Lets talk abt 1st cars!

1974 - 1st car owned was a 67 Barracuda coupe 273 2 barrel auto on column $400

it had been thru a fence and scratched all down the pass side, 4 bald tires and the drivere seat seams were coming apart.

I was 15 and had a few months before I got my lisence. uncle Mayburn owned a body shop so after getting it home and cleaning it up some it was off to the body shop. $200 to repair and paint it. My brother & I were to do the trim removal and help with body work. 2 days after taking it I got a job and couldn't go work on it. It was ice blue with black vinyl top, I hated the light blue and told my uncle I wanted it midnight blue.

Since I couldn't go work on it he said it would be whatever color he felt like painting it. (he had a habit of mixing whatever paints he had)

Well it was midnight blue

My 1st car was suppose to be a 67 Barracuda coupe that was yellow with black premium interior, slant 6, auto, factory air, ps and the fancy wheel covers. I was 14 and dad took me to a dealer that had it on the used car lot. He said if he bought it and I kept it clean then when i got my lisence he would sell it to me for $750. he paid $1400 for it. My sister was 2 years older and when she seen it she wanted it. Dad said we would find another.

Before I got my car my other sister needed a car and she ended up with a 67 Barracuda Formula S, so all 3 of us living at home and owned 67 Barracuda's
