The seller tells me it has disk brakes in front - was that a factory option?




For sure.....! I'm a member of a Corvette forum and we're the same way!
Quicky - I have a '74 Corvette. 383 Stroker.....FAST car.....I've had it 14 years now. Built every bit of myself.

But I ALWAYS wanted a Barracuda!
By the way - do you guys frown on me just referring to it as a "Cuda"? I know there was actually a 'Cuda in the 70's.

It's Mopar or no car!

Yes, the factory had optional 4 piston kelsey hayes disc brakes for the front.

But my trick of using the 72 Duster drum brake set up will still work on the rear brakes, they should be 10 x 1.75" drums...

They changed the brakes in 73 to single piston discs and 4 1/2" bolt pattern for the wheels. The early style had 4" bolt pattern for the lugs...


I'm not picky if you call it a Barracuda or Cuda, it's shorter to type cuda and I get lazy sometimes. Only the anal retentive will correct you...



Before we got married, my wife told me that she was anal... It turns out that there are two kinds of anal, and she's the WRONG ONE!!! :banghead: LOL!
