What Makes It Special
Ronald’s 1965 Barracuda is a sharp example of the first-gen fastback — known for its distinctive curved wraparound rear window and sleek coupe styling. Though it’s seen some updates over the years, including a repaint, refreshed interior, and new wheels, it still maintains its original drivetrain and vintage charm.
What truly makes this car stand out is the connection Ronald has built with it: this Barracuda has been in his family for over 30 years, cared for and enjoyed as part of their automotive story. It’s not just a survivor — it’s a long-time companion.[/vc_column_text]
