Description
The AAR badge painted on the ‘Cuda’s rear flank spelled excitement for fans and generated a healthy dose of respect from those who competed against it on the race track.
From the earliest days of what would be called the “Pony car” phenomenon, the Plymouth Barracuda tried marching in lock-step with the iconic Ford Mustang. Of course it failed to match the Ford in sales, even though, technically, Plymouth’s Valiant-based “fish” was the first such vehicle to appear in public in the spring of 1964. But with each passing year, the Mustang marketing juggernaut grew stronger, even though the slower-selling Barracuda steadily improved in both style and in terms of unbridled muscle.
