Hi everybody

My name is Marco from Switzerland. I bought in December 2016 an 1968 Plymouth Barracuda 340 S Fastback for my wife. It's was rebuild 20 years ago from the prevues owner to stock specifications, except the upgrade to brake discs. I'm infected with the Mopar Virus when i was 15 years old. I made a learnship as a car mechanic and my hobby was wrenching on my friends 69 Drag Cuda. My first Plymouth was a 1964 Plymouth Valiant Signet 200 Hardtop Coupe postless, i putt in a self rebuild 340 6pack in front of the 4 speed, a 140 mp/h little rocket. Next was a daily 67 valiant six banger 4 speed. Both were sold to put the money in a 66 1/2 Satellite, converted to a stroker 493 in in front of a 4 speed again. The main thing was to start drag racing, it currently runs a 11.8 @ 118 mph in the quarter, full steel body and interior.
The Barracuda is my first automatic car, power steering and close to stock car. I think i'm getting old.....

You will be surprised how many cars and parts are hanging around here! Today the internet makes it so easy. Luckywise i had never a problem with any US company, it was always nice to deal with them.
 
Welcome, you're miles ahead of me, all yours run.

Mine is a big pile of parts. Actually several piles and 3 or 4 boxes!

The pre-owner did the hole work for me ( 20 years ago), i called it a restoration of the restoration. But i know the box feeling, i bought a Norton Commando in a box and made it new. Unfortunately she pissed me of, and i sell the bike and invested the money for the Cuda ( luckywise ).
