New from Connecticut
« on: April 16, 2009 - 12:59:36 PM »
Hello CC members.  I joined CC.com last week and I thought it was time to introduce myself.  I live in Connecticut and I have a 70 Barracuda and a 68 Barracuda.  The 68 is a formula S 340 fastback model and it's all stock.  The numbers match and I restored it several years ago.  The 70 on the other hand is not so stock.  I bought it 3 years ago and, at some point, it had been turned into a Cuda.  Nothing is original on this car, but I'll tell you 1 thing about it.  I'm having so much fun with this car.  I just finished putting a Keisler 5 speed in it.  Worth every penny.  It is a factory V02 two-tone paint car.  FE5 Rally Red body with an EW1 Alpine white roof.  Unfortunately, the previous owner did not realize this and installed a black vinyl roof on it.  None the less, it looks great.  That's it for now.  Now let's see it I could post a picture.............          Mike

Welcome to the site, Mike.  Great looking rides?  Whereabouts in CT are you?  There's a good number of members with you up there in southern New England.  I grew up in SE CT, but have since been transplanted down south.

Hi Dave, I'm in upper Fairfield county.  There are a lot mopars in CT but I don't know anyone who is a CC.com member.  I can't believe how many members this site has.  Honestly, this message board thing is all new to me.  But so far, it's cool.

Welcome, you'll love this site if you have any topics to research or discuss. Most supportive group of car nuts I've ever run across. I live in Columbia CT and there's a bunch of Mopar maniacs around here!
