The first Petty Barracuda was lettered as "Outlawed" and had a fairly stock wheelbase +/- and inch or so. The first car ran a S/S style Hemi with a crossram intake and had a stock style front suspension. After the accident, a second car was built with a more drastically altered wheelbase and injection. This car had a straight axle front suspension. This car was lettered with "43 Jr." on the doors. Petty built the second car to honor previously made commitments (match races, etc.).
