Other were listed as "Hemi Barracuda", is "'Cuda" just a nickname or was it the real model name? |

Hemi 'Cuda was the actual name given to Hemi-powered versions of the Barracuda. They even have "'Cuda" badges on the rear panel. Hemi Barracuda is not strictly correct. |

Yep, thats right. But not every Cuda is necessarily equipped with a Hemi. Cudas where even built with the "small" 340cid engine. "Cuda" stands for the sporty version of the Barracuda. Chrysler decided to take the name on, beacuse earlier Barracudas where cold that way by there drivers. If you want compare it to the sister model from Dodge, the Challenger, it would be a Challenger R/T (Road and Track). Feel free to check it out on this nice page www.cuda71.com ![]() |

This 'Cuda has the dual-scooped standard 'Cuda hood, which rules out a Hemi engine. Hemi 'Cudas came with Shaker hoods standard, whereas Shakers were optional on 340, 383, and 440 'Cudas. Oddly enough, Dodge Challenger R/Ts all had the Shaker as optional, including Hemi models. |

What a gorgeous car man. I would become rigid, possibly catatonic with awe-stricken glee if I ever saw this beauty in person! |

If you could see the stripe on the back, It would have the engine size in it, 340, 383, 440 or Hemi |

Dual-scooped hood automatically rules out a Hemi...1970 and 1971 Hemi Cudas came standard with Shaker scoops. |
