No, the 1969 A12 cars had front fender antennas. Perhaps that’s where the problem was noticed?

YES that's where the problem was noticed. I have a copy of a complaint letter from an A12 Road Runner owner from Western Pennsylvania to Chrysler about the AM radio interference. They sent a tech guy to his Pittsburgh and he hand wrote on the Chrysler reply letter from customer service "They moved my antenna to the rear fender". Found the letter and talked to that owner when I got my A12 RR with the antenna also moved to the right rear fender (Y4 Gold A12 RR rear fender antenna image). I have a half dozen or so images of A12 Bees and RR's with rear mounted antennas. There is also a tech tip document from Mopar Canada with the tip to "Line the underside of the fiberglass hood with "tin foil" to minimize the RF interference. .

I would guess that the problem was discovered on the A12 cars.
Corvettes were that way forever, plus a bunch of metal shielding over the distributor & wires.

That may be the ugliest Barracuda I've seen - if there's a worse one, I don't need to see it

sorry cudan't resist

Yeah, I guess I was askin' for it with that comment...

(With all the amazing work that guy did, I'm still amazed they missed the disproportions on the roof & side glass.)

Maybe its target market was for taxi or Limo use, which would be about right?
On the Op's pic, those red rear drums are the cherry on top for me.

i guess my old noggin was correct this time on front fender B-body antennae placement.
thanks PAC.

The roof looks even worse from that angle! I think I threw up in my mouth!

It's a different generation but i was never impressed with the Fireball 500 Barracuda. Not one of George Barris's better builds.

This red 4 door cuda just needs to go away forever.

I still like the fireball 500 barracuda much better that this cuda.
