This Plymouth Barracuda got away, but there are more like it here.

1969 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback 440

Bid to $46,000 on 10/19/23

This 1969 Plymouth Barracuda fastback was refurbished in the late 2000s and subsequently acquired by the current owner in 2013. The 440ci V8 is said to have been overbored .010″ and fitted with forged pistons under current ownership, and it sends power to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The car was cosmetically refreshed during the refurbishment, and it is equipped with 14″ steel wheels, hubcaps, dual exhaust, hood scoops, drum brakes, front bucket seats, lap belts, and a center console. This M-code Barracuda is now offered on dealer consignment with a Galen Govier decoding report, documentation from the ’69 440 ’Cuda Registry, and a clean Massachusetts title in the owner’s name.

The fastback body left the factory in Ice Blue Metallic (B3), and bodywork was reportedly carried out before it was refinished during the aforementioned refurbishment. Exterior features include a chrome mirror and bumpers, dual black hood scoops, a flip-up fuel door, and dual rectangular exhaust finishers. Pitting is present on the window trim, mirror housing, and bumpers.

Body-color 14″ wheels wear Plymouth-branded hubcaps and are mounted with Firestone Super Sports Wide Oval whitewall tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel drums. The car was equipped from the factory with a Rallye suspension and front sway bar, and it has been fitted with KYB Gas-a-Just shocks.

The cabin was reupholstered during the refurbishment and houses front bucket seats and a rear bench covered in blue vinyl that are complemented by a color-coordinated dashboard, carpeting, headliner, and door panels. Equipment includes a woodgrain-trimmed center console, front and rear lap belts, and vent windows. There is a blanking plate in place of the radio.

The three-spoke steering wheel fronts a 120-mph speedometer and a combination gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 78k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.

The 440ci V8 was reportedly rebuilt in 2022 with work that included boring the cylinders .010″ over and fitting forged pistons. The engine is also equipped with a four-barrel carburetor, polished valve covers, and an aftermarket dual exhaust system. Various casting and stamping numbers are pictured in the gallery below.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a TorqueFlite 727 three-speed automatic transmission and a 3.55:1 limited-slip differential. The chassis was repainted and a protective coating and body-color paint can be seen on the underside.

A Galen Govier report from 1997 that decodes the equipment, colors, and production information is included in the sale. Paperwork from the ’69 440 ’Cuda Registry is viewable in the gallery, as is an image of the trim tag.

Most of the photos in the gallery were taken in 2022.
