1st Gen Barracuda ?

Back in 1970, I bought a '64 Barracuda from a friend of mine while on active duty. It was a 273 Commando with the black and silver valve covers. By then it already had an Edelbrock hi rise and a 780 Holley. It was a factory 4 speed with a Ford rear. I put a set of Cyclone fenderwell headers and traction bars on it and it ran like a raped ape. I used to power shift that thing at 7k and never had a problem with it except for one broken pushrod. I drove that thing for 3 years and raced every weekend I could. I only lost 3 races to a 396 Nova, a 350 in a 60 Nova with a B&M Powerglide and a Z-28 302 in a '57 Chevy. I think I could have beaten the Chevy with another run.
Now I'm redoing a 273 to swap out my /6 4 speed in a '65 Barracuda.
