Welcome to another chapter of my "On the Auction Block" series where i showcase a number of highlighted cars that were up for grabs at the 2011 Palm Beach Collector Car auction March 18, 19, and 20. This time we have a 1960s Mopar muscle car ingrained with the "Flower Power" movement of the decade. A combination of Detroit power, and Woodstock style....
Its a 1969 Plymouth Barracuda "Mod Top", one of the select Plymouth and Dodge models cars, which came with a distinctive floral patterned interior as well as, in some cases, a floral patterned soft top roof.
According to the Mopar Mod Top and Interior Registry, in 1969 over 900 Barracudas were given the Mod treatment. The line up also included the later model 1970 'Cuda as well as the Plymouth Satellite, the Dodge Dart, and the Dodge Coronet/Superbee.
Yet another unsold car at the auction. Hope one day it finds an owner, because this is one "groovy" car.
My '69 Cuda was this beautiful yellow with a 318 v8 4 speed hurst shift with yellow seats with flower inserts. I loved my car and put over 100,000 miles on it, but up north it suffered terminal salt damage. Wish I'd known then what I know now! :)
