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?

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.

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.
