Looked at my title and and saw that I bought my car 15 years ago to the day.... how long has everyone owned their A-Bodies?
 
Well, I appropriated my dad's 1967 Barracuda fastback in 1982, I forget what time of year. So that's 33 years. And now I've had his 67 Barracuda convertible for about 5-1/2 months.

Bought the car in 2010, so 5 years total, and its been a blast ever since then. Didn't get it "restored" with a slant six till my junior year (2012). Now it has everything in my signature all bought on a college student budget. It will be forever a project car

Bought my 68 Bcuda in 77, put it on blocks 'til 96. Wanted to get'er done for her 40th BD in 98. Registered her in 99.Missed by a year....I did not insure it this summer, so I guess she's semi-retired, like me.......
 
I ordered "Ole Blue" and took delivery on May 3,1967. That's 48 years and 6 months.

I've owned my Scamp for 21 years and my grandmother owned it from new to 1994.
