Barracuda approved for product launch
« on: April 01, 2010 - 05:05:34 PM »
 :clapping:
The 2012 Chrysler Barracuda had been approved for production!

The first vintage Barracuda shells will be available to select Mopar authorized dealers and dealer networks. Only 10 will be built the first year, with 30 orders approved for the following year.
Each car will be hand built and fixtured at an unnammed idled plant starting in Dec 2011.
So far only a total of 120 cars are scheduled.
MSRP is 17500 for a BIW.

Mr Norms Cuda cars will also be available to select dealerships.
There is no MSRP detailed.

Thought you should know!

GLAD to hear it's an April Fool's joke.  :stirpot:

I had to do something for April Fools. I'm sure glad I got a few.


Of course I would announce any news pertinent to this forum when it was deemed appropriate.
