Plymouth Barracuda Hemi Drag Car (1968)
The 426 Hemi engine was not a regular production item in the Barracuda until the 1970 model year. Still, for the 1968 racing season, Plymouth produced 50 drag racing specials using the Barracuda Fastback bodies and 426 race-spec Hemi engines. The manufacturing was shared with the Dodge Hemi Dart in Chrysler’s Hamtramck, Michigan, plant (via Hemmings).
As Dodge Hemi Dart, Barracudas came as pure racing, non-street legal vehicles to be sold only to racing teams. Of course, they were painted in primer, ready to be personalized by the racers.
