    Barracuda

    The first two letters of the VIN give it away...BH

    'CUDAs have VINs that start BS


    The other body code was BP for the Grand Coupe of 1970 and '71

    M - Medium (as in RM... roadrunners.  not applicable to ebodys)
    H - High (barracuda)
    P - Premium (barracuda gran coupe)
    S - Special ('cuda)

    Both of my '74 'CUDAS are 318 cars and they do have the sway bars and all the 'CUDA trimmings
    so really if you pull out the engine/trans combo and put in a real setup your right in business. :-\

    As far as the poor Road Runner goes, that was pretty sad :newsad:


    The smallblock F-bodies don't make bad race cars though, between me and my buddies we got two
    Aspen R/T 360s pretty deep into the 12s....cheap
