• Built by Dennis McCarthy / Vehicle Effects, Universal's official builder for the Fast & Furious franchise
• Registered to Vehicle Effects Inc.
• Used on-screen as Letty Ortiz's (Michelle Rodriguez) car in the Race Wars sequence
• Fitted with a Mopar V8 engine and 4-speed manual transmission
• Accompanied by its US title
Originally constructed in 1972 at Chrysler's New Stanton factory as a hardtop coupé powered by a 383 ci V8 engine, this Plymouth Barracuda was later acquired by Dennis McCarthy's Vehicle Effects team for use in Fast & Furious 7 (2015). Serving as the principal "hero" car driven by Michelle Rodriguez in her role as Letty Ortiz, the vehicle features prominently during the film's Race Wars and subsequent scenes.
Finished in a striking black-on-black configuration chosen by the production's design department, the car embodies the perfect blend of classic American muscle and the bold cinematic aesthetic that defines the Fast & Furious series. Built with a Chrysler V8 powertrain and completed to full filming specification, it stands as one of the most recognisable hero cars from the modern franchise era.
Following production, the Barracuda entered private ownership before being acquired by Movie Cars Central, where it has been carefully preserved in screen-used condition.
Offered with its US title in the name of Vehicle Effects Inc., an 846A customs document, a spare engine, and production data from the movie, this 'Cuda represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of Fast & Furious history. Some mechanical recommissioning will be required prior to road use.
