A very good example of resto cost and value of a 69 Cuda
first off, let me apologize to anyone on FABO who doesn't like lawyers. i'm sorry for whatever "bad" treatment you may have suffered. i practiced for 28 years but i am now retired. i enjoy my collection of Barracudas much more than i ever enjoyed practicing law.
as to the red Barracuda i posted. i am not here to act like an "expert" on anything about old mopars. i have 50 years of experience with these cars as i had a new 68 Formula S when i was in high school 1970-72. i do know A LOT about these cars, but i don't know "everything." so if some of you are offended sometimes by what i say, i'm sorry. i try to say things like "that's my experience" or "i've seen this" or "that's the way this used to be when the car was new" - stuff like that. but i am always trying to learn something new about old mopars and i often do right here on FABO.
a lot has been said here about a car being "original" or "correct". it was not my intention to present the red Barracuda as an example of a "correct" or "original" car. my intention was to show what a nicely restored car looked like and how that particular car was in line with current market values of these cars. that's all.
i have hundreds of computer files on these cars. one of the best "original" Formula S cars i have saved is presented below. i believe it is very original and very correct car. i'm not asking for any arguments here. i'm just posting a car for some of you to look at that "appears to me" to be very correct based upon my "memory" of what this car would have looked like in 1968. everyone is welcome to offer their own opinions - as is the custom here on FABO.
