An FE5 Red Challenger T/A (JH23J0B296662) sold at Mecum Kissimmee 2026 for $143,000 on Friday, January 16th, 2026. This was a well-optioned T/A with the extremely, rare A44 Louvers & H5X9 Houndstooth Interior, A62 Rally Instruments, C16 Console, D21 4-Speed, G36 Dual Racing Mirrors, and R35...

There is a visceral experience driving a 4-Speed (or 5-Speed) E-Body with Hurst Pistol Grip. So much better with the close-ratio TKX 0.68 overdrive 5th gear and hydraulic clutch.

I just received the similar fuel cap today (1/9/26). It fits and will work. To the aftermarket: Find or make us a repro cap for a reasonable price!

Ray's car is a 1970 Cuda 340 Automatic with Standard Instrument Cluster. I agree with those who are checking electrical/charging system issues. Loss of Alternator/Battery power to the electrical system and ignition. The 1970 Barracuda full electrical diagram is helpful for troubleshooting.

I was looking at the Lost Muscle Cars Group on Facebook and happened upon this 1971 Cuda 340 Shaker 4-Speed (BS23H1B222437). About 11 years ago (~2014), a previous owner posted on this group saying he was looking for this Cuda so I responded with what I know about the car. I also found out via a...

That cap, while not visually correct, seems to be the right size (1-1/2" opening). I may consider getting that one. Here are some details on the 1970 filler neck opening dimensions for reference. There has got to be a more visually correct Stant, Gates, or MotoRad cap out there. The cap must be...

What is the Dash VIN? After a little enhancement (result below), removing the pixelation via blurring, the actual crisp imprints of each numeral reveal it is most likely as Cuda Hunter determined, 425482. EDIT: OP posted the other VINs (Dash, Door Decal, Fender Tag) are all 425492 so this is a...

I do not know about the Auto Custom Carpets fitment but the OER carpet kit ME600501 from Classic Industries fit perfectly in the area giving you problems. Even the rear section was a tight fit in that area before the front section was installed at the overlapped area.

For the original OP, a Broadcast Sheet is like a birth certificate and a fender tag is like a detailed ID card. Essentially, the bona fides for the car. Any E-Body is better with these items and the fender tag’s absence is detrimental no matter the model. Repro fender tags can be had for far...

Ask and you shall receive. WESCO Seat Belts* *XV Motorsports sold Wesco belts but used the XV logo on the release buttons.

I think it is cool that the car was scheduled in the last days of production. More discussion on a competing forum. The unique seat option of P5X9 is discussed there as well.

PM sent.

One the last 1970 Cudas built is advertised for sale in New York. VIN BS23H0B438707 with a Scheduled Production Date (SPD) of 730 (July 30, 1970) would possibly have been built on the last day of production. SPDs are not exact but this is a very, very, late 1970 Cuda. Previous info from expert...

The standard rear gear ratio for the AARs was 3.55 with 3.91 optional. All AARs with the rear window louver package cars required the V1X - Vinyl Top, Black. No exceptions. Challenger T/As could option the louvers without a vinyl top.
