Fortunately, the beloved third-generation Plymouth Barracuda, along with its icing-on-the-cake Cuda incarnation, were brought to life in both Coupe and Convertible form. However, the contraption that brought us here makes for a totally different kind of open-air Cuda.
We're talking about a Cuda Roadster here, and it's worth noting that the vehicle comes in single-seater form. As the drag strip lovers among you have figured out, we're talking about a Pro Mod racecar here.
This explains the tubular chassis, as well as the elongated body, which is quite different to the one used by the actual Cuda (for one, there are no doors here).
Nevertheless, resemblance is strong enough to deserve a round of applause. And, this is even more true when we zoom in on the little details of the car, such as the badge adorning the rear end of the hood scoop, which, by the way, is allowed in the said class.
Speaking of which, this is one of the naturally aspirated Pro Modified racecars, which means the soundtrack of the thing is as delightful as it gets.
The build comes from Quitin Brothers Auto and Performance and Larry Jeffers Race Cars, with the machine having surfaced on Facebook just yesterday.
"Has been a lot of work.. but take a look at this!! We are so proud of how this work of art came out. Huge thanks to everyone that helped this build come together! Now time for some racing!" said Cole Quintin.
Now, if you don't spend your days talking about the prepped surface, but the said name still rings a bell, it might be thanks to the famous stolen-and-crashed Dodge Challenger displayed at least year's SEMA show, which came from the said brothers.
And since we’re talking about the Barracuda, keep in mind that the rumors about this resurfacing are alive and kicking. However, the nameplate could arrive as a Convertible Dodge, possibly as part of the next generation of Dodge muscle cars, which are set to land from 2023 onward.
