show me your early A!
I have owned this Barracuda since 1973. She used to be yellow w/Black pin stripes. I just found the Production Broadcast Report under the back seat springs in Sep. 2012. It was under there for 46 years, but came out nearly intact and is matching. I have the original owner's manual, and the Certi Card from the engine compartment with the original owner's name and address put on it from a label maker. Car was delivered June 9, 1966 in Columbus, Montana and driven to San Jose. Finally, in early November 2012, I found the original owner, and he sent me a photo of the Barracuda when it was a week old with "Just Married" written on that big back window and him and his wife standing next to it.
She has only been painted once. Everything is original inside and out, except for the exterior rear view mirror. She has the original 273, but it has been modified to gain efficiency (Comp Cam, Edelbrock carb and intake, special pistons and pushrods, and dual flowmasters) She is now sort of the Formula S/Commando that she never was in her first life-- but I did not add any such insignia to the body. 289,00 miles on her, as she used to be my daily driver for many years. Now she is just a head-turning beautiful 4-speed babe. I have never seen one as nice or original as this red girl. BTW-- a lot of the good work was done by Hayden Autoworks, Mission Viejo, CA. She has resided in northern Virginia since late 1997.
