Show Us Pictures of 2nd Generation Barracudas
Ah Ma Snart...I see you found pics of my red '69 'cuda 440 and posted them for others to enjoy. I have visited your thread for some time now and was hoping that my car would show up since I was too lazy to post them myself. She has been my passion for the last thirteen years. I bought her from the second owner in 1999 and took five years to restore her to look like the day she rolled off the assembly line. During the restoration I came to be friends with the original owner and we visited regularly over the phone. In 2004 I brought her to the very first Mopars at the Strip in Las Vegas where the original owner lives. He cried when he saw her, said she looked like the day he bought her. He got to drive her some and I saw the love in his eyes for this car just like the love that I have acquired for her. BTW, she won first place in her class and best of show in the a-bodies at that show. She sits covered up in storage most of the time now. Each time I think about selling her I will get her out, put on some 1969 Keystone Klassic Mags with modern radial tires and feel what these cars were built to do. There are some beautiful and fast second generation barracudas on this thread, but for me these 1969 m-code 'cudas are the ultimate (but I may be a little prejudiced). Thanks for sharing pics of my car. Jessie (cudajess)
