In the 1960s, Chrysler, aiming to stay relevant among competitors Chevrolet and Ford, decided to create a more economical vehicle for the everyday man - the Plymouth Barracuda. This marked the beginning of the muscle pony car era. The name "Cuda" was reserved for the top-performing racing cars built from the third-generation Barracuda, though they shared only this detail. The Hemi V8 with the shaker hood scoop gave this muscle car a fierce appearance against the other pony cars as they competed for the finish line. Considered one of the most sought-after muscle cars in the world, the Cuda refused to compromise its power for emissions, leading to its discontinuation and making it a rare gem.

The Hemi Cuda saw some success racing in the US Trans-Am Series, earning pole positions. Specifically, one of four Hemi Cuda models raced in Europe for Chrysler France.

The car is highly detailed, with a full interior and racer design. It also features working tail lights. The easy-change braid with magnatraction provides a seamless racing experience.
