"1967 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Fastback�
Plymouth marketing took aim squarely at the Summer of Love crowd with their young couple filled sales brochure for the 1967 Barracuda.� Seductive stares, embraced lovers, big smiles, and of course, the requisite cool musician dude.� The message was, the Barracuda will be for the hip, carefree crowd and you will have good times with this versatile car.� It's quite a piece of literature but then, it's quite a car.��
For consignment, a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S Fastback with a title verified 45,802 actual miles.� As the sales brochure says, it's a three car car.� A four passenger hardtop with the rear seats folded down, a two passenger sport coupe.� Unlatch the security panel and it becomes a shooting brake.� ""The look is strictly from Italian GT"" they boldly claim and from wherever the inspiration came, it's a unique car that's been turning heads for 57 years.�
Exterior
Uniqueness begins at the grille with our Ruby Red Metallic Barracuda, which is really two grilles that mirror each other and point to the middle where the nose forms an hourglass shape.� Inset in the grilles are single round headlights and marker lights all underscored by a straight chrome bumper, all in great shape.� Slight power bulges on the hood are topped with faux vents and headed by the first of several Barracuda emblems on the nose.� Another appears on the front fender along with the name in script and while we're at the side, let's note the fantastic profile of the fastback, the roof widening slightly at the rain guard as it pinches between the window and C-pillar.� The rear window curves and slopes to a short rear section while a razor straight shoulder line delineates the rounded top from the fish-like body. 14-inch Cragars fit the car well and the rear view with the full aluminum band into C-shaped tail lights is, for lack of a better word, epic!� Now that we've swooned over the design, we're obligated to note some fish flaws.� Multiple areas of bubbling in the paint, some significant bubbling in the door jamb with some visible rust in the jamb corner, various scratches and scuffs, rust on the inner decklid, top side of the right rear fender, parts of the roof, and peeling paint above the aforementioned aluminum band.��
Interior
Black patterned vinyl door cards are augmented by a faux burl wood panel and are in decent condition.� Low back black vinyl pleated bucket seats occupy the front and present well with robust foam inserts, while the rear bench shows a bit of wear, particularly around the piping.� The black plastic steering wheel with metal horn ring is in good shape with just a bit of pitting on the collar.� Three gauges appear before the driver split by more faux wood and aluminum and include the ""Performance Indicator"" which is a vacuum gauge.� Simple vent controls and an AM radio are found towards the center and an aftermarket gas gauge has been added under the dash.� A contoured center console retains the shifter, a slightly curved stick with a thumb activated top knob, and a flat topped storage bin.� Black loop carpet covers the floor and a black stitched headliner, and visors rise above the occupant and it all appears in good condition.�
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a clean driver condition and rebuilt 273ci V8 rated at 235 horsepower.� It's fed by a new Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and moved to action by an A904 3-speed automatic transmission.� Power heads to the 8 3/4"" rear and 3.91 gears with Sure-Grip. �Drum brakes are at each of the four wheels.�
Undercarriage
Clean, driver quality underneath with typical surface rust, hints of oil on the flywheel cover and rear differential, and dual exhaust that intersect stock style mufflers before exiting in the rear via straight pipes.� Torsion bars suspension is found in the front and the back is equipped with leaf springs.� We do note some invasive rust on a floor board where some patchwork has been done, and a bit on the frame rail as well. �Our consignor states the gas tank and sending unit are new.�
Drive-Ability
Time to take this fish for a swim, or at least a lap around the pool and in this case is our test loop.� She fired right up and into Drive we went.� Barracudas are fast fish, and the car also has some decent acceleration and with slightly beefed up suspension in the Formula S, handles well.� Visibility, of course, is great and braking is adequate.�� All the bells and whistles work and we reel this quick fish back to the mothership.�
There is plenty of innuendo and implied outcomes in the 1967 sales brochure for the Barracuda.� Today, it's a classic that may or may not yield the same benefits as portrayed back in the day, but you'll sure have fun trying in a car with a unique and special design, a fastback for the ages!� Jump in, the water's fine!�
