Why are there no Plymouth cuda's and Plymouth barracuda's left today?

Answer 1

There are...If you mean old Cuda's, on the road... The bean counters at Chrysler corp. were thief's, they basically liquidated the company very quickly starting in 1970, as R and D budgets dropped so did the quality of the Chrysler product line. With the fuel crisis of the early 70's demanding new product to compete in the car market, and no money to meet that demand Chrysler would eventually go belly up, only to be saved by a government bail out. It was a culture of chaos. A management that was gutless to stand up to the corporate earnings reports, and wall streets greedy bilkers, and didn't have the will to make the hard decisions necessary during those dark days of recession. More money found a trail to place like studio 54, and up accountant noses, than went into innovation for the changing American market. At one point Chrysler's inability to create a viable catalytic converter, that actually functioned almost caused the EPA to throw a wrench in the Chrysler machine.
