King Kuda

==Description==
The King Kuda (originally formatted with an apostrophe as King 'Kuda) first appeared in 1970 King 'Kuda Club Kit, then in 1970 Hot Wheels Spoilers series, and then reintroduced in the HotWheelsCollectors.com Series 1 to the Present. In 2018 a Malaysia-made retooled version of the King Cuda was released with a plastic base with the name "Plymouth Barracuda" engraved.
The 1970 Redline Model Cars were packaged with a metal 'Collector's Button'. Some colors can be found with a rare black roof variation.
