1969 Barracuda 440 vs 1971 Buick GS455 Stage 1 - PURE STOCK DRAG RACE

1970 Plymouth Barracuda ('Cuda) 440 vs 1971 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 (Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race)
Our first car is a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda with the 'Cuda 440 (M code) package! They only made 340 of these cars so they are pretty rare. Interesting, Plymouth only allowed the 'Cuda 440 to come with an automatic transmission that year. The opponent is a 1971 Buick GS455 Stage 1. Sure, by 1971 the compression ratio on the 455 was starting to drop, but it's definitely no slouch! What a couple of great muscle cars in a pure stock drag race.

Remember, both cars participate in the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race series, so please check out their website: https://www.psmcdr.com
