 | | Yes, introduction day of the Barracuda was April 1, 1964, some two weeks before the Mustang's debut, and when some auto writers saw the new Barracuda, they might well have regarded it as an April Fool's Day prank. |
 | | Plymouth also offered Barracuda buyers the choice of two six-cylinder powerplants, the anemic 170 cubic inch version and the 225 cubic inch engine, which had a reputation for absolute reliability. |
 | | Most of the Barracuda buyers, though, opted for the V-8, which was derived from the stalwart 318 cubic inch block that was Plymouth's answer to the Chevy small block. |
