the 4dr Barracuda

yeah, yeah ... most of us have heard it all already. but here it is. its not for everyone, but kudos to the builder for doing something different.

Had a chance to look it over really good.  Like I've said before, it's not something I would do but I can appreciate all the custom work that went in to it.  It's pretty amazing what he went through to do that car.  I applaud him.

Some photos of Dave showing me some of the finer engineering details.

Cool car for sure!  Thanks for posting.

All i got to say about the 4 dr cuda is Thank God they didnt make it

So who owns it?

[Cuda Cody]

David Walden of ECS built it and owns it.

Perhaps he was inspired by the modern Charger.  I can't imagine a 4 door second gen charger but the barracuda actually looks pretty cool.

He may have been influenced by the Chrysler broshure that showed a 4 door ebody cuda that was never made!  I have to applaud him as well . ..  certainly something I could never do!

When the pictures firs came out a few months ago, I did not like the looks of it at all, and wondered why they did not go with a hardtop configuration, which would have been much more in character with the sporty Barracuda line... there was a drawing of something like that floating around, and it looked much better to my eye...

I asked Dave and while he also agreed, the reason they went to a sedan roofline, is availability, as they had to use existing windows (from a B-Body sedan in this case), so they would not need to get custom glass done, which could have doubled the project cost!

Still do not like it very much, but I applaud the effort and perseverance...

I agree with you @Cuda Cody , yes it is a one of a kind, and great fab work, I just would not go this route.

I read the article and gave it a look on Sunday (when I could finally get out of my vendor spot for a bit).  I loved the detail and work that wnet into it.  Definitely different and unusual.  I agree with the others, while cool because it's different, I'm glad it was never a production car.

There is just something about the roofline that does not work for me.  I respect the work it took to build it, but its just not for me.

As a guy that has had to mount and load two child cars seats in the back of a Cuda daily for some time...that car would have been a back saver!  Too late for me though!

Lot of effort. Not for me either

Wood grain billboards would have been funny.
