The Plymouth Barracuda was introduced in 1964, but it wasn't until 1969 that the official ‘Cuda version appeared. The ‘Cuda was initially a performance option package based on the Formula S option, and later it designated the higher-performance Barracudas. It was available with either the 340 (rated at 275 horsepower) or 383 (rated at 330 hp) or the massive 440 Six-Pack (rated at 390 hp). The Cuda was completely redesigned in 1970 and could now be ordered with the 426 Hemi. For 1970, a special AAR ‘Cuda model came with a 340 Six Pack engine rated at 290 horsepower, upgraded suspension and tires, and a bold graphics package including a flat-black fiberglass hood. The Cuda ended production in 1974.
