It goes without saying that this isn’t the best choice for those who really care about Barracuda’s performance, but it fits its function admirably. Barracuda is more or less a good-looking grocer with this 225, and for many consumers, this makes perfect sense.
According to preliminary estimates, Plymouth has produced about 46,000 Barracuda units for this model this year, with nearly 29,000 units equipped with V8 engines. The rest of them are powered by six-cylinder engines, so finding one now shouldn’t be too difficult. One of these 1968 six-cylinder Barracudas is right here, looking for a new home after being put into long-term storage in 1990.
According to the eBay seller’s drivelineworks, the car was abandoned after the owners split, and after more than three decades of existence, it’s still in simple repairable condition. Unsurprisingly, as rust has seeped into the metal, the trunk and floor seem to need a lot of repair. A repaint is also needed, although the seller insists that the bodywork is completely original, with no alterations or repaints.
The six-cylinder engine under the hood may have left some buyers unsatisfied, but while this Barracuda isn’t Formula S, it could easily qualify for a refit if available. another large displacement unit. Cars manages to test all the criteria for such a project, but the biggest stumbling block seems to be the asking price. Owners plan to receive no more than $8,500 for their project, and considering this is a pretty ambitious estimate, it’s not surprising that listings will likely expire without anyone willing to spend so much.
