Convertible A-body Mopars are always a treat to find—especially when they’re as well-documented and solid as this one. Up for sale here on craigslist in Everett, Washington is a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible in stunning triple blue (blue paint, interior, and top). It’s said to be one of just 4,228 convertibles built that year and includes rare original documentation like the window sticker, two build sheets, the fender tag, and cert card. A well-preserved and lightly updated survivor, this Barracuda wears a clean title and is ready for its next caretaker. Thanks for the tip Curvette!
The seller notes that the paint is in great condition and rust is minimal, just some small areas low on the rear quarters. The underbody and floors are solid, and all original sheet metal appears to be intact. Photos show a nicely maintained exterior with fresh Firestone radial redline tires mounted on restored rally wheels. The car retains its original convertible top and seat covers, both showing well given their age.
Under the hood is a 225ci Slant Six upgraded with a “Super Six” two-barrel carburetor setup. Though the engine hasn’t been rebuilt, it’s had extensive servicing, including a new electronic ignition, coil, fuel pump, spark plug wires, water pump, and an aluminum radiator. The original radiator is included as well. The seller also replaced the heater core and fuel sending unit, and the fuel gauge and fan now work properly. A rear bumper swap has been completed, and the original part comes with the car.
The Barracuda is equipped with a 3-speed manual transmission. The seller mentions that reverse can be tricky to engage and recommends trailering the car home before putting serious road miles on it. It’s still running its original-style manual brakes and steering, both of which require some muscle to operate, true to the era. A new clutch kit and additional parts are included in the trunk, and the rear end has reportedly been serviced by the prior owner.
Inside, the triple blue color theme continues, and though the interior isn’t fully restored, it’s original and presentable. Most of the glass is factory original as well, with only the windshield having been replaced. This Barracuda is described as a lifelong Northwest car and comes with a collection of service receipts.
With a rare triple blue combination, solid sheet metal, original documentation, and tasteful upgrades, this 1967 Barracuda Convertible looks like a great starting point for a light restoration or vintage cruiser.
The back of my legs blistered just looking at the pics of those dark blue vinyl seats. The ‘tricky reverse’ issue is all the excuse I’d need to convert to floor shift.
Not a $20k car unless it’s a 273/4bbl/4spd or better yet 68′-69′ 340. $10k-$15k at best but, still nice. Just bought a 67′ Dart Conv. 6cyl/auto just as nice $13k. Now 408/727/3.55 psi car. Totaling $28k and loving it. Nice Cuda.
It is a shame to see a slant 6 in such a nice car . No doubt it will hurt the sales price as usual .
Actually no….my buddy who acted in Ford vrs Ferrari collects and loves a slant 6 with 3 on the tree….he has many in different body styles….
The interior looks good except for the carpet. It hasn’t been installed, it’s just there.
The issue with reverse will be the linkage binding somewhere.
I like the bac-a-ruda but despite it being a convertible, it seems overpriced for what it is.
A nice looking car with an easy to enjoy drivetrain. Super easy to service. Even fixing the “tricky” reverse should be a breeze. Asking $21,850.00 Not sure if it will get there …
Fun cruiser, great colors, a little pricey for a slant 6.
My brother in law had a 67 Barracuda Formula S with a modified 383 and it was a beast.
People have mentioned it seems to be priced high, but I don’t see a price mentioned anywhere.
Click on the red highlighted hyperlink “here on craigslist” in the description. It will take you to the sellers for sale posting. Cool car, I’d fix the linkage and drive it, slant 6 and all! I’d also look into dying the carpet to a darker blue, or if it’s in bad shape, replace it. Pretty ambitious price in my opinion, but how many are left?
I like it just because it’s a stick shift, and on the column. Kind of odd, and the slant six is a great engine. A V8 would be nice, but…..
You have to click on the Craigslist link in the write up to see the price. It’s $21,850.

If I purchased it, I would find a 4 speed OD unit from an Aspen/Volare and change the rear gear from the 2.92 to a 3.91, upgrade the brakes and suspension and drive it. I agree, the light blue carpet is out of place!
The slant six is just fine coupled with a,decent rear gear.
First thing for the new buyer; fixing the parking brake!
(And get rid of the 2X4s under the rear wheels.)
I would love this car, but at a third the price. What a nice little cruiser. A slant six is perfect for a pleasant drive on a pleasant day.
Not a convertible guy at all but the 67′-69′ Barracudas are my favorite years for these. Looks like a really nice, mostly original NW car with lots of great original documentation. Love the slant 6 engines but I gotta agree I think it’s priced a bit out of it’s ballpark.
As an owner of the lower production 1969 Cuda converts – yes the price is on the high side but consider it’s papers – it’s condition and it’s good looks .
In 68 I bought the coupe version with a Slant 6 and 3 on the tree…. never had a mechanical problem in 100,000 miles….
