Chrysler entered the pony car market with the capable but unlovely Barracuda in the early 1960s, challenging Ford's Mustangs and General Motors' Camaros. The car was refined over the years and soon grew into a true muscle car, and a rather handsome one at that. But it wasn't until the advent of the E-body pony cars from 1970 to 1974 Barracudas, the Dodge Challenger, and the Plymouth 'Cuda—that Chrysler became a true player in the pony-car market. Tearing down the dragstrips and tracks of America, the Mopar name soon stood for pure horsepower and speed. This book tells the story of Chrysler's pony car series, from the advent of the original Barracuda in 1964 to the final days of the smog-motored Challengers and 'Cudas of the mid-1970s, focusing on the series' heyday in the early 1970s. Acclaimed author and photographer Robert Genat tells the story of Chrysler's E-body family of muscle cars—their performance, development, and racing history—with a well-researched text and over 200 color photos, making this an essential volume for any muscle car lover.
