The
Plymouth Barracuda is a 2-door car that was manufactured by the
Plymouth division of the
Chrysler Corporation from 1964-1974.
The first-generation Barracuda, a
fastback A-body coupe based on the
Plymouth Valiant, had a distinctive wraparound back glass and was available from 1964-1966.
The second-generation 1967-1969 Barracuda, though still Valiant-based, was heavily redesigned. Second-generation A-body cars were available in fastback,
notchback, and
convertible versions.
The 1970-1974
E-body Barracuda, no longer Valiant-based, was available as a coupe and a convertible, both of which were very different from the previous models.The Barracuda was launched in 1964 but it took more than six years to gain recognition and become popular. In the year 1970, the muscle car became very popular when it came with a 7.2 litre engine which had a power producing capacity of 390 bhp. The car was also introduced in another version where it came with a 7.0 litre Hemi Block and had the capacity to produce 425 bhp. This car was very popular for difficult handling in spite of a revamped suspension.
