THE CAR
From the private Pedal to the Metal Vault comes this extremely rare and highly desirable 1970 Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe Convertible, beautifully restored and finished in Vitamin C Orange over white leather. This standout example is one of just 518 Gran Coupe Convertibles ever built — and 1970 was the only year Plymouth offered this luxurious convertible package, making it a true one-year-only collector’s gem.
Originally ordered on September 5th, 1969, by Rogers-Farmer Metro Chrysler-Plymouth Inc. in Atlanta, Georgia, this car has remained a Georgia vehicle since new, a detail that helped preserve its original metal and structure. Retaining its numbers-matching 318 cubic inch V8 engine and factory-correct automatic transmission, this Barracuda offers elegance, power, and rarity in a single, open-top Mopar masterpiece.
This car is not for sale and is proudly preserved as part of the Pedal to the Metal Vault – a curated private collection of significant American performance cars.
