My 1973 Rallye Barracuda was probably one
of my favorite
cars. I bought the car from one of my employees
for $400.00
The Barracuda was very solid, The car came
with a 318 ci.,
Slapstick Automatic transmision, Bucket seats
and a
Rallye Suspension. It was Petty Blue W/ Blue
Int.
I tried to sell the car to my friends for
what I paid for it but
know one wanted it! So one night one of my
friends and I
were thinking of the way it should of been
built by Ma Mopar.
Why not a 400 engine? Why did't they keep
the Shark sill
moldings on as an option? Why did they discontinue
the Go Wing & the
chin sploilers? Why do we need to have these
ugly bumberets?
So that was the night I decided to build the
car they should of built in 1973.
Well this is what the finished product looked.
I had a 1969 383, that I sent out and had
board to a 400 ci. I ordered a
484 purpleshaft from Ma Mopar.
I purchased a 71 go wing from a friend of mine.
Found
the chin spoilers, sill moldings and some
other key parts to complete the project.
mean while the body went to a friend of mine,
he cleaned the body up and applied a
coat of B-3 Blue ( Ice Blue Met.) paint. I
called legendary thay sent me a new white gut.
