Hey Folks

Back when I was at the age of 10 (1972) I found a Mattel Hot Wheels from their Hot Wheels club in Chrome called the “King Kuda” It was originally released in 1970. Has a model of the 1969 or 70 Barracuda been released and if so by what model manufacture?

Thank Tim Kirkland 29144

AMT and MPC released the 1969 Barracuda. That would be the one you are looking for as the Hot Wheels 'King Kuda' was a 1969 Barracuda which had an entirely different body style than the 1970 Barracuda.

 

Model Roundup looks like they have at least one in stock:

I've dealt with this Ebay seller before and he has a good reputation:

Revell released the 1970 as the AAR Cuda. The kit has been re-released a few times and is available.

 

Revell also has a 2' in 1 kit ready for release of the 1970 Hemi Cuda. http://www.revell.com/model-kits/cars/85-4268.html#.UoFOJxj83JM

 

Should be out by late November or early December but probably not the one you want.
