Very nice capture Paul.
Do you recall what the focal length was?
I'd prefer a little more OOF background, but still very nice as is.

Subject: PESO: A Million Dollar Maybe
I shot this car at a show in Ohio. I was camped out at a nearby
airport, and the magazine editor sent the cars to me that he wanted
shot. This one arrived in a trailer, and I had to shoot it under heavy
clouds with intermittent drizzle. We had just wiped some raindrops off
of it here. The car is a 1971 Barracuda with a 426 cid hemi and four
speed. It's 100% numbers matching, fully documented from the day it
was born and a 99 point + rotisserie restoration. While these cars
were fun, they were cheaply made and twisted like a pretzel under
acceleration. But there nostalgia pieces. The last one this nice to be
sold at auction went for more than a million dollars. This car should
bring close to that if sold, although I think the present owner
intends to keep it. The original owner sold it several years after he
had purchased it for $1500.
