New guy from SoCal
« on: June 24, 2013 - 01:33:55 AM »
Hi All

Been here numerous times as a lurker - figured it's time to join in! Long line of Barracudas and 'Cudas:
'65 Formula S 273 4-speed
'64-1/2 273 4-speed
'70 AAR 340 6-pack 4-speed
'72 340 4-speed
'70 383 with a 727 (hey, how did an auto trans get in there?)

As you can tell from my handle I'm a drag racer. I still have the AAR but .... (don't stone me) it has been a drag car since 1976.

Welcome to the site! That is quite a list of cars there, though it has to be said......

I know, I know. Here's a shot of the '72 painted to match the famed(?) Sonic Cuda, and the '64-1/2 is in the background. The drag Cuda was recently brought out of storage, as I've been playing with my Arrow.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm in San Diego. Oh, and I forgot one in my list of 'Cudas - a '70 Barracuda 318 3-speed. Plain Jane, but a fun driver.
