      Mark, you are off the charts defensive and not fair in how you are dealing with this guy. If you put your ego to the side you guys should be great friend. You would rather try and manufacture the idea that he is not as good with the details and try and trick him and give he no time to give his answers to make him look bad. Time to grow up.

    I believe there were three 1972 Barracuda/Cuda convertibles delivered to the TV studios. One was for the Brady Bunch, one for Mannix and the third was for The Doris Day Show. Chysler/Plymouth sponsored these shows. I understood these cars were retrofitted with 72 taillights, but they were really 1971's. I own the 1969 Barracuda convertible that Doris Day drove on her show in Season 2 and was on the opening credits of Seasons 2-5.

    They say there is a few Cudas from the Orginal Phantasm film that still are out there today. I still shed a tear each time I watch that Cuda get sacrificed for Don Coscarelli on the set of Phantasm 2.

    Damn all the Cudas... Just gimme that '74/'75 D100. I had a blue '74 D100 Custom that was a 318 2barrel truck and I put a 4 barrel on it for a couple months and I was smitten... To the point I put a 440 in it and tubbed it... Also had a white '75 D100 adventurer that I was gonna lift but ended up selling both trucks. I will always regret selling the '74. A lot of work and money went into it that I'll never get back. The memories I'll always have though...

    Let me tell you why I remember the Brady bunch car.
    I was born in 1970. Convertibles had gone away by the time I was old enough to know what cars even were. I don't know when they stop making them, I don't know why they stop making them. But by 1975 or so, when I was starting be old enough to understand things, convertibles did not exist.
    But we had reruns of the Brady bunch after school everyday. I remember the day I saw that car, and I thought it was the neatest thing in the world, because I had never seen a convertible before. To me, as a kid, convertibles were from antiquity, from a time "before I was born," and a thing of the past that I would never know in real life.
    Of course, we all know convertibles came back later. But that's how it seemed to me when I saw that car.
    Of course I didn't know enough about cars yet to know that it was a cuda. My dad even had a Challenger, but I was five. I only found out that car was a cuda when I watched another video, from another guy, who thinks he owns it now (He's pretty sure, but he didn't say he was certain) And he referenced this video when he was doing the walk around on it.

    Take a real good look at the picture where Mike is pushing the wagon. If you zoom in on the rear panel on the Barracuda, you will see that the car is a 1971. The second car was in fact a ‘72.

      It's not hard, when you deal with them for a living. I was a mechanic at a Chrysler dealer in the late 70s. I didn't know all of them, but knew all the VIN break downs. I would go to the parts counter, to get a part I needed for a car, and the parts guy would rattle off the part number for a good number of parts, without opening the parts book.
