1974 Plymouth Barracuda Runs/Drives 318 Auto F8 Green Clear Title
Vehicle Description
1974 Plymouth Barracuda, highly optioned with matching 318 & 904 Automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes and air conditioning. Factory 8-3/4 rear with fresh oil change.The first set of photos depict the car as it was found last year.Original dark green with one repaint in the early '80s.This car has been sitting dormant in an urban NJ garage since 1986 and has not seen a drop of rain at least since then. I am the 2nd owner and have a clear title in my name. Two sets of keys cut from NOS blanks. Mint original owners manual with sales literature in the glovebox. I found a matching build sheet which is now framed and is included.The car starts right up, runs & drives great. No smoke. Factory AC is complete but not currently cooling.New parts installed include Mopar brand rear leaf springs with Mancini restoration grade U bolts and OEM shackles, new rear kyb shocks & brakes. Rear shock brackets were stripped and powdercoated.New Canadian made fuel tank and new sending unit. All gauges work.Full engine tune-up & fluid change with new US Radiator brand (1974 only) radiator. New battery cables & radiator hosesNew interior door, quarter & A pillar panels. I have new door armrest pads however never bought the cups or brackets to mount them. I did not cut the rear panels for the shoulder belt retractors.The previous owner stored tires in the backseat which stained the vinyl. Front bucket seats have vintage covers however I think the seats are in good shape beneath the covers.Door hinges were rebuilt by Leo Tafoya, famous for his Chrysler hinge rebuild service, and the doors open and close as new.Floor pans and frame rails are in nice shape with only scattered surface rust as shown, trunk floor is generally good with a small patch needed over the left rear spring shackle.Doors, trunk lid and hood are nearly perfect.Lower quarters and rear inner wheel wells will need patching. New AMD rear wheel wells & trunk extension pans are included. Some rust in right inner fender, new AMD inner fender included.What originally appeared as rust blisters beneath the vinyl top were discovered to be adhesive blobs from when the vinyl top was replaced prior to storage years ago. I believe the roof is very nearly rust free.New AMD 1972 type front and rear bumpers with newly powder coated brackets are installed. The original bumpers are included.Most all lights work inside and out, left front fender marker light is not working.The entire area beneath the trunk pan including both frame rails was wet blasted and painted with KBS rustproofing paint (similar to POR15).There are two small areas with rust in the lower cowl and a new AMD lower cowl is included to provide patches.All the glass is good. Many new parts.The car will ultimately benefit from a complete restoration however could be driven as-is with an exhaust system.I will have a nice dual exhaust system available soon for free to the Barracuda buyer from my '71 Challenger if desired.Unfortunately the fender tag was missing when I bought the car and despite having offered the original owners widow and brother a $200 reward for it, it never surfaced. I have all receipts.Feel free to ask questions. Call/text between 7am & 9pm EST, two zero one seven two five eight four four eight.European bids are welcome but please contact me before bidding. I live directly in the area where vehicles are shipped overseas.

On Jul-09-25 at 03:56:12 PDT, seller added the following information:The car is equipped with factory front disc brakes. I have serviced the rear brakes only. New front brake hoses are included but not installed. The brakes work well but may benefit from additional maintenance to the front. The transmission filter was replaced along with new premium fluid and includes a new Lubelocker pan gasket.
