Welcome Aboard!!  My first car of all time was a '71 Barracuda 318 3-spd.  The frame was gone, and I later came upon a '70 Barracuda convertible, which I still have today!  Enjoy your car!

thanks guy's for the nice words i have got a few more pics at home i will post shortly. a short story on my car is that it was a graduation present from my dad. he bought it for me in 99 for $600. i knew of the car for about 5 years prior to that but the guy would not sell it. he tore up his boat motor and needed the cash so we brought her home. it is a factory 318 auto hemi orange black vinyl top luggage rack and hood pins on a flat hood. it now has a 440 auto with 3.91 gears. it ran a 12.50 through the mufflers with a slipping trans and a smaller cam with 3.55 gears a few years ago at silver dollar raceway. we had it painted white and filled it full of mud at the time just to get her on the road. now it needs to be done right with quarters and the usual E body rust parts. which will come in due time but with a 3 year old girl and a 1 year old boy it will be a lil while. a few years ago i found a 74 cuda and bought it and gave it to my dad to return the favor. we have a total of 9 mopars we play with. i bleed mopar and damn proud of it.
