Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
Same here the Blue Dart (R.I.P.) was a driver, it had nicks and dings in the body, the motor was clean but not sterile but never the less it got a ton of attention, kids loved it, old men talked for an hour about seeing cars like this back in the 80's when the whole prostreet category was new. Now the truck my dad has of course is a completely different category, perfect paint, perfect everything cause of course its a rarely driven (work takes him everywhere a lot, he wants to be home but gotta do what pays the bills, so not his fault) and it usually wins or places at every show it enters. In fact last Saturday in Muncy Pa at a all mopar show we took first in our category. Me myself I'd rather have a daily driver or a driver car then a show car cause I like driving them everywhere to shows, the track or just to cruise ins. I think it was 3 weeks before my blue dart was wrecked, I drove it 300 miles one way to a show while my dad trailered his truck there. his was all clean and shiny and mine looked like it came out of the swamp cause a lime truck I was following hit a bump and sloshed the lime crap all over the dart........ that was fun time cleaning it up, but I won that time for 1. Youngest driver 2. peoples driver choice while my dad won best in show..........
sorry for the rant and long sentence...... lots of coffee very hyper
