This is Mark’s project 1965 Plymouth Barracuda in Round Rock. The Plymouth Barracuda beat the Ford Mustang to the market in 1964 by two weeks.

V8, this car has a later 318 cu. in. V8.1965 Barracuda in Round Rock, TX 1965 Barracuda in Round Rock, TX. engine1965 Plymouth Barracuda-06-071965 Barracuda in Round Rock, Texas
