Furious Fish – ’68 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S 383 Chews Up Other Pony Cars!

Vintage Mustangs and Classic Camaros are cool, no doubt, but there were millions of them. If you’re looking for a 60’s-era muscle car that you wont see at every event, how about this fantastic 1968 Plymouth Barracuda? This rare car is one of only 395 Fastback Automatic 383 Formula S Barracudas ever made! And you know the Barracuda was the original pony car, right? They could be purchased two weeks before the Mustang, yet they never made the same splash, despite their performance.

What folks didn’t understand in the 60’s that we do today is that the ’68 Barracuda Formula S is one mean fish. This particular car is finished in the correct original Bronze Metallic with black side stripes, and its original black interior in remarkable condition. Console, floor shift and fold down rear seat make the Barracuda a desirable pony car. The body is straight and streamlined, smooth-skinned to slip through the air. The 383ci big block puts angry power to the ground through a factory three speed automatic. Wanna “fishtail” a little? Grab the wheel and mash the pedal!

Look through our pictures and you’ll see how fine this car is, inside and out, up front and out back. Call Art & Speed at (901) 850-0507 today. You really don’t want this to be the one that got away. Financing available.
