M2 MACHINES
Mopar 75 Years 1971 Barracuda
1:24 | $25
Black and blue set the theme for this 1:24 special edition from M2 machines, commemorat- ing 75 years of Mopar. The ’71 Hemi ‘Cuda has opening doors, hood, and trunk, and steerable “steelie” wheels with – you guessed it – blue streak tires. Open the hood and there’s a decent enough shaker-equipped Hemi hiding below; this pre-production piece offered up a good build and paint, and wears a “Mopar 75” shield on its roof. All of the trim – save for the tamped-on window framing and drip rails – is blacked out, and the blue seats and door panels against the black … well, everything else inside the cabin … reminded us of a SoHo after-hours club. Yes, it’s a trippy-looking thing, and just the kind of memento Mopar fans can’t wait to shelve. Don’t wait too long because only 5,000 will be made worldwide. “Mopar, or no car?” Here’s yo’ car. — Joe Kelly Jr. m2machines.com
