The Barracuda could be the next muscle auto to return. Retro style on domestic made performance vehicles has been a large thing. Lots of people would love to view the Barracuda return. There is a hitch, of course. Plymouth hasn’t existed in practically a decade.
Barracuda coming back as a rumor
Recently, the design head of the Chrysler organization and head of Dodge, Roger Gilles, went to the SEMA, or Specialty Equipment Market Association, trade show, according to USA Today. It’s an elite event, only for people within the auto industry. He had been asked about any new projects that were in the works, and he mentioned the Barracuda. He seems to really want it back after being asked about this for so long. It wouldn't be a bad idea to bring back the Barracuda, although it isn't set in stone. Other cars have gotten retro updates, like the Ford Mustang and the Chevy Camaro. There was also a return of the Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger. These both did well. Plymouth no longer exists though which made the Barracuda at first.
Classic MOPAR muscle
The Plymouth Barracuda was an incredibly popular car among muscle cars. There were great cars that came for cheap from Plymouth. You can get a 273-cubic-inch V8 or 6-cylinder in the first generation which cost about $2,500 from 1964 to 1966. In 1967, the car was changed a ton. It ended up with a 426-inch Hemi V8. The Hemi 426 and 440 are both remembered for how powerful they’re when one of probably the most valuable cars within the world right now are the rare HemiCuda convertibles. Production ended. This all happened in 1974 too.
The end of Plymouth
The Plymouth brand has been over for a when. Since 2001 it has been gone. The Barracuda would have to go under Dodge or Chrysler if it were brought back.
