A custom Barracuda concept from 2007
Dodge boss - and Chrysler's chief designer - Ralph Gilles hinted last week that the legendary Plymouth Barracuda muscle car could be set for a revival.
Speaking at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, Gilles said that Chrysler is "seriously thinking of how to revive the Plymouth Barracuda."
"There's a lot of pressure on us to bring the 'Cuda back," Said Gilles at the recent Las Vegas custom car show. "The customers have (been) stomping their feet for it."
There's only one problem - the Plymouth brand was killed off in 2001. So if the 'Cuda were to make a comeback it would have to do so under the Chrysler brand.
The platform wouldn't be a problem, however; like its 1970s 'E-body' predecessors, a new Barracuda would almost certainly be based on the Dodge Challenger.
