One of the rarest Cudas’ ever to exist is unfortunately in a sad sorry state but there’s something weird about it

This used to be a Plymouth Cuda.

Most of it is gone, and we only have part of the chassis and some body panels.

It’s a shame because it was actually quite rare.

What makes it worse is the weird way the car was damaged.

A Plymouth Cuda in a super rare color

The car was discovered by the guys from the Backyard Barn Finds YouTube channel.

They’re clearly very good at this.

As you can see from the clip, the car is totally unrecognizable, and yet they were able to deduce so much based on what they were seeing.

They say it was a factory billboard car and, weirdly, most of the damage was done by a forklift truck.

They were also able to tell it’s a 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda based on the grille, and it’s a convertible.

It was also finished in one of the rarest colors ever for a Plymouth, a shade of green which the company called Sassy Grass Green.

About the Plymouth Barracuda

The Plymouth Barracuda is an American icon.

Cuda, sometimes stylized in all caps, CUDA, was actually a designation for high-performance models but it is also sometimes used as a nickname for other Barracudas.

The Cuda/Barracuda It’s one of those cars that’s both rare, and also not rare at all.

It isn’t rare, because Plymouth built tens of thousands a year across three generations and a decade.

But it is also rare, because Plymouth built so many different variants, and some of them were extremely limited in terms of production.

For example, a while back, somebody found a rare 1971 model in a barn, one of only 1,168 made in that spec, with that gearbox.

Fun fact: Lando Norris rocked up to the U.S. Grand Prix driving a modified 1973 Plymouth Barracuda.
