There is a very rare (one of 17) 1970 Plymouth Barracuda 383/A727 TX9 (Black exterior paint)/H6X9 Black non-floral bucket seats/V1Q Blue Mod Top that was formerly owned by Karl Smith in Florida.
Usually, Barracudas come with the yellow floral (V1P) material, but the V1Q blue floral was an option for 1970 Barracudas. This was the same V1Q blue floral material that was available for 1969 Plymouth Satellites.
