The Plymouth Barracuda is a two-door car that was made by Plymouth from 1964 to 1974 .

The first-generation Barracuda was a fastback coupe based on the Plymouth Valiant and was available from 1964 to 1966. The Barracuda used the Valiant's wheelbase and the Valiant hood, headlamp bezels, windshield, vent windows, quarter panels, doors, A-pillar, and bumpers. All other sheet metal and glass was new, including the disctinctive wraparound back glass. In 1965 changes were made to the engines available and in 1966 the Barracuda received new taillamps, new front sheet metal, and a new instrument panel.

The 1967 Barracuda still shared many components with the Valiant but was fully redesigned with Barracuda-specific sheet metal styling and its own range of models including convertibles as well as fastback and notchback hardtops. Once again, yearly changes in 1968 and 1969 were mainly changes to engine options

The redesign for the 1970 Barracuda removed all its previous commonality with the Valiant. The original fastback design was deleted from the line and the Barracuda now consisted of coupe and convertible models. Once again only mechanical changes occurred in the 1971 update.

With a new grille and single headlights (very similar to the 1970 model) and four circular taillights for 1972, the Barracuda would remain basically unchanged through 1974, with new body side stripes, and minor changes to the bumpers to conform with federal impact standards being the only significant variations.
