First of all, thanks to @zac_F71 and the https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/rc-hobbiest-parmas-new-rc-body.292017/ thread.

I've been asking around, nobody makes a second generation Barracuda body.

I just want to say that I didn't buy this 2wd RC car and body to do RC drag races out at the Sonoma County Airport. This was totally for my 7 year old son. He picked out the red truck body.

I am thinking Tor Red, with the hood a satin black. Unfortunately, there are no 340 hood scoops.

Special thanks to Jake at Jake's Performance Hobbies 707-586-3375 Rohnert Park, CA 94928 he was helpful and set us up

Just recorded my son playing with his truck, right as the battery was running out, so it's got about as much power as a Honda.

New update;

Ended up spending more on this (plus a 5000milliamp battery for my son) than I would have paid for a new solid cam! It was worth it though. Now he'll have about 40 minutes of runtime before we have to pack it in.

Picked up some drag slicks, weld wheels, and paint. I decided on a color scheme.
I am probably going to do the windows black, or a gunmetal grey, not sure yet.
I still need to source some decals. And a hood scoop.

I couldn't find any Centerline wheels to match my color scheme, so I picked up some Weld style wheels.
