As some of you may know.. 2 years ago we debuted our new 2 car team with a 1972 Barracuda H/SA car.. We tried it for 2 years but recently decided at the New England Nationals, It was time to move on.. We thought we would love the stocker thing but we are true .90 racers and have roots in bracket racing.. So we decided to sell the car but wanted to stay with a 1970-1974 Barracuda..
My dads S/G car is a 1970 Cuda so I grew up with the great love of 1970 Barracudas.. well it just so happened that when we sold the stocker, a 1970 Barracuda came up for sale on racing junk.
We jumped on the deal and brought the car home after having it delivered to the Maple Grove Dutch Classic.
Here are the details on the car..
