Yeah I was at a parts store and they were talking about a purple 68 camero :bigsmile: then they saw my car and said it looked like a camero. 70 barracuda. When I had my challenger that v844 bought from me, I was told nice charger quite a bit.  Even b body mopar guys say at times that it resembles a charger in a lot of ways, but I told them a challenger was made before a 71 charger and they got it backwards :2thumbs:

Yea when someone sees my barracuda and says it is a charger,  but it is good to inform them of what it really is.  I hope they learn something new about our mopars.
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 am in West Point Mississippi.  Wish I was in Birmingham with the family.  They are coming to see me next weekend so that will be great.  I hope we get to meet when I am on leave with the company at least.  Anyway we can meet when I get back from Iraq.  I am looking forward to meeting as many of the members as I can after I get back and get my car restored.

So far my Challenger has been called a Charger, Cuda, Mustang, Camaro, Chevelle, and GTO.  Maybe it's the primer.

One time someone asked me if it had a 350 or 454.   :smilielol:

Yup, I get Charger all the time too. :-\ I think a lot has to do with the emblems. They spot the italic "Challenger" and IMO only register the "Cha####ger" and being as though most non-car folk know of Chargers like the General Lee and Bullett etc, they must immediately think and say, "Charger". :2cents:
