1967 Plymouth Barracuda hardtop: 318-swapped driver at a $3,000 early bid
Early bid is far under driver value; worth watching if it closes under about $14,000.
1967 Plymouth Barracuda
Ended Why we picked it
This is a first-year second-generation Barracuda hardtop in Persian White with a reupholstered black interior, factory buckets and console. The original 273 was replaced with a 318 wearing an Edelbrock carb and aluminum intake, backed by a three-speed TorqueFlite. The seller says recent work covered ignition, cooling, under-dash wiring, leaf springs and the kickdown cable, and it has a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller's name.
The bid sits at $3,000 with 11 days to go, and comparable hardtops have sold between about $17,600 and $28,600. Bids usually climb a lot near the end, so treat this as one to watch. It is not a numbers-matching collector car, which makes it a good base for a small-block A-body restomod.
The value check
When we found it, the bid was $10,000. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $17,600–$28,600, so the middle of the market is about $23,100. That put this car 57% under.
Recent sales of 1967-68 Barracuda hardtops (BH23 body) with six-cylinder or small-block V8s in driver condition ran about $17,600 to $28,600. The current bid is far below that, but there are 11 days left and bids usually climb.

What to check
- Seller lists paint chips and bubbles plus cracking near the front clip; bubbles on an A-body often mean rust in the lower fenders, quarters and trunk drop-offs.
- Check floors, rear frame rails and the cowl area, common A-body rot spots.
- Intermittent backfire and exhaust touching the frame need sorting.
- Steering wheel is off-center; check the steering box and front-end parts.
- Mileage is listed as TMU (true mileage unknown).
- Reserve status was not shown on the page; confirm before bidding.
Making it drive like new
The 318 swap already makes this an easy LA-small-block build: add a front disc brake conversion, tubular or upgraded torsion bars and a rear sway bar, then a later 5-speed or overdrive automatic. The A-body's light weight means a mild 360 or Magnum swap would go a long way.
1 builder makes a complete chassis for the 1967–76 Mopar A-body (Dart, Duster, Barracuda, Valiant). Compare them side by side, along with what it takes to stiffen the factory frame.
How it ended
Bidding reached $12,500 but the car didn't sell (ended Oct 26, 2026). Unsold cars often get relisted, so it may turn up again.
