I have a picture of a fender tag from a member on Cuda-Challenger.com that has an FE5 Red BH Barracuda that is coded with A22 and M88, i will try to find it.

I had a 1970 FE5 Barracuda coded with A22 that was built in LA

I can post the fender tag later today.

Proof of the elusive A22 Barracuda

Where's that car based? About 20 years ago, I saw a 318 BH23 with A22 at a gas station in Hopewell, NJ.

It's spent all it's life in the Roseville/Sacramento California area.

Thanks!

Any time

Erik R asked for some photographic evidence of the elusive A22 Barracuda. Here it is in probably the summer of 1988.

The car was wearing it's original paint and you can clearly see that the tail panel is in Organisol Black. The looked just like a cuda other than having a flat hood.

The sad thing is that back then these were just parts cars. This thing had rust free quarters and they were thrown away because no one wanted them out here in CA.

Lets try saving it as a picture, because we are all lazy

Thanks Chris!

The tail panel is clearly has the blackout and I can see holes for where the M88 trim was.

This may be the only picture of an original paint 1970 A22 Barracuda that exists. What's also great is that you parted the car yourself and were knowledgeable enough about the options so that you took notice and remembered that the car was optioned this way.

On the old board when the A22 Barracuda topic came up there was some good discussion and some pics of the Bill Evans 70 Barracuda and the FK5 convertible that Ola posted a picture of. I'll try to dig those out and post.

So now I can count you Chris (Morty426), Vlad (YYZ), Dwight (m46rat) and Dan (6bblgt) that have seen A22 Barracuda's and confirm that the had they had 4pc M88 trim and tail panel blackout.

Many other long time Mopar guys I talk to swear that an A22 Barracuda or any Barracuda for that matter never got the tail panel blackout (excluding M46 and Netherlands cars) so it's surprising to me that this A22 option package on a base BH23 or BH27 Barracuda is not more well known, but again I think that's because maybe not too many of these cars in the first place and not many folks taking notice of them? I don't know but I'm still really interested in finding a survivor car and additional photographic proof.

Also note that Morty426's Barracuda also has the 'Cuda style belt mouldings which appeared to have been part of the A21 and A22 packages

Everything about it was 'cuda other than the hood and drivetrain.
