Loose Hot Wheels - Plymouth Barracuda - White Playing Card Art Car

The original Custom Plymouth Barracuda casting debuted in Hot Wheels’ first Sweet Sixteen run in 1968 (produced 1968–1969).

Casting number

The classic 1968 Custom Barracuda casting number is 6211 as recorded in Hot Wheels casting references.

Designer

The original 1968 Custom Barracuda was designed by Harry Bradley; modern reworkings and recent convention/hobby versions have been produced by designers such as Phil Riehlman for contemporary RLC and convention releases.

Sets it has come in

• Sweet Sixteen original 1968 release

• Numerous reissues and retooled runs across decades, including 1990s/2000s re-releases and modern hobby/RLC and convention exclusives (convention and RLC sELECTIONs releases in the 2020s).

Collectors notes

Collectors track country-of-origin variations (US vs Hong Kong) and known “hybrid” cars mixing US bodies with HK bases; US examples typically have clear glass and more detailed interiors while HK examples have blue-tinted windows and different interior colors; color rarity and hybrid combinations greatly affect desirability.

Estimated eBay value based on sold listings

Common carded or modern-mainline Barracuda castings typically sell in the low single digits to teens USD; specialty hobby, convention, RLC, Real Riders, or rare color variants command higher prices and can fetch substantially more on auction listings.

General information about the casting

The Custom Plymouth Barracuda is a long-running Hot Wheels interpretation of the Barracuda/Cuda family, produced in multiple casting runs and scales (primarily 1:64 mainline and hobby variants), notable for its “Cuda” styling cues, multiple tampo/color variants over time, and frequent appearance in collector club exclusives and reissues
