Was in a wrecking yard and found my 66 Barracuda. That was good for a laugh.

Was heavily into 66 Chevelles years back. Had a Malibu wagon I bought from the original owner. He wanted a SS 396. The Mrs. wanted a wagon.
He ordered the wagon with a 275HP 327, 4 speed 3.08 posi and a knee knocker tach.
I ended up using parts off it and sadly thought it went to the crusher only to find its shell in a friends driveway a few years later.
He offered it to me but was too far gone by then.

Love to find my 67 Dart GT. The other 50+ I can live w/o.
