Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

That roll cage looks great!

I bought two kits of Carrera track for my kids way before they were old enough to appreciate - much less handle or build - them. They are so much fun!


These days kids all want to sit around playing video games. I don't have anything against it except I think that too many of them spend too much time focused on the tube. There are so many different forms of entertainment out there. I still think that Play-Doh is one of the best toys ever invented.

The racetrack is a nice addition to the basement. With the pinball machines, X-Box, board games, and the movie theater there's plenty of variety downstairs. Outside they've got a park a few blocks away and a croquet set here. As important as I believe it is to learn a good work ethic when they're young, they're only going to be kids for a short time. Too many are influenced by television and want to get into serious boyfriend/girlfriend relationships (sex) when they should still be doing kid stuff.

Yesterday I was thinking that I needed some Mopars for the track so I went online and bought a few. Actually, I bought a pair of Mopars and a pair of Fords. I always liked late 60s/early 70s NASCAR racing so I got a Superbird, a Roadrunner, and a pair of Torinos.

Some day I'd like to have a collection of 'movie cars' for the track. I loved the movie GRAND PRIX and would like a pair of those cars from 1967. I thought the movie RUSH was awesome and would like to get replicas of James Hunt's and Niki Lauda's cars also.
