Early Barracuda Car-**** Picture thread.

[goldfish65]

Most of you have met Goldie, he's not a Formula S, just acquired the badges after past fender-benders. Goldie will never be a show car. Lots invested in bodywork and paint, dual exhaust, wheels, tires, radiator, even a custom tint job for the rear window. Needs quite a bit more but it's on hold for now, but still likes to get down the road every other week or so. Could not have made it this far without the help of certain FABO members, you know who you are! In three years has never left me stranded!

Wow, some awesome Early's here!

Heres my "66, not quite done yet, but are they ever. At least its road worthy so my son and I are going to enjoy like it is for now.
Funny thing is, he took it to school today and when he got home he put it right in the garage. After dinner he needed to run an errand and took moms Explorer, when she asked why he didn't take the Barracuda, he said "Its already tucked in for the night."

 

[seabee]

I like that all-gunmetal look!

 

[Badart]

Dang those Magnum 500's look good on there.

 

[Darwin]

Thanks seabee, most of the trim was in pretty bad shape so, being this was a low budget build,(lol) we decided to go with an understated color and let the lines of the car do the talking.

Badart, the painted Mag 500's helped me pull off the understated look, besides, thats what I had laying around the garage for the last 25 yrs.

Nick, do you ever go to the Chula Vista Car shows on Tuesdays?

 

[low_kota]

Thank You!

My car isn't quite ready for the road just yet so I just spectate for now... You may have seen my dads car at the sonic cruise a few times. He has the 59 Saratoga 2 door hard top that is still in primer. He doesn't take it out much since it still needs painted, but it has been to the sonic cruise a few times and the show at JJ's in St. Charles.

Just got her a month ago. Guy I got her from spent 17 years putting her back together. Adding my touches to her but otherwise just enjoying the living heck out of her. I'm in North atlanta suburbs but have not seen another one yet...in a town this big I'm sure there are a few lurking about.

 

[caferacerx]

man that thing is clean! you could eat off it
and don't bet on their being many more of them around you
looking on here I get the illusion that they are everywhere
until I stop and think when was the last time I seen one in person

hey I see you got the pic thing down

 

[pishta]

Here is mine when it was a driver..laid up for quite some time now.

340 in top pics, 451 powered in bottom.

 

[harleydodge1]

Here's mine. Nothing special just a good everyday driver with a 318, vintage air, auto and Pro Sport gauges. It has a 66 rear half with a 65 front clip.

 

[Tincup]

Nice looking bucket of fish....

seabee,
I have not been to the chula vista cruise. have been to La mesa on thursday and the elcajon cruise on wednesday. I have never had the barracuda to any cruise though... too embarrased to chug around on 7 cylinders, motor should be in by next summer i hope
