That Barracuda is the one used in the movie "Corky" starring Robert Blake.
Also known as "Corky's Cuda".
I had never seen the movie or commercial :slap: Thank's.
looks like it should have gotten some Steady Rider shocks while it was in for that Die Hard...
The other winged barracuda I hear Big Willie may still have

This is what the Big Willie Barracuda looks like today. I recently ran an article in the DSAC newsletter on the car and motor home that appeared at Spring Fling in California this year.

That pic of Corky's Cuda was taken at the 2nd or 3rd Chrysler's at Carlisle. :2thumbs:
There is another winged cuda that Bruce was looking for information on. A race car named Excaliber. Anyone have knowledge of this?
Any related info you can provide will ask and take a look
I remember that commerical....I loved it..back in the day...
As soon as I put the tail stripe, cragar S/Ss and glass pack's on my 67 dart GT, my dad wouldn't come near it.... :yesnod:

I am hoping Bruce will stumble on this thread. None of the email addresses I have for him work. I think it had the hood scoops of the 69 440 cuda with a tunnel ram and dual fours. The engine may have been from Big Daddy Don. I was looking for the Die Hard commercial because I thought Excaliber may have been the car used but it is clear that the Corky car was the TV car.
Pettybird your inbox is full. I am sure I worked with that guy in your last photo when I painted watertowers lol.
:lol:
So whats the consensus if one was to make a clone of Corky's Cuda.......less than favorable like the Dartona or?

I remember watching this Commercial on tv back in 1975. A few years ago I went looking on YOU TUBE for it but could not find it. I remember about 15 years ago it was for sale in something like Auto Trader Magazine. All I remember was it was for sale in Indiana & price was cheap I thought. I wanted it but no funds. LEON.
As I sit at my Computer here is the Poster I got on the wall to my left. LEON.

Mark Antons Corky car
The Unknown Comic dog.
Just realized the actor who plays the father in that commercial plays one of the grandfathers in Sixteen Candles whose car was taken by their exchange student Long Duck Dong .
Great scene as grandpa asks Long "Where is my automobile ? " ...
