STREET LEGAL 1966 PLYMOUTH BARRACUDA GT 300

1966 plymouth barracuda gt restoration

1966 Barracuda GT – Multiple Award Winner!

The Plymouth Barracuda GT has a long and illustrious history in competition racing. The design of the vehicle came into existence when NASCAR banned Chrysler’s 426 Hemi from the 1965 competition, which led to Chrysler’s immediate withdrawal from NASCAR. The Trans Am racing series was newly formed that year, and Chrysler focused upon creating street legal versions of these cars. This restored 1966 Barracuda is one of the 16 Barracuda sports hardtops that are registered with Chrysler.

Competition-level performance

Although it is a street-legal vehicle, this Chrysler Registry listed 1966 Barracuda GT was built based on competition guidelines. It features a 300 cubic inch competition engine that was derived from the 318 cubic inch unit mounted to a manual gear box.
