    The car had a 440 Six-Pack in it before he put the blower on. Here are some pics that I took in 2006.

    Sweet!  I bet you two turn a lot of heads.  There can't be too many vintage Mopars in Finland, especially two that look that good.

    We're in Norway, not Finland!  :nono:

    My own and this one is the only two 1970 Barracuda's I've ever seen with my own eyes. So it's not a very common sighting.. Especialy in the northern parts of the country where I (and he) lives.

    jvike - no problem.  FWIW - my family on my father's side is from that part of the world - Sweden, actually.  My Farmor is 95!

    Looks like you and your friend aren't the only Norse Moparmen up there:
