I'll believe it when I see an actual car with that name on it.

This was beat up six months ago. I'm surprised Hot Rod is just now reporting it.

FWIW, it could all be related to marketing repop items and have nothing to do with a new vehicle.

I'm sure when they finally make a real modern barracuda that the car will be an insult to the original.




Decent job on the challenger.

I'll believe it when I see them on the lot. Besides I always thought/heard Dan Gurney owns the rights?  :dunno:

                  Toxicwolf told me he heard Don Garlits owned the rights.    :clueless:              :rebel:

OK, I just reread the article, the Barracuda was double filed, maybe that was Garlits.   :dunno:
