Has anyone on here owned or does own a GB7 Cuda? Also, have you ever seen one with factory billboards?

I know a member who has a GB7 71 Cuda not sure on the Billboard though. I will PM you.

Are you looking for the Mopars in The Park show? One of every color 71 Cuda?

Greetings. Wes here with Mopars in the Park. 2024 will be our 40th annual car show and we're looking to do something big. Our goal is to have a '71 Cuda on display in every factory color. To make it more challenging, we're looking to drill down a bit deeper and have each car be a factory V6W or V6X car. We know the challenges this presents but want to put in our best effort to make this happen.

The show will be May 31-June 2 with move in day on May 30th. The show is held in Stillwater, MN.

With word of mouth we've got 4 colors locked in.

FE5 Rallye Red
EV2 Tor Red
GY3 Curious Yellow
GY8 Gold Leaf Metallic

That leaves 15 colors still to locate. If you would like to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime display please send me a PM. Your car must be one that's not been secured so far.

FYI - We pulled off the nearly impossible in 2019. We had 24 1969 Plymouth Road Runners, all in a different factory color! The display had 15 states and 2 Canadian provinces represented. So don't tell us it can't be done ;-)


*Wes Eisenschenk.* I've been keeping track of 71' GB7 (Evening Blue Metallic) Barracuda's / Cuda's since the early-mid 2000's +-. I have ~ 5 on file, including ours, which is by far the latest known (I didn't say last) / built GB7 Barracuda / Cuda' that I have come across in my limited time tracking them. Galen / Diane in fact, eluded she thought they might of had a tad later built GB7, but never backed up that claim w/ actual info/proof. GB7 was to the best of my knowledge / research cancelled on 11/09/70 in favor of Lemon Twist (not exactly sure where that info derived from, but Diane seemed to concur) w/ rumored to have had 48 Cuda' hardtops (not barracuda's apparently) been produced or something to that effect... I have never heard of or seen a real 71' GB7 Cuda' w/ V6W or V6X. If you find one, let alone another GB7 Barracuda / Cuda', I'd like to hear about it. Best of luck in your search.

Pics seem to garner interest....therefore, I'm making no assertion about either of these cars being "real" cars, GB7 or not etc. I don't know enough about either of them definitively to say one way or the other, w/out speculating. I'm sure other members might chime in w/more info. It's rare to see GB7 in and of itself is why I'm posting and to bring it back up top.

Fake tag on BS23R1B215723.

Barry. You stated what I was sort of eluding to and trying to avoid by going there right off the get go.... The SPD and VIN don't jive IMO for B plant 71' - too early of a SPD and too high of a VIN per the fender tag, but I don't claim to be an expert. SPD of B09 would equate to 11/09/70 which is the (effective?) cancellation date for GB7, supposedly. 71' B plant VIN's in that SPD range are ~ 200xxx +-. You would know better than me with your vast database w/ anomalies etc., but I believe I'm close.

I sent a PM to HurstSC about a members GB7 Cuda never heard a word back from him...

I was able to connect with the owner of that car, which is under restoration.

Does anyone know the story on the B-J car?

The roster is beginning to fill out. Here's what's still outstanding. All cars in the display will be billboard cars. We'll supplement in tribute billboard cars if we can't find real ones.

GB2 Glacial Blue Metallic
GB7 Evening Blue Metallic
GF3 Amber Sherwood Metallic
GF7 Sherwood Green Metallic
FJ6 Sassy Grass Green
GK6 Autumn Bronze Metallic
EL5 Bahama Yellow
GT2 Tunisian Tan Metallic
TX9 Formal Black
FY1 Lemon Twist
GY9 Tawny Gold Metallic

Wes and I have been PMing behind the scenes for quite some time about GB7 cars. We're both vexed by the fact we can't find the BJ completed auction results to the dare I say GB7 340 cuda' I posted weeks ago to log the VIN and fender tag info. Wes, here's that under hood shot & the last unposted pic, but the fender tag / VIN is too distorted to read... Notable: non-a/c automatic car. If anyone knows anything about this car, or other real GB7 cuda's / barracuda's for that matter (I'm particularly interested in continuing to document as many of these as possible) you can post or PM Wes or I. Up to the top we go...

Does anyone know where this cuda in GB7 ended up?
