1969 Barracuda 340 Formula S Restoration
Back to this current restoration project
The Barracuda was sold new by Raynal Plymouth in Detroit MI and later traded by the original owner at a used car lot in Holland MI.
The 2nd owner purchased it from the used car lot in 1975. He spun the #1 rod bearing in the 340 and it was parked. There was some kind of "domestic dispute" with his wife and she took out her revenge on his Cuda by smashing in the side and front of the Cuda!!! She must have been really ticked off!!!!
The 3rd owner - Norm VerHage - bought the car in the summer of 1978 for $25.00!!!!! He repaired the damage and did a full restoration on the car in 1978-1979. Norm won several awards and also drag raced it several times.
As the 4th owner, I bought the car from Norm in July 1988 for $9,375.00 USD and imported it into Ontario.
These are the "revenge" photos
