Got my new Barracuda Convertible today!

Hope it didn't get it's doors blown off on the race track

  Hahaha, you guys crack me up. I thought posting that would get a reaction.

This is the "hack job" that got replaced...

Nice Ride-Best of luck with it.

The door is in the back seat. A Cuda with the rare option trap door.

Sorry, I don't have many interior, or "top up" pictures.

Thanks for taking the door off to display that beautiful white interior 

I think I will keep the black interior panels in because they are in nice shape and go with the white seats that I have. I have a set of 71 Barracuda seats in white that need to be cleaned up. But I think they will clean nicely. Just need some time and some soft scrub.

Is the convertible rear seat back different than a hard top seat back? or is it the seat bottom?

Now that I like!   

The perfect candidates. Black and White Cuda's.

Ya gotta do it!

The convertible rear seat back is definitely a lot smaller then a hardtop. The bottom will work though.

Thanks Chris.    I took the car out today for the first time and it ran strong. I also got it up on the lift and the floors, torque boxes and frame rails are perfect with the exception of a small cap that was put in the front drivers side rail. Not dpsure why everything looks so good and yet a small repair had to be made just there

Is it in a spot where brake fluid can leak on it. I had the same thing on one of my projects the fluid leaked on the rail the paint & primer came off it and it rotted only in that spot.

Yep, that would be the spot

Mystery solved!

Hi Tom,
Nice to see another car in this color combo!  Make sure you check out my past posts on Fly Navy Barracudas, just search 'Fly Navy' and it should show up.   I don't think yours is one because of the side moldings and luggage rack,  but if your VIN is between 181095 and 181120, or even close then let me know.   While I think the white/blue is a great combo,  I'm always interested in blue interior parts if you're making a change.

Hi Brian,
Yes my VIN is in that range. Its 101. The car wasn't coded for luggage rack or side molding. Just white top, white body with Blue interior. I remember you posting about the fly navy barracudas awhile back. I will look up your posts tonight and check em out. My car is coded on the broadcast sheet for direct sale. I'm not sure what that means but its not what I have seen before.

Cool!  Looks like you've found another Fly Navy Barracuda!  It would be interesting to know where the car was located early in it's life so we could determine which Navy Base it was stationed at.  I'll message you with some more info.  to nail down some other details and send you some things.
