The start of the Seventies saw newer innovation and intervention in the design and structure of the Baracuda. It was branded as the “Cuda” and the new design was strikingly different from the preceding models with sleeker and sportier features. It was Hemi-powered and was sold without warranty.
The 440-6 and 426 Hemi made the performance of the Barracudas highly proficient. The engine was easy to modify to a degree and in either way; original or modified, one could in effect have a five sit race car. In the year 1971, more alteration took place with a different frame and taillights. This Hemi-powered design is considered to be legendary version and is much sought after by automobile collectors of today.
