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.

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?
