Chrysler Barracuda makes possible appearance in 60 Minutes piece

If you haven't had a chance to sit down and watch the full 13-minute CBS "60 Minutes" segment on Chrysler that aired this weekend, we have yet another reason for you to do so. The good people at Allpar.com seem to have spotted something interesting lurking in the background of an interview with Ralph Gilles, head of design for Chrysler. Look closely, and there's a red sports coupe hanging out just over the executive's shoulder. Allpar.com seems to think this is a glimpse at the rumored Barracuda resurrection. After all, Chrysler made sure to trademark the 'Cuda name earlier this year.

Automotive News took the time to ask Chrysler about the vehicle in the video, and the company very tactfully replied that the vehicle is "just one of the many concepts and projects in our studios. That is one student model."

A student model that may hint to the design of the Barracuda? Possibly

Cool catch, but I wonder how many real car people are awaiting the release of any newer Chrysler product. They have fallen a long way

well the Crossfire was a huge disaster. a sporty new car would help sales (hopefully it would be lighter the challenger). especially with the new phoenix engine putting out 300hp and an 8-speed auto. Of course whatever it came to be It still probably wouldn't be my first choice lol. just hopeful for all companies to do better

If they would do a retro Road-Runner (especially in purple), with the bird-graphics and the Beep-Beep horn, my checkbook's probably ready. I was a big fan of the original RRs 40-45 years ago, in high-school. To date, the closest modern-retro that Chrysler has done to it is the Charger R/T/SRT/Super-Bee.
