1970 Gran Coupe Barracuda I spotted while on my trip
« on: August 06, 2009 - 05:08:02 PM »
Hey Guys Just wanted to share a couple of pics of a  1970 Gran Coupe Barracuda.  Thought it was cool to see setting on the side of the road.  I know it needs a lot of tlc but it is nice to see another barracuda around.   :2thumbs:

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

what area was that in. Pretty rusty for car out here if it was alway out here. But a vinyl top would do that under the windshield. Maybe close to the beach once?

The car is in Port Huemme California and is right next to the ocean.  I just thought it was cool to drive down the street to my hotel and see it on the side of the road.  It may have got kicked out of some parking for not being driven or something.  Looked like a locked gate area or something.

There's a yellow 71 340 Demon that I see driven around Oxnard. Maybe not as rusted, but way more hammered. Good number of 67-76 Darts and such.

Was the back seat loaded with junk?  I might have seen this in Santa Barbara a couple months ago.

It looked like there was stuff in the rear seat.  Could be the same car I guess.
