The 1974 Barracuda was the last of the great Plymouth pony cars. Changes were absence for 1974 with the exception of the engine options. The performance designed 340ci small block was replaced with a 360ci engine. The change was directly related to fuel economy and the larger engine actually saw a decrease in performance.
The legacy of the Barracuda will live on in the new 2008 Dodge Challenger. One look at the new Challenger and it is obvious that it takes more of its styling cues from the ‘Cuda than it does from its namesake.
