here's a sentence I've never heard before, but it's real "daughter searched for mom's 71 Barracuda for 12 years, found it while her mom could appreciate it, then took two years to restore it, and now goes to car shows with it!"


One of her brothers got the 71 383 'Cuda from her mom, and sold it without telling anyone in the family, and a decade later, it was on craigslist ready to get the restoration complete. 


the Arizona sun cooks cars and destroys plastic

She got to use her mom's 'Cuda for Prom and high school graduation! 

Her mom was still alive when she got the car, but passed away before the restoration was complete


Her mom had bought the car at age 38, to stick it to her ex husband right after the divorce. 




WHAT in the world of wacky racers is THIS? Bruce knew, (thank you!) it's the Shadow Mk1 Can Am.



I was looking at this, and not really interested, UNTIL



They hit the air brake panels for fully deployed! 

Pastrana and the Family Huckster put on a good show, and the Ford Supervan was mighty quick, but I enjoyed watching Ryan Tuerck drift his Toyota truck up the hill, the most


and for a different view of this run,
see the previous video at 7:51
see the next video of the Petty Superbird and Beast of Turin post and forward to 9:01 for another set of cameras recording this run

license plate from Alabama "THC420" and a handicapped symbol instead of the Toyota or Mazda or Hyundai symbol

 I couldn't get the camera to focus on that plate (instead of the window reflection) before the light turned green
