"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

That's one sharp looking Barracuda. I've always liked the yellow and black combo. I've got a '68 Barracuda that's yellow with black interior!! Nice numbers!!!  :2thumbs:
