1968 Plymouth Barracuda - VIN: BH23F8B239722 - Offered Without Reserve - Perfect contender for a muscle car project | Accompanied by an array of extra parts | Iconic muscle car of the late ‘60sManufactured from 1964 to 1974, Plymouth unleashed their first-generation Barracuda upon the muscle car market and made quite the statement. The two-door hardtop fastback shared many parts and styling cues from the Plymouth Valiant but featured a massive and very recognizable wraparound rear glass back window. Even with the success of the all-new rear-wheel drive muscle car, the second-generation Barracuda was heavily redesigned and built from 1967 to 1969. For the 1968 year, Plymouth wanted to up the ante of the muscle car craze and introduced the legendary Road Runner, and the two would prove to be a dynamic duo in the muscle car market. The second-generation Barracuda might have only lasted for three years, but its memorable and iconic run blazed the way for the rise of the third gen Barracudas of the 1970s, which are regarded as some of the most sought-after muscle cars.

While this example does not currently run, it is certainly close to it and proves to be a prime contender and start of what could be an amazing muscle car project. The bodywork on the car has already been stripped, primed, and painted a classic muscle car blue, and it sits on U.S. chrome rims and like-new Grand Prix Performance GT tires. The car is missing the front and rear windshield, but the doors have their roll-up glass windows in them. Under the hood is where this build gets really interesting and will help bring in a crowd from more than just its aggressive looks. An impressive V-8 engine with a large Edelbrock air cleaner and chrome Mopar valve covers were fitted under the hood. Clean and presented nicely, it also has a Champion Cooling radiator and fan attached to the engine.

The interior is about halfway complete, with front and passenger bucket seats and a rear bench seat. The dashboard seems to be complete with its original AM/FM radio and air-conditioning system. The back seat and trunk of the car are filled with many of the parts that are not currently fitted to the car, as well as some extra parts for the car. Perfect contender for a muscle car project to make roadworthy once again, this early production Plymouth Barracuda can be a fun car to enjoy.
