Swede Savage Driving a Plymouth Barracuda in Trans-Am Race at Bridgehampton Raceway, May 1970

Artifact Overview

Drivers Dan Gurney and Swede Savage raced Plymouth Barracudas for Gurney's All American Racers team in the 1970 Trans-Am season. Mechanical problems plagued the cars throughout the year. Since Trans-Am rules required that participating cars be production automobiles, Plymouth built 2,724 street versions of the 1970 AAR 'Cuda for public sale to qualify.
