You are hung up on the script on the fender. Get over it. The fender script saying it is a "Barracuda" doesn't mean it is not a "cuda". Despite what the script says, any "Barracuda" is a "cuda". Maybe this is an old-timers point of view since we were there in the beginning and younger men only see the fender script.
No, I'm not hung up on anything... just telling you what the manufacturer called me them, officially. You can call 'em whatever you want, and it really isn't bothering this 62 year old.
