What’s the attraction?

So, (and correct me if Im wrong) I seem to recall that, the Barracuda was released or came out Before the Mustang by about 6 weeks or two months. I'm not 100% sure. It was a direct competitor in the pony car market, and that 273 "Commando" I believe was a hot little engine in this lightweight body. I remember a neighbor had a 66 Barracuda in 1983 or 84, and it attracted attention, everyone in the neighborhood would walk up to it and check it out. That's when I first heard "273" I hadn't even known Mopar had a smaller V-8 than the 318. I was 15 years old then. MOPAR they say were designed by engineers, not designers. This is a big reason for their styling, it was unique to them, GM had better looking cars some may say. Mopars are in a class of their own when it comes to styling. During that era it must have been nice to have choices, today everything looks the same or similar, and people don't care... its so generic. I think this is why some of us till play around with these old cars. They are works of art, from a bygone era. Its ok if you dont like the early Barracuda,to each his own,but there is something else from back then that you might like I'm sure. When you think about the mid 60s what are some of the best looking cars? Corvette, 64/5 Chevelle, I think Mopar hit on a good one with the 66/7 Dodge Coronet and Plymouth Sattelite, 64 Galaxie? Although I think the 63 galaxie is a better looking car than the 64 but still, the styling didnt start hitting home for all makes untill 66- up IMO.
