"Sport speciality car"?
Never heard that one before!
In the second clip, do you guys think it will be worth more after restoration? 26000 mile car! How much more can you buff it up?
I hate to o see a factory assembled car in a good condition all disassembled and ripped apart, it's a shame.

Sport Specialty car may mean the Cuda vs Barracuda model.

 

[budascuda]

Na.... I don't think so,
If it said sport specialty " MODEL " then I would say yes, its Cuda vs Barracuda.

The 71 car & equipment book only lists 4 Cudas. Barracuda 6& 8 , grand coupe & cuda. Cuda came standard with 383 4bbl. Gran coupe with 318 and all other engines were options. Cuda had more standard options than Gran Coupe. I still think Cuda was specialty car. Could be a toss up.

The nail in the coffin is the Car line code, the Gran Coupe is a BP23 & Cuda is a BS23.
BP is premium & the BS is Specialty. So as everyone else, I never heard the term Specialty car, but it is broken down in the parts catalog. I do have a BS 71 Cuda.

Oh I hate getting in trouble with Joey again over arguing with the members, BUT, even though I am an esl....., I can clearly hear the commentator opening with this line,
"Chrysler plymouth sport specialty car, the BARRACUDA......"
Which according to your line of reasoning should have been
"Chrysler plymouth sport specialty car, the CUDA...."
Now, I am right on this one, I didn't even need a crowbar to take the nails out of the coffin, Hehehehe

Hey have you guys seen the coffin dance compilations?
they are "funny specialty videos"
