I dont think the Cuda sport hood was an option on a Barracuda 

Yes and no. It was not at the beginning of the 1970 model year but was introduced for Barracuda and Gran Coupe in January 1970 (mid 1970 model year) and stayed available for those at least through the 1971 model year. The J54 sport hood was NOT available for 1970 Challengers, unless they were R/Ts or A66 (340 4bbl) cars, on which it was standard. It got available for Challengers in 1971, though. But in any case, a J54 sport hood e-body which is not a Cuda or Challenger R/T is a very rare car.

Thanks Bill, with this being a special owner ordered Barracuda and based on what Jens has said this is a very rare build but possible.

Thanks Jens, I appreciate your feedback information.

Carl I’ve been having problems painting here with the humidity and i end up with having to do a lot of sanding to get a smooth finish and I end up burning through the paint. The weather has dried up for me and I’ve  been able to get my paint and clear coats to stay smooth for me. Here’s my clear coat it just needs a little buffing and then finish it. I can’t believe that I started this one back in 2022.

Thanks Rich the black around the head lights was one of the small details that noticed when I was checking the pictures of the real ones.
