First Car -- 1968 Barracuda Notchback

Welcome and thanks for sharing your story (thus far) and pictures of you and the car. Brought back memories of my first car purchase at 16 (yikes, back in 1975...), it was a faded blue 64 Dodge Dart GT, 273, 2brl, 4 speed, bucket seat console car with single exhaust. I paid $400 for it, within 100 miles or so after it was inspected and I was driving it, it began the "Smokey MoPar" routine. What a blast I had with that smokey little car, collecting drain oil from all my friends to feed the oil hungry little engine and using "reconstituted" oil while waiting for my friends next oil change. Ah the memories.

Great luck to you and your car. Awesome to see younger folks getting into the hobby and helping to keep it alive!
