Back in about 78' after I first moved to San Diego, my supervisor mentioned he had won a Barracuda. The biggest thing for him was it was a free car. John had won it while stationed in Hawaii but visiting his daughter in San Diego. I had a strong desire to buy an e body but it was a 318 car and not for sale anyway. At the time the white color and small engine had no appeal for me. I wanted a big block and could take or leave the soft top.
A few months later he drove it to work and the white paint, interior and top really popped. I was blown away by how good that combo looked. That was the only time I saw it as he usually drove his beater Vega to work.
That was a long time ago and I wonder what happened to John. He would be very old by now. I like to think he left it to his daughter and she kept it.
John
