Here for sale is a rare Plymouth Barracuda Fastback. Currently owned for the past four years. I have never come across another Fastback Barracuda at any of the car shows I have been at. <br />
<br />
This car was most recently shown at Brands Hatch American Speedfest 2016 where there were over 2000 American cars. This was the only second generation "Cuda there. I have been reliably told that only a few hundred of these are left in existence in the States. Only 30,000 were ever made. However parts are still relatively easy to come by. <br />
<br />
As this car is a such a rarity you will get a lot of attention both driving around and at car shows. The sound of this car makes is true American muscle and you will be asked questions about this car whenever you stop. <br />
<br />
This car has had extensive upgrades during my ownership. All the parts I have fitted are top of the range and no expense has been spared on the work I have concluded.<br />

This car was bought new in 1967 by an RAF wing commander working in the USA on secondment with the US Air Force. In 1969 he brought the car back to the UK where it has lived ever since. I have a pretty extensive history file with pictures showing the car in different colours over the years including bills for work/parts carried out during my ownership.<br />
<br />
This is a genuinely very regretful sale. The money I have spent on this car is an indicator that I did not plan to sell, however my house need"s are more pressing at this time<br />
<br />
During my ownership I have only ever run this car on premium 97 octane Esso, Shell or BP unleaded fuel. This car is a great runner and I drive it whenever the sun is out. <br />
