Correct Cuda Tail Panel Color?

[zerfetzen]

I see a lot of 70-74 Cuda's with the tail panel painted the same color as the body.  Did this happen?     Was it a difference between a Barracuda and Cuda?  I was under the impression that they were all argent black.  Someday soon I'll repaint my 74 Barracuda, might clone it to a Cuda, and want to get it right.  Thanks.

I'm not sure about the 70 and 71's, but the '72 through '74 were painted body color for the Barracuda and Flat black for the Cuda models. The other difference is the "Cuda emblem on the back panel.

I beleive all four years of the cuda were painted SATIN BLACK.

70 & 71 Cudas had the blacked out tail panels. They're not argent black, it's another name, ora...... something I forget.
