Used 1971 Plymouth Barracuda for sale in Charlotte, NC

When it comes to legendary muscle cars, the folklore of the incredible Plymouth 'Cuda is simply undeniable. In many ways, Plymouth's popular intermediate offering used its massive Hemi power to define an era. But even in that lexicon of performance there were tiers of nobility. Naturally, Hemi cars were desirable. Convertibles brought automatic exclusivity. And when anyone combined a Hemi with convertible, they got something very special! A LEGACY OF STRENGTH Because of its aggressive yet tailored aesthetics, and the fact that Plymouth only produced 11 Hemi-powered convertibles, 1971 has become the most desirable year of 'Cuda. Over the decades, Hemi convertibles have sailed through auctions bringing massive prices. Prior to the Great Recession, one of the 11 drop-tops was predicted to bring $5 million, and after the Great Recession, the only numbers-matching example known to exist actually did cross the block for an easy $3.5 million. HEMI IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES While virtually any 'Cuda convertible is a great investment, a million dollar investment isn't exactly something most people can drive with a clear conscience. That's where classics like this awesome Hemi tribute come in. Spending many of its most recent years in an 80-car collection, this Plymouth has been ground-up restored into a highly accurate recreation of one of the most desirable MoPars of all-time. Under the car's familiar Shaker Hood, 426 cubic inches of storied elephant motor makes excellent use of dual-quad induction and hot MSD ignition. That engine funnels power through a tough A833 4-speed, which is sequenced to a Dana 60 axle that's finished with a posi-traction differential and fun, 3.54 gears. A welcome adherence to the authenticity of documented Hemi cars, that Dana pushes a correct Hemi Suspension that's spec-ed with factory power steering, power front disc and rear drum brakes, requisite torque boxes and staggered leaf springs. IT'S GOT THE LOOK TO GET LOOKS Why buy a choice muscle car if it doesn't look like a choice muscle car, right? Originally Rallye Red, and presently sporting what a previous owner describes as Deep Red pigment, this 'Cuda is restored to excite! A power convertible top caps glossy 2-stage that's sprayed over restored sheetmetal and a correct Black and White interior. That inviting cockpit is centered on high-back seats that feel like a great place to see the sights. Optional woodgrain trim dresses things up a bit, while detailed Rallye Gauges keep an eye on essentials. Within arm's reach is a modern Dual CD player that kicks three factory speakers and two aftermarket speakers. And the driver feels the road through a woodgrain steering wheel and a cool Hurst Pistol Grip shifter. Buying the muscle car of your dreams is fun, unless the market dictates that you park it in a garage and never touch it. In this Hemi-powered 'Cuda, you can experience some of Detroit's best metal the way it was intended to be enjoyed: top down, tires rolling and V8 roaring!
