SS/B Barracuda project

Chrysler’s intention to use Porsche Speedster seats in a limited production run for Super Stock was dubious and pushing the intention of the production available rules that pertained to Super Stock, after seeing it maybe...the NHRA said no way...so Chrysler revived the lightweight seats from 64-65 that the NHRA had already blessed years earlier....Maybe....

Yes, could be. But on the other hand Chrysler got away with the cut wheel wells on the Dart, and a lot of weird things and odd parts, since it was just this… a production car…
Well I don´t know, but my guess is cost. These German stuff probably wasn´t cheap.
