That is cool,  My sisters got me a 70 cuda one year. 
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

I have the same car. I just love it. We stopped at Indy on our way to the Nats this year, that's where I got mine.

Are you looking to put molding on your car?  If so I can keep a look out.

Mine is coded for it, and I have all of the pieces.  But it never hurts to have extra, and I know that one of mine is ripped, I dont think it can be repaired.   :(

Remind me by this summer of the moldings. Bruces Chally had it on it but we are not going to use it again. He was going to throw it away but I know he still has it.

It says it is made by Greenlight Collectibles under their Pace Car Garage line.  Their website is www.greenlighttoys.com but this model can be found here: http://www.greenlighttoys.com/products.html?q=products&page=32&catid=3&scaleid=1&prodid=90
