What Makes It Special
The 1966 Barracuda was the final year of the first generation and featured several unique touches — including a distinctive grille, slim chrome bumper treatment, and exclusive wraparound fastback rear glass that defined its profile. Nicholas’s Barracuda goes a step further with its Formula S package, a high-performance upgrade that originally came with a 273 Commando V8 — now upgraded to a powerful 340 under the hood.
Finished in a custom paint scheme inspired by the legendary Hemi Under Glass exhibition car, this fastback is not just a tribute — it’s a rare street legend in its own right.
