Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
So with Teresa gone for the day and the skies clear, I headed out for a chicken dinner and the small car show. - Actually, it was more like a Show 'n Shine than a car show. Bee, Nebraska is a very small town and the guy that puts the show on doesn't charge a cent for the cars that enter. They actually give out discount coupons for the meal and then award door prizes to the entrants. It's very laid back and helps to attract more people to the church supper.
There were only 16 cars that showed up this year. That's less than half of their average. It started out chilly but warmed up as the afternoon progressed. I talked my buddy Ray into taking his '73 Duster. It's a slant 6 and he refers to it as his beater. It's not a bad car but with 4 Chargers, 2 Superbees, a GTX, and a Roadrunner in his stable it's closer to being a granny car than the rest.
Another buddy drove his '75 Roadrunner down but didn't park it with the rest of the cars. He'd stopped just long enough to chat for awhile and check out the rest of the cars. Doug's still got his 2 Superbees waiting at home until the car show season gets into full swing.
Despite the small showing it was still a nice day. I won a $25 gift certificate to U.S. Cellular and Ray got a certificate for a free pizza at a place in Seward, Nebraska. They don't do any judging on the vehicles so there aren't any separate classes for the cars. - Just a nice chance to get together and shoot the breeze.
The 'Cuda was running good but I kept my foot out of it while I was there. - After all, it was a 'church' event.
