Barracuda and challenger guide
« on: December 30, 2016 - 02:37:43 PM »
Happy new year to all. I'm reading the new ( The Definitive Barracuda and Challenger guide 1970-1974 book) and I don't know if anyone else got this but I find this very confusing because it seems to change the information quite often and I haven't gotten through 1970 yet! I thought I'd learn a lot but now I'm more confused. LOL . In one chapter it says the challenger has a 3" longer wheelbase and then in the Barracuda section it says the Barracuda is 2" shorter. 420 Hemi? Someone needed a proof reader! At least the pictures are pretty.

Other than the pretty pictures in most of those books, the Service Manual has the most correct information.

Thanks for the feedback! I was going to buy it to learn about E-bodies but inconsistencies drive me bonkers!
