1972 Plymouth Barracuda

Description
1972 Plymouth Barracuda
VIN: BS23H2B808049
This '72 Barracuda hosts a powerful 440ci V8, cammed for torque, and geared to launch off the line. The overall condition is tight and era specific. The car is in very good shape, and you’ll get ample praise for owning this vintage muscle beauty. The interior has been disassembled, cleaned and buffed up, with any haggard/missing parts replaced. Interior and exterior sections, where needed, were freshly pained within the last year. This classic beauty has been garaged and covered each and every day since I’ve owned it. The custom fitted car cover is included. Historical plates on the car allow for travel to local shows, parades, or to the mechanic’s shop only.

Personal Note
The first car that I ever owned was a 1971 Barracuda, auto 318 w/air. It was a good looker as muscle cars go back in the late 70’s, but it really had no power. I sold it for $500 when I went into the Peace Corps in the early ‘80s and never saw it again. I purchased this car six years ago to have some fun at local shows. With some work, this car has caught more attention with every year that has passed, and there’s no absolutely doubt that it has balls! It is intact, just the way that it would have been back in the 70’s, and shows extremely well.

There’s not a time that I take it out that I don’t see awe, and receive encouragement. It is just a very cool car that doesn’t get out enough these days. So, I could let is sit covered in the garage for another decade as the value escalates, or I can release this big bad fish for someone else to have some fun. Are you the angler that can catch it? I’m in no way strapped for cash, so however it plays out is fine by me.
