Finally got my M-Code Cuda

hey clifftt...

thanks for the encouraging words. i've followed barracuda prices for over 8 years now. this car will be my 4th barracuda. it is very hard to find the right combination of decent car to start with; not too much "major" repairs; reasonable selling price; and final value after the car is done. so far i've been able to find cars that i could sell at any time and break even or make a little profit. when it comes to M-Code 69 Cudas, it has been VERY hard to find a car in the price range and condition i set as pre-conditions. as i said, it took 5 years - but i did find one that will not break the bank in restoring. it does help that i have a complete shop and was a body man myself for many years. the only way you can avoid dropping $50-60k on restoring these cars is if you can do all or most of the work yourself. if you're the type that wants a "collector car" but really can't do much work yourself - well, then you need a VERY big checkbook.

like i said, i'm looking forward to doing this car. i think it's going to be B5 Blue with black stripes and black interior. i like that combination. i'll post pictures on FABO as the project advances.
