any less of a barracuda

As been stated in some other posts - the early production 66 Barracudas had a "V" emblem on the grill that was unique to the early 1666 Barracuda model (even different than the 66 Valiant grill emblem). The rear window trim on these early 66s was the same as the 65s. So you have “not less than a Barracuda” but a limited production early 1966 Barracuda (One of my two 66 Barracuda is an early production “V” model)
