Technically, it's not a Barracuda, it's a 'Cuda. Those were considered separate models from 1970 through 1974.

I also notice that it's a 440 Six Barrel. Quite a rare car, as only 237 hardtops and 17 convertibles were built with this engine for 1971.

This would be quite the collector's item today, as these consistently sell for six digit figures.

It was only made to appear as a 440 six barrel. Check into the history of the movie.

According to your link, Magnus, the car was originally a 340 'Cuda. Interesting. Still a rare car, though.

Skid is right,its a 340,(interestingly enough,in the second movie "Reg" drove a 71 Hemicuda,totalling it near the end of the movie,the third movie starts with the end of the second one and continues from there with Reg driving a 70 Hemicuda convertible!)

Apparently it later appeared in the background of a season 4 episode of CHiPs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJH16i4tDTE

Can't be proven that's the car, but I'd call the odds pretty good. How many jet black 1971 'Cudas were there in the Los Angeles area at the time with those same custom fender flares?

Los Angeles? Wasn't this movie mainly filmed in Oakland?

Mostly shot in the little town of Julian, an hour east of San Diego. Numerous Los Angeles locations are also listed on IMDB, along with Oakland.
