The Plymouth Barracuda, introduced in 1964, was a pioneer in the American muscle car scene. It was
often overshadowed by its contemporaries like the Ford Mustang, but it had the unique distinction of
being one of the first pony cars to hit the market, debuting just a few weeks before the Mustang. The
65 Barracuda's fold-down rear seats and large rear window made it a versatile and practical sports car.
The Barracuda nameplate was initially associated with a performance-oriented version of the Valiant,
but by 1965, it became a separate model line. Over the years, Barracudas gained popularity, and the
Formula S package showcased its potential as a formidable sports car that combined style, power, and
handling in a sleek package, making it a true classic in automotive history. Please call or email with any
