Early Barracuda Concept Car Pics
« on: April 27, 2012 - 12:18:57 PM »
Some of these I've never seen before, some I've seen only once or twice, and not recently.

This is the Barracuda SX concept. If I recall correctly, I think this was a possibility for the 70 model year, and that Chrysler had hired away the stylist who had a lot of input on the GM a-bodies (Chevelle, Skylark, Cutlass, LeMans). I think you can see a lot of those lines in this one.

This one is an early clay for a Barracuda front treatment.

And a whole bunch of early sketches. I like these a lot. The 68Show image looks a lot like the Charger III.

I've seen these cars before, but not these angles. These were the last concept cars for post 74 Barracudas that, sadly, were not to be.

I think the foreground car there is the Cincinnati car, but I'm not certain of that.
