Built to Last: Jeff Ross and His 50-Year Legacy Behind the Wheel of a ’73 Barracuda

When Jeff Ross took delivery of his brand-new 1973 Plymouth Barracuda, he wasn’t planning on a half-century commitment – but that’s exactly what happened. Over 50 years, Ross has transformed the car into a race-ready Super Stock machine, competing in NHRA and IHRA events across the country. Through engine swaps, transmission upgrades and a relentless drive to keep improving, Ross’s Barracuda has become more than just a racecar – it’s a symbol of dedication, discipline and pure Mopar_® passion. This story isn’t just about a car; it’s about a racer who stayed loyal to the lane, proving that real muscle never goes out of style.
