VERY NICE, #'S MATCH 340 V8, 727 AUTO, BUILD SHEET, CERTICARD, PWR STEER, DISCS!

Plymouth entered the pony car wars in the late 60's with its own unique fastback style making this early 'Cuda a dramatic and uncommon alternative to Mustangs and Camaros. With a numbers-matching 340 V8, erious performance rebuild, actory-correct colors, nd a first-rate restoration, his relatively rare and highly documented 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S is a fantastic choice if you're the kind who likes to color a bit outside the lines.The factory PP1 Matador Red paint looks fantastic on this restored vehicle. It's hard to believe work was done about 18 years ago, ecause it sill appears first-rate today having been under the same caring ownership that has only put 12,772 miles on the car since its complete restoration. So, he red looks good simply because the foundation is obviously very solid and straight. There are very few reproduction parts out there for these cars, o you know how nice and rare it is to see first-class workmanship on this iconic fastback style. Panel gaps are excellent, hich means the doors close with the unique classic Chrysler authority. For those few who know their Barracuda coupes, his one does not disappoint. It has the right features such as the aggressive full-length Formula S triple stripe, 40 callouts on the hood trim, nd even the retro cool appearance of the standard Plymouth hubcaps with the logo in a wheel/body matching red.The Barracuda had a true sporty design, nd this black interior shows it off perfectly. The bucket seats, oor panels, nd carpets all feel fresh, ark, nd factory-correct. Your left hand goes on the factory wheel with a barracuda on the center cap, nd your right one rests on the chrome shift lever. As you look across the dashboard, he sea of black is artfully broken up by plenty of stainless and chrome that's on everything from the heat/defrost controls, o the original AM radio, o the center console...it's truly '60s. But then you begin to spot a few nice upgrades. Hidden below the dash is a modern AM/FM/CD stereo that gives you modern music without ruining the vintage atmosphere. Plus, he lager tach mounted on the upper ceiling/windshield tells you there is something special going on in the engine bay.This numbers-matching 340 cubic-inch V8 under the hood is quite special. It was introduced in '68 to combine high-performance and lightweight. This motor takes that spirit and turns up the power. Beneath the very stock appearance, he V8 was rebuilt during the restoration (less than 13K miles ago) to include a bored .30 over kit, alanced TRW forged pistons (10.5:1 compression), opar Performance Cam with .455 lift, omp Cams pushrods, oller rockers, orted and polished heads, Holley four-barrel carburetor, nd more. It even has hardened valve seats to run excellent on modern unleaded fuel. This full power package fires up nicely and makes all the right intimidating sounds out of the dual exhaust. The V8 is mated to a TorqueFlite 727 three-speed that sends power to the highway-friendly 3.23 rear end. Add that to the heavy duty suspension from the Formula S package, ront disc brakes, nd power steering, nd this is the classic performance car that feels better going down the road than just about any other pony car of its era.More than just thoroughly invested and cared for, his Barracuda comes with some serious documentation, ncluding the factory buildsheet, wner's manual, nd Chrysler exclusive Certicard documenting the first owner. Even with the popular fastback styling, here were only about 22,500 produced that year. To find another one this well restored and ready to run will be near impossible. Don't miss out!!
