Up for sale is a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda that looks good and is located in balmy, Redondo Beach, California. This Plymouth project car is ready to go to a new home for a respectable $6,500. There is no VIN listed and no miles documented either. Thankfully, the title is listed as clean. Thank you, local_sheriff, for the tip. You can find it here on craigslist.
The numbers listed for what resides under the hood are these; a 340 cubic-inch V8 connected to a 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The reason it only resides and not lives is that sadly, the listing states that the transmission is in need of work. It more than likely does run and as you can see in the photo, it appears to be in good condition. Looks can be deceiving though, especially when it comes to engines and transmissions.
You can see in the photos of the interior that everything appears to be in place. It looks like it has some aftermarket gauges in the bottom left of the dashboard. There are not up-close photos of anything and no descriptions. Above your head, the headliner is all sticking as it should. It does look like the seats have been redone at some point. Those of you who are MOPAR experts can tell us if the colors are correct or what may be inaccurate about this listing and photos.
A listing like this is second nature as we all know. The vague, non-descriptive information and somewhat helpful photos, always make things difficult, but thankfully the price is not high enough to make you stay completely away. It might be worth going to see it in person and speak to the seller to get a better idea about it and gauge what to do with it. It is located in one of the largest car enthusiasts populated areas in the world, so one way or another this car will move. While it might not go to one of those enthusiasts, it may go to someone less knowledgeable, but someone will eventually take this car home.
