Which 'Cuda is better? AutoHunter Cinema compares the performance version of the 1970 Barracuda to the facelifted 1971 model.

The car show and its parade takes place around the Fourth of July and attracts hundreds of cars and thousands of spectators. One Mopar in particular caught my mom's eye and she reached out to its proud owner for some information. Thanks, Mom! Jayden Hawker of Wellsville, Utah, is a young man with a vision.
