1969 440 'cuda ~ Original Road Test

1969 440 'cuda

This Car Was Built For One Thing Only,

We were more than pleased with our best run of 12.68 @ 111.9 MPH, at Westhampton Drag Strip. We decided to pack up and head back to Rockville Center to drop off the 440 'Cuda.

We changed tires and put the puny E70 x 14's back on, and Sonny re-set the Timing to a more streetable level.

We popped the floor jack in the trunk with our tools, Timing Light and Dwell Meter, and put the Slicks in the back seat.

I {Joe} drove the 440 'Cuda and Sonny was the passenger. Cliff rode in Fred's 1966 Corvette.

We hit Sunrise Highway, and took off for our 1-Hour ride West, back to Motion
Performance in Baldwin.

About 30-Minutes into the drive, Sonny said that he wanted to see what the
Barracuda was capable of on the 'open-road', with a straight punch-out.

I looked at Sonny, and said > "Should I punch it."

He laughed and said > "C'mon Joe. We're not out here for a F***ing Country Drive."
