your Mopar's story

Bought my first mopar at 15 that was 40 years ago was a 64 valiant /6 push button tranny traded it for 68 cuda that turned into my first street strip car.
Many mopars in between left the hobby in the 70's .
Now have come full circle was driving around and found a 67 notch barracuda sitting in a field watched it sit for a couple years went to door and asked story.
The owners daughter said her dad was second owner he got it from his sister and wanted to fix it but was in poor health after haggling over price I purchased it from her.
There was one condition of sale after I had the car running I had to bring it for him to see.
went back to see him about a year later only to find out he was in hospice with not much time left.
Asked permission to go see him and she took me there with the car we were able to get him sprung long enough for a drive with me all he did was smile the whole time said it made his day.
I spent the last year going there at least once a month to take him for a ride sadly our last ride was 2 weeks ago on a warm winter day he passed 2 days later.
last thing he told me was that there is a butt for ever seat and drive like hell and have fun.
