The Shaker was only an option for 'Cudas (fender tag code: N96). Only the Hemi 'Cudas left the factory with Shaker hoods everytime. For them it was standart. Challenger customers had to order the Shaker also for the Hemi, no Challenger had the Shaker automatically. The 'Cuda (Barrett-Jackson) you're talking about is a 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda Convertible (1 of 11). 440 Six-Pack Convertibles are also very expensive but not that much. Recordholder is an Alpine white '71 export (France) Hemi 'Cuda Convertible (1 of 2 export cars): It was sold for 4.1 mio $

Takumi 2010-10-29 13:28	C'est vrai, ça ma pas semblé logique, mais il doit y avoir un block intermédiaire, le début d'entrée de game 'cuda et donc le plus puissant de la gamme barracuda.
DodgeHemi426 2010-10-29 13:20	@ Takumi? Sept moteurs? Je pense Plymouth a vendu seulement six pour le 'Cuda (1970, 1971 seulement cinq): 340, 340-6bbl (AAR, 1970), 383, 440, 440-6bbl et le fameux Hemi.
Takumi 2010-10-29 12:59	Refonte totale, la Barracuda n'est plus basée sur le vieillissant châssis A-Body, mais sur le tout nouveau châssis E-Body sportif de la Dodge Challenger. Visiblement inspirée par la ligne en bouteille de Coca-Cola de la Chevrolet Camaro, le nouveau E-Body se veut beaucoup plus attrayant. Cependant, les ventes ne seront jamais au niveau des précédentes. La marque divisa la Barracuda en trois versions : Barracuda : version de base, équipée du L6 ou d'un petit V8. Peu d'options disponibles. Gran Coupé : version « luxe », motorisation disponible similaire à la version de base mais beaucoup d'options de confort et d'ornementation disponibles (enjoliveurs, decals discrets, chromes). 'Cuda : version « sport », le muscle car comme on l'imagine. Moteurs puissant et options sport (aileron, decals,...) Barracuda et 'Cuda étaient dès lors deux concepts différents, 'Cuda étant la version sportive. Sept V8 étaient disponibles, dont le fameux 426 Hemi. Les voitures équipées de ce moteur et du 440 « Six Pack » étaient dotées d'une suspension haute performance. Les Barracuda de base et Gran Coupé avaient un capot plat, alors que les 'Cuda se voyaient affublées de deux entrées d'air non fonctionnelles. Le célèbre « Shaker » était une option sur toutes les 'Cuda, c'était une pièce fonctionnelle fixée sur le moteur et qui vibrait avec lui d'où son nom.

The fast ones were just called 'Cuda (340, 383, 440, 440-6, 426 c.i.). It has nothing to do with the year they have come out, it was just performance marketing ("the 'Cudas are too fast, you don't have enough time to speak out the entire name"). The first Barracuda that was sold as a 'Cuda was the '69 'Cuda 440 (rare!). But there were also e.g. '71 Plymouth Gran Barracudas. And this Hemi 'Cuda is definitely a 'Cuda!

Edit: "The high-performance models were marketed as 'Cuda deriving from the 1969 option." So its correct to call this a Cuda as it uses the HEMI which was the high performance version. So this was right called a Cuda? Argh, now i´ll have to undo everything.

ShantJ 2010-10-28 23:42	There is no such thing as a Plymouth "'Cuda." It's simply a nickname. imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Plymouth&model=Barracuda&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=2028&width=1280 -- Last edit: 2010-10-28 23:45:43
