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.

sweet color here. I think I would have liked to have seen the fronts
tires turned camera right, but not terribly important.
