71' Barracuda Newbie here
« on: August 02, 2010 - 08:56:23 PM »
Hi Guys, a neighbor told me about the site last week and was so impressed I sighed up.

I have a 1971 Barracuda convertible with a 340 auto w/ 3:55 posi. I got the car about a year after high school and spent 5 years gather/searching for parts. I was basicly a shell when I got it, No motor,tranny,fenders or grill. It was an original burnt orange 6 cyl with white interior and power windows.

I built the car they I would have liked it to come out of the factory and been having fun with it for the last 23 years. ;D Looking forward to chatting with like minded mopar nuts like myself.  :biggrin:
