1973 Barracuda

  • The 1973 Barracuda was identical to the 1972 Barracuda.
  • The four barrel carburetor was dropped from the option list. The only engine choices were a 318ci V8 and the 340ci V8. Both came with two barrel carburetors.
  • The 1973 cuda was one of the few remaining performance cars. But event the might cuda took a performance hit.

The addition of mandated 5mph bumper guards was the only changes to the 1973 Barracuda. Nevertheless, sales increased slightly, largely the result of heavy promotion and the discounting of option prices. The six cylinder engine was dropped this year and the 340ci small block was only available with a two barrel carburetor.
