I have posted the photo I had handy, of my 1971 Barracuda. My husband bought it used in 1974, we ran it as an everyday driver until about 1980. Then it went into storage for the winter, stayed there. He did start it occasionally, it needed a few repairs, worked on it some about 20 yr ago. After he died I sent it to a custom shop for a going-over, in 2019, and have had it on the road since. I am not enough of a mechanic to do that all myself. It's really cool to drive, does not look like a "show car" because I have not repainted it, done only necessary mechanical stuff. I take it to shows, and drive it around sometimes just to "exercise" it.

These cars were meant to be driven and enjoyed so good for you. I’m sure your husband is smiling down on you every time you hit the key in it.:thumbsup:
