Plymouth Barracuda 1971 HEMI Cuda — The Ultimate Muscle Car
The 1971 Plymouth Barracuda HEMI Cuda is one of the most coveted and valuable muscle cars in automotive history. With only 108 HEMI Cuda convertibles produced in 1971, surviving examples regularly sell for millions at auction. This GTA 5 add-on mod brings this legendary machine to Los Santos with a meticulously detailed 3D model that captures every aggressive line and distinctive feature of the original — from the shaker hood scoop to the wide rear haunches and chrome bumpers.
Model Quality
The high-detail exterior accurately represents the third-generation Barracuda's muscular proportions. Features include the iconic shaker hood scoop that protrudes through the hood, dual exhaust tips, proper chrome trim and bumper details, period-correct Rallye wheels, and accurately modeled body panel gaps. The interior features the pistol-grip shifter, woodgrain dashboard trim, bucket seats, and full gauge cluster. Multiple color options include the famous Plum Crazy Purple, Lemon Twist Yellow, and Hemi Orange.
Performance & Sound
Handling data reflects the HEMI Cuda's legendary powerplant — the 426 cubic inch (7.0L) HEMI V8 producing 425 horsepower. The car pulls hard through the gears with massive low-end torque, accompanied by a thunderous V8 exhaust note that echoes off buildings as you cruise through Los Santos. The rear-wheel-drive handling is appropriately tail-happy, making burnouts and power slides an ever-present temptation.
Installation
Add-on vehicle installed via OpenIV into mods/update/x64/dlcpacks/. Add to dlclist.xml and spawn using any trainer. Perfect alongside other classic muscle car mods for a complete vintage car collection in GTA 5. Compatible with Realistic Driving V for authentic vintage muscle car handling physics.
