Plymouth was preparing a production 1966 Barracuda GT that would have allowed it to race in FIA Group 3. There was a 13 page letter that outlined how all cars were to be built: a 318 (a year before the 318 was made available in 1967), aluminum intake with 600 CFM Holley 4 BBL, 4 speed trans, 8 quart oil pan, disc brakes, trunk mounted battery, 15x7 aluminum and steel wheels, Plexiglass rear window, lightweight seats, steel tube headers with full length dual exhaust and instead of a rear seat an 18 gallon aux gas tank which would have given the car a total of 40 gallons for endurance races. So what happened? It is speculated that after seeing Ford only sold 561 1965 Shelby GT350 Mustangs management got cold feet. |

Look how far ahead of time Buick was. This photo was taken in 1961 for proposed tops for targeted women convertible buyers. This predated the Mopar "Mod Top" by 8 years. |

Stripes delete, no performance hood treatment and no vinyl top. Very understated. . . . http://s26.postimg.cc/ak6qs3uuh/image.jpg |

Somewhere in this thread is this exact car. It's red and has very few miles on it. Hot Rod Magazine did an in-depth on it. |
Did you know . . .
Of all the auto companies that used them only Ford called them Magnum 500 wheels which was the name Motor Wheel Corp used when it sold them as aftermarket wheels. http://s26.postimg.cc/9vp611yax/screenshot_2845.png AMC: Mag style wheels http://s26.postimg.cc/evmm903xl/image.jpg BUICK: Chrome-plated wheel http://s26.postimg.cc/hecwnff1l/1967...cle_f_2048.jpg CHEVROLET: Super Sport wheel http://s26.postimg.cc/ivycyzjs9/1969...ars_red_ss.jpg DODGE/PLYMOUTH: Chrome Road Wheel http://s26.postimg.cc/ikgwm83c9/1967...S23_muscle.jpg OLDSMOBILE: Super Stock I http://s26.postimg.cc/svt9evv1l/bbb.jpg |
