Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
After I graduated high school it was time to get a job. I wasn't picky. I'd have taken anything. The biggest criteria was to get a paycheck. Factory jobs tend to pay the best when you have no job experience yet. But I applied everywhere I could. Eventually I was hired by Walker Manufacturing in Seward, Nebraska. They made tail pipes and mufflers. It was long hours and hard work but it could've been worse. I could have started out doing construction.
The longer I owned my Roadrunner the more I loved it. Women still weren't fighting over me after I had the flames painted on.
As a matter of fact, even more of them seemed to give me funny looks.
This was the mid seventies and the invasion of 'Jap' cars was really starting to take off after the gas crisis. But I was amongst the crowd that referred to them as Jap crap.
I began to associate with more and more guys that were into Chrysler products. They were a motley crew. - You could tell us apart from those Chebby boys.
When you're around these Plymouths and Dodges it starts to get under your skin. I think that my own family even began embracing Mopars. You could see it in their eyes.
