SS/AH for everyone not a Mopar nut, or vintage drag racing fanatic, that means 1968 Barracuda or Dart, Super Stock, Automatic trans, Hemi-fied by Hurst




 This car has been drag racing a long time, and killing engines. This seems to be an accounting for the ones it's put into the big recycler in the sky.




Cajun Sports Nationals were known as the "Chootout" chuckle chuckle


















 There is about 1/8th of an inch of space between the front of this M/T and the fender... how they haven't marked up, or damaged the fender, I've no idea. These cars frequently get a little air under the front tires, and bounce a little until settling into running fast down the dragstrip... to have kept the tires off the fender with so little space between them has to be a miracle of mechanical marvels.











Flip Flop or Fly was a song title, a lot of musicians covered this song, here's Elwood and Jake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgzdgLR6tl4



the sound is over a thousand horsepower killing the microphone slowly. Not worth trying to listen to.

  1. Hey how come they put a towel in the air duct that's on the hood?

  2. Thanks for this wonderful collection of beautiful cars. The Plymouth Barracuda was possibly the prettiest production car to ever role out of the MOPAR factory. Stumbled on your post this morning! You made my day!
