Good evening from Alaska

[Bushtroop]

I have become an old man but I still have the passion for Barricudas/Cudas I developed 47 years ago. In 1981 I returned an abused Cuda to a thing of beauty with no idea what i needed to do or how. I was forced to sell it a year later due to a job transfer to an island in South East Alaska. I've searched for the remnants of that Cuda as recently as the summer of 2023, canvasing a rural neighborhood to no avail. Some years ago my sweetheart authorized the purchase of a same year, make and model. It is a huge project for me, but as I said, the "passion" remains. Be well. r

Welcome to FEBO. Do it twice you do it twice as nice! Your passion drove you the first time. Experience will guide you the second time around.

Welcome to FEBO from the desert! Nice 340 Cuda! I've always loved every generation of Plymouth Barracudas!

"You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees
Now wouldn't you, barracuda? Oh"

Welcome aboard.
Last in Alaska in 2001 on a hunting trip, was extracted from the field September 10th, then things shut down. Ended up driving from Anchorage to Ohio. I would love to go back though...

Came here 65 years ago. I get "Outside" (lower 48 states) every 12 years or so. I know there are pretty places down there, but, I've got it about as good as anyone could. be well

Welcome from Ohio. Love the color of your barracuda.

I love the slot mags on the older Cuda , weird tho , never recall seeing 6 slot mags like you had on the front , only 5 slot like the rear !
