1965 Plymouth Barracuda

That 13.62 record was an altitude adjusted record. The actual time the car ran was 13.98 at Bristol. Fred and Doug had a fast little cuda but there was no way those cars would in the 13.60's in 1965. That record was what forced us to move to a 180 hp -273 and run I/SA, and later N/SA. Our first set of headers actually exited in front of the front tires. The small engine compartment forced you to be a little creative with header technology. Then Dougs and Stahl came up with nice designs for the little cars. A pain to install, but nothing was easy with those little cars.
