Plymouth was ready for a new Barracuda lineup refresh in 1966, with the new model year introducing significant styling changes outside and inside.
Ne emblems, bumpers, and grilles contributed to a sportier stance, while the cabin was overhauled with updated gauges and a center console. The Barracuda looked like a new car but felt like an old one, as the engine department didn't get any updates.
The base model was still powered by a 225 slant-six unit rated at 145 horsepower, while the V8 lineup included two 273 versions with 180 and 235 horsepower.
The 1966 Barracuda in these pics believes it still deserves a chance to return to the road despite spending years in what looks like a junkyard. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to determine that this Barracuda's only chance is a complete overhaul, as it shouldn't by any means be considered road-worthy.
I won't comment much on what the eyes can see because eBay seller octanevalley highlights the essential parts in the shared pics, but you must know that the floors are clean. This is surprising news, especially if the Barracuda spent years in the same place and without a roof over its head.
However, it doesn't mean the buyer won't have to do any metalwork. The rear lower quarters require attention, but the owner says regular patches would do it.
The front seats are missing, but the Barracuda has everything else, with many parts that you can't see in the photos currently stored in the trunk.
The engine under the hood is a slant-six unit, but it's safe to assume it no longer starts and runs. We know nothing about it, but the VIN code (BP29B62500141) decodes to a six-cylinder Barracuda. With a little luck, this could be the original engine, and it still has some life left in it, making a potential restoration project easier.
At first glance, it doesn't look like investing in this Barracuda is worth the money and work if the plan is a restoration to factory specifications. If the engine works, it could become a restomod or be used for a different project.
The owner believes $3,250 is a fair price, considering the car's shape, but the Make Offer option is also live, allowing interested buyers to submit other offers. I don't believe the price will go down significantly, though, so you'll probably be able to get this Barracuda for $3,000 if the seller doesn't find another buyer willing to pay more.
Meanwhile, eBay's statistics indicate that 10 people are already watching the listing, but it's unknown if someone is involved in acquisition talks. You can see this Barracuda in person in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and you'll need transportation to take it home.
