1967 Plymouth Barracuda

Plymouth was out to win you over with many new and redesigned models in 1967, including the 1967 Barracuda. Redesigned on a new, longer wheelbase and offered with a choice of V8s, including two 273 cid V8s and a new 383 cid V8. The Slant Six engine was officially dropped. The fastback model was now joined by a notch-back and a convertible. The Formula S option package was still available and added a heavy duty suspension, tachometer, Wide-Oval tires, and special emblems and trim. As the pony car class became established and competition heated up, Plymouth began to revise the Barracuda's engine options and the Barracuda began to become known as a true pony car. Engine options consisted of a 273 V8 with 180 hp, a 273 V8 with 235 hp and a 383 V8 with 280 hp.
