After Rotisserie Restoration...
One of the rarest and most sought-after muscle cars is set to hit the auction block this November—a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda 340 Convertible. With only 102 Cuda convertibles built in 1971 featuring the 340 CID V8 engine and Torqeflite automatic transmission, this example is a true collector’s dream. What makes this particular car even more special is that it’s one of only seven produced with this drivetrain in Tawny Gold, and the only one with a white bucket seat interior, making it a truly one-of-a-kind vehicle.
This Barracuda underwent a meticulous rotisserie restoration, bringing it back to factory-fresh condition. Under the hood, it retains the original 340 CID V8 engine, fed by a Carter 4-barrel carburetor, and is paired with a Torqeflite automatic transmission. The car's original fender tag is intact, providing documentation of its authenticity and factory specifications. Additional highlights include power steering, dual exhaust with bright tips, and factory Rallye wheels with period-correct F70-14 Polyglas tires.
Inside, the white bucket seat interior provides a striking contrast to the Tawny Gold exterior, creating a classic yet unique look. The car is well-appointed with features like a center console, Music Master AM radio, Rallye dash, and a woodgrain steering wheel. For added convenience, it comes with a factory power convertible top, fender-mounted turn signals, and a factory luggage rack. With such attention to detail, this Cuda delivers a blend of style, performance, and luxury that few other cars can match.
The 1971 Barracuda stands as an icon of American muscle, and with this particular model’s rarity and rotisserie restoration, it’s expected to draw significant interest from bidders when it crosses the auction stage. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a muscle car enthusiast, this one-of-a-kind 1971 Plymouth Barracuda 340 Convertible is a piece of automotive history you won’t want to miss.
