Cuda_Al's Copper 1967 Barracuda Fastback

What was wrong with your original motor?
It had been rebuilt twice and was at 0.060, not sure what happened to let the water in. During the disassembly no smoking guns were found. Being a 67 all you need is a close date code to be numbers correct.

I saw a Jay Leno`s garage segment, where he interviewed a retired cal hiway patrol captain, ( I think it was). He said, the fastest cars the hiway patrol ever had , were the 440 dodges, hands down ! ! Of course, Jay had one they did the interview in front of.

The 69 on that episode belongs to a friend of mine, I went with him to the filming, fun outing. The 69 has always said to be the fastest CHP car ever, Dodge tested them at 149.6, CHP with the car fully equipped had the up to 135, officers often tell stories of having them up to 150, hard to say with a speedometer that only goes to 140.
