The Barracuda was Plymouth's entry into the "pony car" market and
competed directly against the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet
Camaro. In 1965, Plymouth introduced the Formula S trim package on
the Barracuda to better compete against the performance cars on the
market. The Formula S included new standard features such as the
235 HP 273 cubic inch V8, in-dash tachometer, upgraded suspension,
larger wheels and tires, as well as an added stripe package. This
1966 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S is a very nice example of these
great pony cars and is 1 of 2,970 Formula S Barracudas produced in
1966 with a manual transmission. This Barracuda benefits from an
older restoration that still presents very well finished in its
Dark Blue metallic exterior paint. Shortly after the restoration,
this Barracuda was featured in Chrysler Power magazine. The Dark
Blue exterior shines very well with only minor defects present and
is complimented nicely by its factory chrome and stainless trim,
factory Formula S badging, period correct Formula S stripe, and
later model Plymouth Rallye wheels. The Blue vinyl interior is in
very good condition with only minor age present. Powering this
beautiful Formula S Barracuda is its date-coded correct Commando
273 cubic inch V8 backed by its 4-speed manual transmission
equipped with a Hurst shifter. Both the engine and transmission
perform just as they should with no issue. This Barracuda is nicely
equipped with options such as: AM/FM/CD stereo w/ aux, variable
speed wipers, heater/defrost, in-dash tachometer, and rear folding
sport seat. If you are in the market for a turn-key ready first gen
Plymouth Barracuda that would present very well at your local
cruise-in or car show and will put a smile on your face on the way
there, you will want to take a very close look at this gorgeous
1966 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S.
