I’ve had a 66 Barracuda for the last 30 years, and they’ve always been called early A bodies, why would you expect them to change the name of this sub forum to suit your opinion?
Follow the herd? When I first got my 66, I was literally the only one buying parts, guys at the Nats and other swap meets we’re specifically bringing me early Cuda parts, because they knew I would buy them. Heck, at one time, I had 14 sets of 66 taillights! Following the herd was not what I was doing, I was one of the very few in the herd.
