I am trying to help some friends find out more about a 1973 Barracuda they have had for a long time.

I have tried a little to decode the fender tag and have not made much progress.

I have attached photos of the front and the back of the tag, the back is much easier to read.

Please let me know what you can tell me about this car and how it was optioned.

Thanks!!!

Edit: I noticed the photos posted sideways. Just left click on them and you can rotate the photo.
