1968 Barracuda fastback

I could drive it to Sweatgrass Montana on the boarder with Alberta on highway 4. I don't have or want a passport so that's all the further us Montana folk can go.

I did go downtown for a cruise last weekend at night and the lights were working right. I think I just had an old fuse. The water on the floormats in the picture is not from the leak, the leak is just a few drops after sitting in the rain all day, that moisture is from my shoes after I had been washing the car. I also painted the rest of the stripe in on the passenger fender where it was missing.

If you notice, the drivers door is black on the inside and silver in the jam. Many years before I had it that door was hit and replaced and they didn't paint the panel or the jam. The striker is also weak on that door and the windows on that side aren't smooth as they should be. The other side works much better and is straighter except that front fender.

Sometimes I think I should get some simple body work done and cover up all these flaws but I would rather have a nice interior or at least new front seats first. At least you can see what is under the paint. The car has been repainted by Maaco in Kent WA Oct. 1992. And the door and body work was done a month before that by a guy named Scott Jacobson in Renton WA. This car seems like it was well used on the mean streets of Seattle it's whole life up till I got it. It's never had the luxury of being a trailer queen! To me the body fits its function just fine.
