Die Hard commercial - 1970s

[str12-340]

I've been looking for a video of a commercial that I remember from the 70s - It was about a young guy loaning his late 60s Barracuda to his dad because the old guy's battery was dead.. The car was a wicked 4 speed car and the end shows his dad lurching a squealing down the road on the performance clutch - it was hilarious! Anybody know of a link?

They played that commerical all the time on free air, before cable came in.
I was around 6-8 yrs old.

Thanks for putting this up. I was just mentioning this to my brother a few month ago. One of my all time favorite car commercials.

Isn't that "Corkys Cuda" they used for that?

That is what came up when I googled it.

But I remembered it as a diehard commercial

That "thing" is certainly not my idea of a "wicked" anything. LOL
