Great job!  My first barracuda was a '74,  bought it in 1983 & sold it a few years later.  i wish i had kept it.  it was a 318/auto, with AC, and the same blue as yours, but with a blue interior, black top & stripe.  had a lot of fun with that car!  can't wait to see yours completed!

Thanks for the comments. It has been along time ago that the Cuda has looked this nice.I have about 20 days left and it will be on the streets.Bought it new in 1974 and have all paper work with it also.It was one of two Cudas bought by the dealership 1974. Both cars were B5 blue and 318's. My Dad was a mechanic for the dealership for over 30 years. Got to see lots of nice Mopars thru the years.I love my new Challenger but my heart is in the BLUECUDA. Her name is BLUE.My Challenger is inferno red and her name is RUBY. Enjoy this site very much. And love the new shirts.
