In the mid-sixties many automobile manufactures were looking at new ideas in the personal and specialty car segments. The Plymouth Division was slow to enter this untapped market for a bigger than the, pony car size. The designers were given an outline and sent back to their studios. And when they showed up at the boardroom with this profile, approval was granted right away. Fastback styling, low and wide looking. Perfect. It was reported that they now could take on the other Detroit boys. This is what the marketing people were looking for. The size in now known as the E size and it wasn't long before they hit the show rooms. They gained popularity fast. All kinds of fancy colors and many options. Big engines. Lightweight materials, delete categories and so forth. Orders came in from all over the country. Before long they appeared on the race car circuits and the saying held true. What won on Sundays sold on Mondays.

This is a factory correct Barracuda that is fun to drive as it is hot looking. Take a good look at the pictures. Lines are crisp and tight.
