A nice '64-'66 Barracuda seen in my travels in eastern Ontario. I don't know enough about them to know exactly which year this one is but it's nice to see this survivor. About 125,000 were built over the 3 year period.
I briefly owned one of those in the seventies: 283, 4-speed, jacked in back and painted black. Funny, I remember it as being much, much uglier than this speciment. My recollection, though, could be tainted by the aching memory of what an awful automobile it was.
An aunt of mine had one, it had a manifold vacuum gauge among the clocks. I was 10, and in awe of what I imagined to be the driving skills required to monitor and react to the flicking needle (for a while...).

I remember one in my 'hood back in the day... orangey-red, jacked up (weren't they all?) Cragars, I really liked the look of the car.
ReplyDelete'64-'66, IIRC.
ReplyDeleteAnybody else remember the Hurst Hemi Under Glass?

And equally aerodynamic in reverse...
ReplyDeleteProbably more so! They said the same thing about the Chrysler Airflow! You’d think they’d learn..
