Overview

The 1970-1974 Plymouth Barracuda and Dodge Challenger are placed under the microscope in this detailed volume, which provides the facts, figures, and features of Chrysler’s E-Body brutes.

In The Definitive Barracuda & Challenger Guide: 1970-1974, seasoned journalist Scott Ross unearthed new information from the key personnel involved in designing, engineering, and building these legendary pony cars. He delivers comprehensive engine, transmission, and interior options as well as essential trim package and color code information. You learn the bottom line on original equipment packages and options.

The 1970-1974 Plymouth Barracudas and Dodge Challengers are compact, lightweight, and extremely powerful cars; some are considered to be the greatest Mopar muscle cars of the era.

The E-Body platform was Chrysler's response to the competition from the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro. Today, the E-Body Barracudas and Challengers are some of the most valuable and popular vehicles ever built.

Ross covers Special Edition, R/T, Gran Coupe, and Rapid Transit System packages. And of course, the preeminent models in the lineup, the Hemi ’Cuda, Challenger 440 Six Pack, AAR ’Cuda, and Challenger TA are covered extensively. The large options list (and which options were available on which cars) is examined in great detail, which will greatly assist you with authentication.

If you have been searching for the comprehensive story and vital options information for these classic Barracudas and Challengers, you don't need to look any further.
