Do you like the Barracuda in fastback or notchback?

Fastback
Notchback

I've really grown to love the '67-'69 Barracuda notchbacks and I recently spotted a '67 that I might try to buy but here lately the fastback look is really starting to grow on me. Which do you like best? Do you think one is more valuable/desirable to the general public than the other?

I swiped a couple pics off Ebay to help you choose. :2thumbs:

I like the notchback. :2thumbs: I think the fastbacks are prolly more desirable. But I just prefer the look of the notchback.

If I had to own one........it would be a convertible.   I don't like any of them actually, sorry.  Hope you still love me in the morning  :icon_smile_big: :icon_smile_big: :icon_smile_big:

Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

fastbacks... don't like that looooong trunk lid view... almost looks like a hood. In fact that is what makes different the Charger from the rest... Longer sail/C pillar, roof line or what ever you calls, almost a fastback look

I dont care for either but I have gone 150mph in a 69 fastback before...  It was a fun ride.

If you have no vision or creative spirit, you can always fall back on the way the factory did it.

Fastback only. I had a '67 notchback and it was hideous. It looked like a half-hearted attempt at pinching a turd.  :D
Malicious, vindictive, spiteful, cynical, pessimistic, sarcastic, & antagonistic. And those are my good traits!

I think the fastback is nicer, I don't like the roof line on the notchback. I did have a ragtop though, the way it looks with the top down is cool.  :cheers:

   great pics thanks!!!
i like the way the trunk line comes up to the rear window on the Fastback, they are pretty simple and the fastback roof looks right, spices it up and helps the proportions,.. very graceful, the grill reminds me alot of the Pontiac GTOs of the same year '67,.. the notchroof looks goofy to my eye...  :scope:
  a few yrs back a coworker had an extreamly cherry and bone stock original notchback white/black 318 console car he sold for $3,200,.. I just wasn't into it enuff to take it on... if it was a fastback i would have probably bought it myself...

i'd like more pics please...  :drool5:

so Bull, what are your plans/ideas?.. perhaps a photoshop rendering?.. eh?.  :shruggy:

Have to be the Fastback, I never really warmed up to the notchback at all.

Here are some '68's.   Does anyone want a convertable pic?  I found some nice ones of those.

After looking at these pics, I'm gonna go with the fastback model as my favorite.

Here are some '69's.
