The highlight of the 1965 model year for Barracuda fans was the introduction of the Formula S package. While it made the car more expensive, the Formula S was exactly what the doctor ordered for people interested in more performance.
The package included the Commando V8 engine, upgraded suspension, special wheels and tires, and a factory tachometer.
Plymouth also operated several changes on the "standard" Barracuda, with the 170 six-cylinder engine waving goodbye to make room for the all-new 225 Slant Six. The six-cylinder engine now carried a price of $2,453, while the V8-powered Barracuda cost $2,535 in the standard configuration.
Total Barracuda production for this model year included 64,596 units, and most rolled off the assembly lines with a 273 two-barrel engine under the hood. The second most popular choice was the 225 six-cylinder unit, which accounted for 16,398 units. Formula S production numbers are not available.
The Barracuda in these photos landed on eBay earlier this week to look for a new home, though convincing someone to give it another chance won't be easy. The car looks dirty and moldy, and seller dwaynsim_0 explains that it's been sitting for three years. I've seen cars sitting for decades looking better than this Barracuda, but we'll have to take this claim for granted for now. You should inspect the car in person, especially as it comes with few specifics about its condition.
The Barracuda still has an engine under the hood, but it's impossible to decrypt more information about it by inspecting the photo gallery. The owner didn't share any specifics, so it's safe to assume it no longer starts and runs.
The interior looks challenging, too, with the seats exhibiting a condition likely beyond recovery. The live inspection should help you take a closer look at the cabin, too, and this is highly recommended, especially because it's unclear how complete the car continues to be. The seller says the vehicle is still all original.
I don't have a magic ball to predict the future, but I wouldn't be surprised if this Barracuda fails to find a new owner this time. The car landed on eBay with a reserve, and the digital fight begins at $900. However, considering a reserve is also in place, the owner expects to get more than this for their car, so Internet bidders will have to fight against each other to take it home.
Meanwhile, the Barracuda is waiting for the auction's end in Stanardsville, Virginia, and you'll need a trailer to take it home. The owner says the car sells without a title. The auction will end in approximately four days, so it'll be interesting to see if someone sends the winning bid to unlock the reserve and give this Barracuda a chance to survive.
