poncho sd 2006-10-28 20:19	STUNNING love 'Cudas - one of the coolest cars ever made, especially in one of Chrysler's "high impact" colours such as Sublime, Vitamin C, Go Mango etc. I've always preferred the 'Cuda to the Dodge Challenger because the Challenger was intended for a SLIGHTLY more respectable buyer - this is reflected in the designs of the cars - the Challenger was longer in the front overhang and boot/trunk, even though the cars share the same platform, being E-bodies. One defining and distinguishing feature on the 'Cuda ('Cuda being the name for the more performance orientated versions of the Barracuda - an indication of how radical and just plain cool the muscle car era was) was the design of the C-pillar. The top of the rear side window on the Challenger is curved, whereas on the Barracuda it is angular with a sharp point - a feature which I think is ahead of it's time, such as the Mercedes 300SL, the Endura noses on late 60s/early 70s Pontiac GTOs and 1970-73 Firebirds etc. Just look at the door handles on this car, the twin rectangular exhaust pipes which exit from the rear valance, the neat tail-lights etc - all ultra cool. Watch the TV programme Nash Bridges starring Miami Vice's Don Johnson - his character drove a 1971 (best looking front end, in my opinion) Go Mango convertible with white leather. I think it was supposed to be a Hemi, but I doubt it really was. Best episode was "'Cuda Grace" in which the villain also drove a 'Cuda - a Sublime green hardtop, but the car was totalled at the end of the episode.
