What’s the attraction?

Pretty funny. You had a 68 Dart and you call early Barracudas ugly. Barracuda was and is the top of the line. Price, interior, and aerodynamics. Best of all, they had a MOPAR drive train. And you wonder why people insulted an insulting person. I would not call a Dart ugly, but I'd never trade a Barracuda for one.

While I love the two Mopars we have, if I had to choose between one of them, the '68 would stay. Not only have we had it longer, I like the Dart better, but there are parts of the Barracuda I like better (the dash).

BUT, in the end with both here and when both are done I'll probably choose to drive the Barracuda more because it's not as rare and has a 440 instead of a 340...
