Designer and Inspiration:

The King 'Kuda was designed by Paul Tam. It is based on a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, heavily modified in the style of the "Spoilers" series.

Historical Context and Production Years:

It was released in 1970 as part of the "Spoilers" series and came with Redline (RL) wheels.

Unique Aspects:

As a "Spoiler," its defining feature is the large, exposed chrome engine and side-exit exhausts that are part of the base and protrude through the diecast body. The casting also features a prominent "shaker" hood scoop.

Similar Castings:

It is part of the "Spoilers" series, along with the "Heavy Chevy" and "Boss Hoss." It is a modified version of the stock '70 Plymouth Barracuda casting.

Variations and Special Editions:

It was produced in many Spectraflame colors, with blue and purple being very common. U.S. and Hong Kong versions have slight differences in the casting details.
