I love those old Barracudas, one of my buddy's older sisters had a 65 with 273 hypo, posi and a 4 speed. He taught her how to leave rubber.

You could fold down the back seat and sleep "under the stars" back there.

That one has the 400 cube Pontiac engine versus the 403 Olds engine that was also an option.

Worthless trivia..... if the shaker scoop reads "T/A 6.6", it's the Pontiac engine. The Olds engine equipped cars read "6.6 Litre" on the shaker scoop.

I like the red interior with a manual gearshift

I'd have to go with white or red. Wouldn't be racing, so any numbers matching engine would do.

In the mid '70's before I was quite old enough to drive my neighbor (a few years older) bought himself one - with the 455 (at least that's what it said on the scoop). Dave was already cool... he became Ultra Cool in my mind.

Odd to see a manual window crank on the door and a power window switch on the console of the same car........

In the top picture (red steering wheel), I see the power windows switches on the console, and what looks like a power door lock switch on the door. The second picture (black steering wheel), I just see the manual window crank on the door, no switches.

You're obviously paying more attention to detail than I did.......

Online maybe, haha. I think the interior with the red wheel has a side mirror adjuster on the door.

As a teen, I wanted one of these-- Austin Healey bug-eyed Sprite. I never got one. My dad had a few Brit sports cars while I was growing up. An Austin Healey 100-6 (nice car, but I was too young to drive it), an MG TD, and my favorite, which I drove for a summer-- a Triumph TR4 (also pictured). For a while I did have a later square-body Sprite.
