- Custom Barracuda was originally named King Kuda
Description[]
The King 'Kuda first appeared in 1970 King 'Kuda Club Kit, then in 1970 Hot Wheels Spoilers series, and then reintroduced in the HotWheelsCollectors.com Series 1 to the Present. In 2018 a Malaysia-made retooled version of the King Cuda was released with a plastic base with the name "Plymouth Barracuda" engraved.
The 1970 Redline Model Cars were packaged with a metal 'Collector's Button'. Some colors can be found with a rare black roof variation.
