Anyone reproduce M46 Scoops Barracuda scoops?

It does not have to be original, fiberglass is OK because it isn't going onto a show or resto car.

I have googled and looked but can't find a source.

Thanks

I believe Scott Harms reproduced them.
You might try calling him. Maybe there is another set around.
Otherwise, no one else has.

I saw a post where he was going to reproduce them but I didn't see them on his web site.

I will contact him but I don't need a show quality repop and he only does quality work. I just need a cool scoop for a street car.

Anybody know how many cars actually came with those? I’ve seen two cars, and I’ve looked at easily 500 different Plymouth e bodies over the years.

Those are mega rare!

I wonder how many were removed and trashed because people thought it was an aftermarket add-on.

The first time I saw them was in 80’s and I remember looking and thinking JC Whitney... they looked like you could just tear them off with one hand.

I doubt many people checked off M46 on the option box, and it appears that Plymouth didn’t put them on sales-bank cars either!

Just my opinion but they look out of place and stuck on as an afterthought. If it didn't come with them I'd leave them off.

Didn't know what they were so I had to look them up. Never seen them before in 40 years of looking at Cuda's. Pretty subtle but I think I'd go without.

supposedly there were 433 made with these scoops.

I have 23 on record at this time in my personal registry. Planning on putting up a web page at some point.

If anyone has any interest in these, here is most of the information I have about these cars.

That’s really cool Cuda hunter! 433.....pretty rare. Certainly it’s an item that as a car deteriorates, they tend to disappear. What do you know about some m46 cars getting the lower body blackout (and stripe line) and others just getting regular paint?

AS far as I know there were none produced with no lower black out paint or stripes.
Some did however appear to have gotten standard argent grills. However I think they were supposed to get the blacked out grill's.

I've been looking for an example of the blue and white stripe from the beginning of my hunting and have yet to even see an example.
Mopar calls out both red and white stripe and blue and white stripe.

Do you know of an example with no black out from the factory?

Unfortunately, rare doesn't mean valuable. As they are lowly bh cars with only 383's, 318's and /6's they are usually cut up to save BS cars.

Of the two cars I saw, one had the blackout and one was regular paint, but I have know way of knowing if the regular paint wasn’t simply a repaint.

I remember thinking the lower blackout would be REALLY handy for rust repair.....no need to paint the whole car!

If I ever see another I’m going to pay more attention and ask more questions.

Right in front of the rear wheels, all the way down low. They weren’t offered on Cuda’s cause Cuda’s got the rocker gills. And maybe also cause they are just too cheesy for a Cuda.

They are simulated brake ducts.
