was 16 and have owned it for almost 15 years. and have done an extensive amount of work to it.

I have removed certain components that were not in-use when I went through and cleaned-up the motor area and under the dash. Most were removed from the firewall or the interior under the dash (e.g. heater fan, heater core, etc…). I did this in order to really clean under the dash when the new wiring harness was installed. I have all of these parts in boxes and will be included them with the sale. Pictures of all original parts have been posted and ALL parts will be included with final sale.

The car was just gone through completely by one of the best shops in my area, Pacific Carburetor of Ventura, CA. They professionally dialed-in the ignition and air-fuel system. Fire's right up. The odomoter reading reflects miles driven since the car was most recently upgraded however the engine/transmission have less than 1000 miles on their rebuilds.

The car has had the following done to it:

  • Engine: 273 ci. V8 - Professionally rebuilt in Los Angeles, less than 1000 miles.
  • Transmission: Torqueflite 904 – Professionally rebuilt by Aamco in San Luis Obispo, less than 1000 miles.
