1968 Plymouth Barracuda '340-S' Fastback

* Shipping Weight ..... #3162 lbs.

The NHRA re-factored the 340/275 HP to {310 HP} Horsepower in December 1967, 1-Month before the 1968 NHRA Winternationals.

'Coletti Chrysler-Plymouth' out of Hillsboro, Oregon set the NHRA National Record.

While Joe {Father} prepped the Barracuda, Mark {17 year-old son} drove the E/SA Barracuda.

A person who does not get the credit for making their '1st' 340 run, was Factory Race-Engine Builder and Drag Racer ~ John Hagen.
