You are luckier than I am. I find the missing part AFTER I buy one.   :headbang:

:iagree:  I often forget I have the part already and go buy one, then find it when I'm looking for something else.   :bricks:

Correct, 1971 only, all Cuda and Barracuda models. The cast pot metal emblem was chrome plated and Cudas should have a multi layer insert that has a black background color and silver lettering. This same casting was used for many applications for many years  (not all were 1971) they just changed the insert to the application. So far all of the reproductions Ive seen were a cast metal and were painted, no insert as originals. In other words, if you have a highly detailed car you'll want to spend the money for an original (Yes, rare and expensive). .02

You'd think they could make a "foil" type insert like the 71-74 dash emblems easy enough... :alan2cents:

The insert was a multi layer sandwich of materials which used a now obsolete process, the top layer being a clear protective film. Doing an exact replica would be challenging.

I've bought plenty of times not remembering or finding the part I already had, I'm having it polished at the moment, then going to have it painted but not sure of the correct black yet

Currently in the process of reproducing these with Classic Industries.  They are, by far, having the most accurate emblems of any kind being reproduced today.

I've rounded up x1 of my own, Classic needs x3.  Don't need perfect, a tab can be broken off.  I will replace your sample with a new emblem, free of course.

Cuda Cody

I hope we can get you the 2 needed so these emblems get made!!  :banana:
