1973 Plymouth 'Cuda


from Jonathan Welsh: "By 1973 muscle cars were on the way out as insurance and gasoline got expensive. Big blocks like the 426-cubic-inch Hemi disappeared from engine bays of Plymouth and Dodge machines.
Less-powerful versions held on, including the Plymouth Barracuda and its racier 'cuda sibling. We saw this 'cuda in Blue Hill, Maine. It probably has a 318 or 340 V8 under the hood.
Check out the period-perfect aftermarket Cragar wheels!
The color, In Violet, is the same as the Plum Crazy used on hot Dodge models. Other attention-grabbing hues included Go Mango, Panther Pink and Sublime."
