I'm building a big inch dual plug Hemi for my street/strip '70 Barracuda & I wanted to make it look like an early '70s SS/DA Cuda with some of the period bits like Keystone Klassic wheels, paint job, decals etc

I don't want to cut the body at all, just SS springs on offset hangers with the biggest tires I can fit without tubs, but open to suggestions.

There are quite a few pics on the net of the outside of this type of car but very few of the engine bay & inside the cars, if anyone has any could they please post them.

Also has anyone got a set of SS/DA rules from the early '70s that they could post to give me some ideas. The car would only be raced in street/muscle car races in New Zealand so would not have to comply exactly to any class.

Any other info or pics would be great, Cheers

Mine wasn't SS/DA, but I loved the old paint that was on it when it raced back then...

One of the SS/DA cars I saw for sale about 4 years back looked just like a stock shacker hood Cuda with a real nice stance and racing wheels and a cage. Literally, there wasn't almost anything that let you know it was capable of the et it was except the cage.

Anyways, here's pics of mine back in the day.

Hey Dragula, cheers for the pic
What class did your car run & how fast?

My 71 hemi Challenger was an original SS/D car. Ran best 10.30's. Was a pretty "mild" build actually. Racer Brown solid. Unported heads. Modded Rat Roaster with competition series Carters. 12.5 pistons. Stock crank and rods. Unmodified hemi box with Super Shifter. 4.88 gears.

It's an original hemi car, so fortunately nothing was cut up. put back to stock now.

Life is short Mike. Go for a ride

The only picture I have.

Here are a few pics of cars that inspire me, they are not all SS/DA but they all have something special

John Petrie's Cudas...engine shot is his 1970 Challenger.

1971 Barracuda.

More 1971 Petrie Cuda.

Another shot.

More good pictures...

Great pics magnumcharger, Cheers

If it were me, I'd get ahold of whoever owns the Ramchargers SS/DA car & copy it! I saw it at Auction at Barrett-Jackson a few years ago & I've never seen a cleaner, more put together car. There were a few old P/Ss at auction that day too & none of them could compare to that car..

Here's a link to an ad listing a 70 Cuda SS/DA car. The "SunKissed Cuda". A lot of good pics here. Mods I aploigize if this is a no-no.

I don't think there were ever any better looking drag cars. The stuff today isn't cool at all compared to these cars.
