Plymouth Barracuda



A nice '64-'66 Barracuda seen in my travels in eastern Ontario.  I don't know enough about them to know exactly which year this one is but it's nice to see this survivor.  About 125,000 were built over the 3 year period.

I briefly owned one of those in the seventies: 283, 4-speed, jacked in back and painted black. Funny, I remember it as being much, much uglier than this speciment. My recollection, though, could be tainted by the aching memory of what an awful automobile it was.

I remember one in my 'hood back in the day... orangey-red, jacked up (weren't they all?) Cragars, I really liked the look of the car.

'64-'66, IIRC.

Anybody else remember the Hurst Hemi Under Glass?

An aunt of mine had one, it had a manifold vacuum gauge among the clocks.
I was 10, and in awe of what I imagined to be the driving skills required to
monitor and react to the flicking needle (for a while...).

Probably more so! They said the same thing about the Chrysler Airflow! You’d think they’d learn..
