66 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S, Easy Resto, Low Reserve on 2040-cars

Up for auction is my 66 Barracuda Formula S. I rescued her about 20 years ago from a guy that was about a week away from cutting her up into a drag car. Unfortunately he threw away the original motor and trans because it was “only a 273”. These older cars weren’t vin stamped on the blocks anyway so the whole “matching numbers” thing doesn’t really mean much.

She has a 318 with 904 auto in her now with a factory 4 barrel manifold and Holley 600. This is a very low mileage motor that I dropped in so I could drive her. She was my daily driver until about 10 years ago when I bought my truck. She’s been sitting in my garage since then waiting her turn to get restored. She runs fantastic. Very strong and starts first click of the key. Tranny has shift kit and shifts nice and hard. Car has manual steering and manual brakes. Really nice white interior with center console. Carpet is gross. Original A/C car, everything in the cockpit is there, but everything under the hood is gone (remember the drag car story?). Although this car is drivable (except for a blown brake line), she needs a full restoration. The floors and frame rails are really nice. Engine compartment is awesome. Trunk floor is great as well. The paint is dull as is all the chrome. Stainless and anodized aluminum still look great. She needs 1/4 ’s and some small repairs here and there. This is a car that you just don’t see all the time. Easy restoration. This isn’t some project where everything is in boxes and bags. It’s all there. She’s well worth putting the time in to restore. Odometer shows only 87,232 miles. I have put a very reasonable reserve on this car. I hate to part with her, but a huge garage project forces the sale. Car has a clean and clear title.

Car will be sold as is, where is with no warranty. It must be understood that this is a 48-year-old vehicle and should be treated as such. Ask any and all questions BEFORE bidding. Unless you want this car, DON’T bid. If you win the bidding, you are expected to pay for it and take delivery. If you would like photos of any specific area, let me know and I will accommodate you as best I can. I will answer all questions as quickly as I can. I urge any and all bidders or their agent, to view the car in person before bidding. I reserve the right to end auction early as vehicle is for sale locally. If you win the auction, a $500.00 down payment is required within 24 hours from auction end, with balance due within 7 days. Shipping the vehicle is the responsibility of the buyer. I can store the car for up to 30 days provided it is paid in full, and arrangements are made ahead of time. Don’t assume anything. I have represented this car to the best of my ability, but I am human. Again, please email ALL questions BEFORE bidding. If you have less than 10 feedback rating, email me first before bidding. Don’t miss out on this one. Good luck.

 Someone emailed me after checking the numbers on the fender tag, and they told me this probably not a formula S model, but just a Barracuda. When I bought this car 20 years ago, the car was as you see it now, wearing the S badges. They looked as if they'd always been there. The guy I bought it from said it was an S, and the motor he took out was a 273 4 bbl carb. I didnt care whether it was an S or not since the motor and tranny were gone anyway, I never bothered "crunching the numbers".  I wanted it because it was a nice body to drop my motor into. Being an S or not doesnt change the fact that this is a great car for very little money. Very reasonable reserve, and if you get close, I'll drop it to sell the car. Sorry for any confusion. Please ask questions before bidding. thanks!
