Plymouth Barracuda 1973 images

by Ross Mills

The 1973 Plymouth Barracuda rolled in with energy-absorbing bumpers to survive the urban jungle’s 5 mph love taps. Under the hood, the Barracuda offered the 318 and 340 engines initially, with a spicy 360 joining later, all adjusted to sip unleaded fuel and keep the EPA smiling. For those keen on doing the gear dance, a four-speed manual with a Hurst shifter was available for the 240 and 360, and, in a plot twist worthy of a detective novel, a few 318s snuck in with the same setup. Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for the eye candy!

The 1970 Plymouth 426 Hemi ‘Cuda wasn’t just a muscle car; it was the automotive equivalent of a peacock, strutting its stuff with bright colors and a shaker hood that screamed “look at me!” Under the hood, a 426-cubic-inch Hemi engine made this ‘Cuda a beast, admired even by die-hard Chevy and Ford fans. At $3,164 MSRP, it was a steal—until you added the Hemi for an extra $871.45. Throw in an AM radio with an eight-track for $196.25, and you’d be cruising in style, albeit 1970s style.
