1971 Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe 383 4-Speed
1 of 16 Built | Numbers-Matching Big Block | Shaker | Sure-Grip
Welcome to Street Dreams Texas-serving classic and collector car enthusiasts worldwide for over 27 years.
Offered here is an exceptionally rare and highly desirable 1971 Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe, finished in its correct Tawny Gold Metallic (GY9) with black "383" billboard graphics and a gold vinyl top (V1Y) over black premium leather interior (PRX9).
This is not a typical Barracuda. Of the 1,615 Gran Coupes produced in 1971, only 16 were factory-equipped with the 383ci 4-barrel V8 and 4-speed manual transmission-making this a truly elite Mopar collector piece.
Power comes from the numbers-matching 383ci V8 (E65), paired to the highly sought-after A833 4-speed manual transmission (D21) and Sure-Grip rear differential, delivering the raw torque and driver engagement that defines the muscle car era.

This is a true BP23 Gran Coupe, confirmed by the VIN and fender tag. It retains the correct Gran Coupe trim elements, including the luxury interior, overhead consolette, and argent tail panel. The car retains its numbers-matching 383ci V8 (E65) and is equipped with a Sure-Grip differential and 3.23:1 gearing, which provides an excellent balance of drivability and performance. We've included photos of the engine stampings, VIN, and fender tag in the gallery for verification. Based on production data for 1971 Barracuda Gran Coupes, approximately 1,615 were produced, with only around 16 factory-equipped with the 383ci 4-barrel and 4-speed manual (D21). This example falls within that documented configuration, supported by the fender tag and drivetrain. The car delivers a classic big-block Mopar driving experience-strong torque, responsive throttle, and excellent engagement through the pistol-grip 4-speed. The MagnaFlow exhaust provides a deep, aggressive tone without being overwhelming. This 1971 Barracuda Gran Coupe represents a rare opportunity to own a documented, numbers-matching big block Mopar with one of the lowest-production drivetrain combinations available. Cars with this level of rarity and factory configuration are increasingly difficult to source and continue to see strong collector demand!
