Hurst Airheart brake caliper on Trans-Am Plymouth Barracuda

Here an extremly rare picture of the T/A Cuda fitted with Hurst Airheart calipers. Thanks to Mike Camicia, who wend us this picture that came from Chrysler engineer Bob Tarozzi, we now have proof that Gurney did indeed use Hurst Airhearts, which were later unsed in NASCAR Winston Cup and on the IMSA Greenwood Corvettes, on his Trans-Am Plymouth racers!
