The first thing that comes to everybody's mind when talking about the 1969 Barracuda is certainly the 'Cuda. This was the year when a new legend was born, being offered by Plymouth based on the Formula S. The 'Cuda could be had with multiple engine options, but the top unit was the one that caught everybody's attention: the 440 Super Commanda V8.
The Barracuda was still a compelling presence. The 1967 refresh continued to gain traction, with Plymouth refining the engine lineup with every new model year release.
The 383 started with 280 horsepower on the 1967 Barracuda before increasing to 300 horsepower and eventually to 330 horsepower in 1969.
The Barracuda in these photos is something else.
The car, which the owner says is incredibly rare, with only 156 made – I wish they shared more information about what makes it rare, as I couldn't find any numbers to support this claim, so make sure you ask more questions if you're interested in the car – hides massive power under the hood.
eBay seller sassanorious says their father raced this Barracuda in the '70s and the '80s, so the car got a 366 engine with Mopar cams, a Holley carb, and a Weiand manifold. That's all the information we have on what happens under the hood, so find a good mechanic to inspect the engine and obtain more information for you.
The vehicle spent its entire life with the same family, and based on the photos, it won't need anything. It's a fantastic car that only needs minor fixes—the owner says the front seats must be reupholstered. Mechanically, the car is flawless except for a transmission gasket that must be installed by the new owner.
Otherwise, the car is full of memories, as the seller shared photos with it on the track. "We spent many weekends camping in the pit area," they claim.
Despite its racing legacy, this Barracuda seems to have a hard time convincing netizens that it's worth taking home. The car landed online last week, but it only received a single bid. That's all it needed anyway, as the owner posted the car on eBay without a reserve, meaning that once it receives a single offer, it's ready to leave for another home.
The bid is $20K, and given that the auction will end in approximately two days, it'll certainly be interesting to watch how and if the digital battle gets fiercer. Meanwhile, if you want to see this Barracuda in person and inspect everything thoroughly, you must travel to Edwards, California. Considering its shape, you won't need a trailer to take it home, as it looks ready for the road in its current condition.
