1967 Barracuda Formula S 383 daily driver build
Took it out to the drag strip with our local car club that rents the track and this is the final year that’s going to happen. The Barracuda ran great, I didn’t have any mechanical issues. I made a 1st pass thru the mufflers the pulled the pipes off. It was the slowest run was with the exhaust on the car. I never added my electronic ignition so I was still running points. If I were to really want to run good at the track a converter is what it really needs. I could’t stall it up more than 1700-1800 before it pushed it thru the beams. I tried a few passes stalled up at 1200 then just hit it at the light but it kind of coughed a little using that method. I ended up with the best pass of 12.88 @ 107.9 with a 1.96 60’.
Here’s a bunch of pics from the day.
Fastback has plenty of room for slicks in the back with the seat folded down.
Mopar section of the pits
This particular event is a local club that has had a yearly Sunday fun run day. Check it out at duckuscrapus.com
