“Up for auction a fine example of a very rare 1969 Plymouth barracuda with mod top and full mod interior option. Finished in brilliant Y2 sunfire yellow paint offset by rechromed bumpers front and rear and professionally restored trunk finish panel, with new tail lights and bezels. Shod with steel wheels with poverty caps with new red line tires, restored bumper jack and new trunk mat. Completely rust free California and southwest car all its life!

Powered by totally stock rebuilt 318 and console shifted 904 automatic trans- both with less than 800 miles on rebuilds. Mechanically sound with new brakes, shocks, exhaust, wiper motor etc., this little cuda starts, runs and stops as it should…..no worries get in and drive anywhere…..

On to the stunning pale yellow interior with mod pattern inserts and door panels, EVERYTHING new inside from Legendary interiors, including: dash pad, door panels, arm rests and bases, carpet, seats with new foam,,,, restored console and dash face, only item to complete interior it does need stock thumbwheel radio which I do not have.
