    Trans-Am info for the 1966 Barracuda

    It is a little "tricky" with original cars vs "tribute" cars vs period correct vehicles, but a lot has to do with what your intentions are.

    Trans-Am info for the 1966 Barracuda

    All this is great info. We have a lot of experience with Formula cars and Sports Racers, but not MOPAR vehicles, so every bit of info with regard to transmissions, engines, rear ends, etc. is awesome. We have two projects to go before we can get this one started, but I need to start my...

    I currently have two cars with "FIA papers". Obtaining them with cars that have a verifiable race history, was painful enough, I do not want to go through that process with a "reproduction" vehicle.
