Details

This 1969 Plymouth Barracuda Mod Top is powered by its original and rebuilt E44 2-barrel 318ci 8-cylinder engine paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. It has been upgraded with Chrysler J-heads, a 4-barrel intake manifold and carburetor, and Mopar Performance valve covers. The chassis and suspension components, which feature torsion bars in front and leaf springs in the rear, have been maintained in stock condition with no recent service. The shocks and bushings were replaced during the restoration. This car has power steering and manual drum brakes. The brake master cylinder was replaced recently. The car rolls on stock steel wheels with hubcaps wrapped in BFGoodrich tires. This example was restored 30 years ago. Details of the restoration include a respray of the Sunfire Yellow paint, replacement of the window seals and existing Mod Top with a reproduction. All the glass is original. There is some paint bubbling under the driver's door and around some bolt heads under the hood. All the exterior lights are reported to work normally. The mod interior is mostly original, including the headliner, mod floral-pattern seat and door panel inserts. This car has bucket seats and a column shifter, the gauges are in working order and the manual windows wind up and down with no known issues. Interior restorations include replacement of the original carpet with new material from Legendary Interiors, as well as rechroming of some of the plastic trim. The original steering wheel is wrapped with an aftermarket cover and the original radio has been upgraded to receive FM frequencies. There's also a functional, aftermarket 8-track tape player mounted beneath the dashboard. Original documentation for this one-of-937 Mod Top Barracuda includes the Broadcast Sheet and other paperwork, including receipts for the restoration and other miscellaneous items.
