Model history

• The Plymouth Barracuda, introduced in 1964, was an iconic muscle car of the 1960s and 1970s. Originally designed as a sporty version of the Valiant, it quickly became a model in its own right. The second generation from 1967 to 1969 characterized the appearance with its distinctive fishbowl rear window. The powerful 7.0-liter HEMI V8 engine, introduced in 1968, turned the Barracuda into a powerhouse, setting standards for performance and accelerating the car to legendary status.
