 Plymouth was preparing a production 1966 Barracuda GT that would have allowed it to race in FIA Group 3. There was a 13 page letter that outlined how all cars were to be built: a 318 (a year before the 318 was made available in 1967), aluminum intake with 600 CFM Holley 4 BBL, 4 speed trans, 8 quart oil pan, disc brakes, trunk mounted battery, 15x7 aluminum and steel wheels, Plexiglass rear window, lightweight seats, steel tube headers with full length dual exhaust and instead of a rear seat an 18 gallon aux gas tank which would have given the car a total of 40 gallons for endurance races. So what happened? It is speculated that after seeing Ford only sold 561 1965 Shelby GT350 Mustangs management got cold feet.

 Look how far ahead of time Buick was. This photo was taken in 1961 for proposed tops for targeted women convertible buyers. This predated the Mopar "Mod Top" by 8 years.

 Stripes delete, no performance hood treatment and no vinyl top. Very understated. . . .

 Somewhere in this thread is this exact car. It's red and has very few miles on it. Hot Rod Magazine did an in-depth on it.
