Pink 66 barracuda

[M.Bozz]

Hi guys, so I have a question and it's just for self knowledge. Awhile back I bought a 1966 barracuda with no vin and just a bill of sale. So I go down to dmv and get a vin and also a bonded title. Car has been rattle canned black,. I take the back window and trim off and it's pink, pink is under all the trim and on the back side of the grill.
So my question is - how many pink 1966 barracuda is there ?

There were pink Barracuda's. Exactly how many, we may never know.

Just Google "pink Barracuda" and see the photos.

My first thought was the Playmate of the year Barracuda. Was Mary Cake Face even in business in 66? LOL

'66 was a Charger.
'67 was a Barracuda.

I have parted out 3 of them. They all came from CA.

'67 was a Barracuda.

I thought that too. There's been at least one documented 66 that popped up on Ebay a while back. It was the real deal. I don't much about them myself, though. Just that they were pink. LOL

Funny because several articles reference '66 'cudas as Playmate cars. One listed it as a '66 but showed the Playmate and her '67.

'66 was a Charger.
'67 was a Barracuda.

66 was not a charger, it was a cuda for Lisax Baker so the story goes. She also had a 67 cuda with the same 999 paint code

1966
Playmate: Allison Parks

Car: 1966 Dodge Charger

Details: Powered by a 383 V-8, Allison Parks's Charger was large and powerful enough to haul her kids, who were identified in her spread as "swimming students."

1967
Playmate: Lisa Baker

Car: 1966 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback

Details: The Plymouth Barracuda is the only Plymouth ever given to a Playmate of the Year. This particular car was popular enough to spawn a small production run of "Plymouth Playmate Barracudas" with pink paint jobs.

But these are magazine articles. I tried to find something on Playboys website about the list but did not want to "join".
And with the "internet" there are no absolutes.

Unless there's a insider track on colors, there is no color breakdown for those years. There may have been but there apparently was a fire that destroyed a lot of production records. @Alaskan_TA knows much know more about that stuff than I do.

That's what the state inspector told me, fire back in the day

My 66 Dart doesn't have any breakdown between hardtops and convertibles. One of 1237 but if there were further breakdowns may be one of 800 or so. No one will ever know.
