6 hour trip in my Barracuda
Went to NW Washington to get my Barracuda from my father. He has had it a few years to enjoy for his retirement (he was the original owner -- since new). Drove it back to Portland, OR.
Some thoughts.
Car ran extremely well. Cruised down I-5 at 65 mph without a problem. Got about 20mpg!
When I pushed it to 70, engine handled it fine, but there was a shake. I suspect a balance problem in the wheels.
My lower back isn't talking to me at the moment. These cars certainly don't necessarily have the lumbar support like my Honda!
I plan to enjoy the car now and take it to cruises in the Portland area.
Some pics from the trip:
