I recognize a bunch of the names on this board, but I figure i'll go ahead and have a first post here anyway.

Name is Mike (Goody), I run a 1972 Barracuda that I have had for four years. I'm 21 now, so bought it when I was 17. I daily drove the car for the first two years I had it. The Barracuda currently has it's factory 318 block and 904 trans in it that have been messed with. It's current best is 13.68 @ 97mph on wayy too tall 30.5" tall slicks.

The car is currently in Florida, since I just recently moved to Las Vegas for work. i will be fixing that situation asap. I have a MP 360 shortblock that may or may not go into the car. It's setup for a roller cam, and magnum heads. If that doesn't make its way into the car, a newer Hemi will. Time will tell on that one...

Thats basically it for the car, my Dad runs a 1972 Challenger that was built for him on 'Overhaulin' in 2006. So that is the other car you see in some pictures.

Hey Mike...Glad to see you made it back to Nevada. Miss your car? I bet you do.

You will be reunited soon. I'm a newbie here to, but WELCOME

Thanks all. I miss my Barracuda, wish I had a place for it out here though. Not quite. I'll be paying off my tools and such so when I get the car out here, I can enjoy it more and actually mess with it.

Hey Mike, the new rims look good.
I was one of the guys hanging out on the set all week in Las Vegas when they built your dad's car. I hated that they didn't build a car at SEMA this last year. I'm sure Chip was okay with that though.
Seems like it was the year of the Cuda. There were several on display this year. In fact, it seems like there were more Cudas there than new Challengers.
