"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.

Welcome, I'm fairly new to the site as well. I have a 74 barracuda as well, was yours a 440 or did you do a swap?

Goldengladiator...I'm from Dover, its about 1 hr 45 min south of Cleveland off 77.

hooD... In the picture is a 440.

paparuff... The green Barracuda in the above picture had a 318 in it. The frame on that car was just to rusted and I was going to spend a ton of money on it getting it where I wanted it. The car below that was a 73 Cuda that was used as a Drag car and came with a 340 block that was cracked. So we used the frame of the 73 and parts from the 74 did get the car you see now at the bottom of the post. I wanted a bigger motor so I put in a 440.

I have a lot more pics of the restore.
