Looking for a Barracuda for TV
« on: August 26, 2010 - 05:49:08 PM »
Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum so let me introduce myself.  I direct the Flashbacks that are part of the show MuscleCar on Spike TV's Powerblock every weekend. If you don't watch the show, the Flashback is a profile on a classic muscle car. We've done several profiles of 'Cudas, like the AAR and a '71 440, but we haven't covered the first and 2nd gen Barracuda.  I'm looking for a 65-69 Formula S or '69 'Cuda to do a 3 minute Flashback onI'm also interested in one of the rare 68 Hemi Barracudas.   The basic criteria is that it has to look pretty much how it came originally, inside and out...I guess you would call it stock-appearing.  Preferably it needs a 4-speed and a bright original style paintjob.  The more rare options the better.  Engine doesn't have to be numbers matching but must be correct for the car.   

Our studio is located near Nashville, Tennessee. You would need to bring it here for a day of shooting, where you and only you will be driving the car around. The 3-minute segment will be devoted entirely to your car. I'd like to shoot this in the fall and it will air sometime in early '11, the start of our next season. Please email me at jhutcheson@rtmtv.com if you are interested or have more questions. I don't check the forum as often as my email, so email is the best way to get a hold of me.

Oh, and I know what you might be thinking...is this a scam? Well, you can call the number below and check us out. It's for real. Maybe you are thinking...Nashville, that's a long way away for me. But think of it as like going to a car show, but instead of showing off your car to a couple thousand people, a couple million people will see how great it is on national TV.

Thanks,

Ken, you need to re-read his post, that beast of yours is no where near stock.  :grinno:

But it would be great to see it and you on TV though.  :dogpile:

I was thinking of a street legal SS car for him to check out. It isn't a perfect re-creation, but it is pretty dang close......    :2thumbs:

No, we're in western Arkansas, but the car will be in St. Louis next weekend for the Monster Mopar Weekend aero car gathering.
I would love to see pics of any other black birds.
