Throwback Thursday

Cuda Al · Dec 27, 2018

Here is a picture of my Barracuda from May 1969 when my grandparents were visiting. That is me seen over the car. My brother ended up with the 55 Chevy, it was sold recently. The 63 Plymouth was traded in on a 72 Coronet wagon. My parents lived there till a couple years ago.

At the time the car still had redlines on it and the car appears to have door edge moulding on it.

Feel free to post away,

Alan

Ok Alan, here is my throwback Thursday pictures. My first car, bought with grass cutting money, $110.00. I was 15 so this is 1970. 62 Valiant V200 with a 61 Lancer front end and trunk lid. 225 with a 3 speed on the floor. Me, My Father, my brother, his friend, in front of the house I grew up in over a few years. We were a military family so we moved from here in 64 and then back in late 69. I dated my wife in this car, started my Mopar addiction and slant sickness.

Last picture is the full circle, there are parts on the wagon that were on that first Valiant.

Here is the car that all my dreams are made of. It was my dad’s car from new until the gas crunch of 1973, when it was sold and a 73 Satellite Sebring Plus with a happy little 318 was purchased to replace it. It’s a 440 6pak 4 speed convertible Super Trak Pak car. We loved this car and have been looking for it ever since. My brother still has the timeslips that show it was running 12:17 in completely stock trim, my dad would just crank up the torsion bars to raise the front and help distribute the weight to the rear.

Another couple....my GTX about 6 months after I traded my 64 Belvedere for it, and the same car today. Very little work has been don’t to it in the 25 years I’ve owned it, I just beat on it and fix what breaks!

My first Barracuda, a 68, around 1976 or so. My first race car the 66 cuda eventually donated its 273 commando engine to the 68 when it got a 340 transplant. After I blew up the 340 and sold the 66, a lot of the parts ended up on my 69 which I raced through the 1980's.

Here are some pics of my High School 68 Road Runner. Bought it in August of 72, after I rolled my 65 Barracuda on the Washington Beltway. Kept that car until 76, when I sold it and got a 69 A12 Super Bee. Got pics of the SB somewhere, but I need to scan them. Now I have a 68 GTS 383, a 70 Cuda 383, and a 65 Belvedere now 440.
