1970 Plymouth Barracuda NHRA Super Street/ Super ProBracket
 

As some of you may know.. 2 years ago we debuted our new 2 car team with a 1972 Barracuda H/SA car.. We tried it for 2 years but recently decided at the New England Nationals, It was time to move on.. We thought we would love the stocker thing but we are true .90 racers and have roots in bracket racing.. So we decided to sell the car but wanted to stay with a 1970-1974 Barracuda..


My dads S/G car is a 1970 Cuda so I grew up with the great love of 1970 Barracudas.. well it just so happened that when we sold the stocker, a 1970 Barracuda came up for sale on racing junk.


We jumped on the deal and brought the car home after having it delivered to the Maple Grove Dutch Classic.

I can't figure out were that rusted panel is. Any other rust in the car and where did the car come from?

Re: 1970 Plymouth Barracuda NHRA Super Street/ Super ProBrac
 

What are your plans? I would re-anodize the aluminium panels black to eliminate burning yourself in the staging lanes for one, for S/ST 10.10 130 something is fast enough and you never have enough tires.lol Beautiful car wish you luck.CR

Rusted panel is the drivers side headlight bucket on the fender..

Car was raced in Ohio before we bought it

Re: 1970 Plymouth Barracuda NHRA Super Street/ Super ProBrac
 

Just got the car back from media blasting.. We will be repairing all rust and useless holes, replacing a few bars in the cage, mocking up a new steering column, seat and pedals, new dash and then sending it out for paint.. All the aluminum panels will be powder coated a graphite color
