Tom and duster on their way to the track!!!!
This 1972 plymouth barracuda was Tom's first attempt at restoration and drag racing. As you can tell it was a successful restoration and also a proven winner on the track in bracket II in 1994 After taking the '95 season off to build the new garage; the cuda was return to street legal status and the need for more speed took over!! The duster was born!!! The cuda is now in retirement; and goes only to car shows and the occasional sunday drive.
