Unfortunately for anyone with love for both saltwater fish and some of their most ferocious alternates from the automotive world, the Plymouth Barracuda muscle car was rather short-lived. It ended its prolific career after just ten model years (1964 to 1974) at the behest of the 1973 energy crisis. Gone but not forgotten, this classic lives on whenever possible. 21 photos
We all know that just about any Barracuda (when sporting four wheels) is a great collectible today, particularly when referring to the 1970–1974 E-Body cars that shed all previous ties with the Valiant. Instead, Plymouth opted for the same components as used by the marginally larger Dodge Challenger and luckily didn’t make the mistake to let anyone know about that via shared design elements.
