Highlights

True 340 ci V8 (P code) example, as confirmed by the VIN
Desirable fastback body style
Rare export-specification model
An uncommon and distinctive alternative to the Mustang and Camaro in Europe

The Appeal

While Mustangs and Camaros tend to dominate the conversation, the Plymouth Barracuda, particularly in fastback form with the potent 340 ci small block, offers a more distinctive and arguably more rewarding proposition. The 340 was widely regarded as one of the finest small-block V8s of its era, punching well above its displacement and making the lighter Barracuda a formidable performer on the road.

Our car is a genuine code P 340 example, as confirmed by its VIN, wearing the striking fastback body that is so highly prized among collectors. It is an export-specification model, adding a further layer of rarity to an already uncommon machine.

For those seeking a muscle car with genuine credentials and a degree of exclusivity that its more ubiquitous rivals simply cannot match, this Barracuda warrants serious consideration.
