I took this picture many years ago and have not found another Barracuda in much better shape. This was a very cool car in its day and my cool Uncle Oscar had one for me to admire. Oscar was an engineer by profession and I’m sure he baught it because it was good value, not because it was “cool”.
The back window was huge. Here is a quote on that aspect of the car.
The fastback body shape was achieved primarily with a giant backlight, which wrapped down to the fender line. Pittsburgh Plate Glass (PPG) collaborated with Chrysler designers to produce this 14.4 ft² (1,33 m²) rear window, the largest ever installed on a standard production car up to that time.
