Hey Topcat,

I got the yellow & Blue Modtop 'Cudas for Christmas.  I could tell you about some Mod top E-body cars that would make your head spin.  Their is a whole web site dedicated for just Mod Top Mopars,  I think it is Moores mopars.  I will have to check though. :faint:

Me also at the dealership I worked at they sold one at least that I know of.
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

I also am a big fan of the Mod Top 'Cuda E-body Mopars. :drool:

I know a guy in Florida that has a factory 383 'Cuda wich is TX9 Black with X9 Black interior and Blue Mod Top Vinyl roof, very nice guy by the name of Karl Smith. :biggrin:

Also know of a F8 Green Hemi Mod Top 'Cuda with Skaker and Yellow Mod Top Vinyl roof, the only Mod Top Hemi known and it is own by Steven Juliano, another very nice guy. :biggrin:

I'm interested in production numbers on them if anyone knows. Less than the M46 option?

Apparently their were only 84 Plymouth Barracuda & 'Cuda Mod Tops available in total.

Very rare car to come by.

This 84 production number is for E-body Barracuda only, No Challengers were available with a Mod Top. :chatting:
