Absolutely right. We've been here a year and a half and haven't seen any other 1st Gen Barracudas.
I didn't get pictures of it myself but here are two of the Lamborghini Huracon STO that was there last night. The group that put on the cruise-in (Pirates on the Panhandle) posted them.
Our University Ave. cruise on Labor Day got a few hundred cars. A later model Corvette parked next to my 64. They either left or moved because they only stayed for about 30 min. I had a lot of action around my car. No one around their car. The old Mopars were the cars people's parents and grandparents had and are approachable because of the memories. New Corvettes not so much. 
Funny you say that (sit very low, rattly) I feel the same way. Don't like the low, low slung feel. A lot of the sports cars are that way. I prefer a real Muscle car like our A-bodies that is based on an every day car with a big engine. They are a lot more comfortable. My uncle had a 68 Corvette (327) low slung, low to the ground, stiff and rattly. Terrible ride, but It looked like a million bucks on the outside. I would choose my Duster 360 over that Corvette any day of the week
I can’t afford an E body so I choose to hang with the peasants that can only afford A bodies!!!!
Well it would be hard to pass on a 57 Vette in Roman Red with white inlets and red interior. I might put up with a few rattles… lol.
Funny thing is I even like driving my 68 Barracuda more than my 69 340 4sp Swinger. It feels so much smaller . Weird….

C'mon I own an E-body and I'm not that way.
People are people there is always one in the crowd.

MOPAR .. Move Over, Plymouth Approaching Rapidly!
I can see why.I converse with them on purpose. Makes them look like jackwagons if they don't want to talk. .
Then when my A Body attracts more attention, that's icing on the cake.
That Dart is awesome.
Great stance!!

I am an E-body owner as well (actually have had 4 of them), but I have had multiple A-bodies as well. There are those owners in every crowd- Vettes, Vipers, Hemi owners, Hellcat owners - I am one of those as well, Redeye owners, etc,etc...
I think those exist in every group, so I think it's the person, not the group... I enjoy and appreciate all cars and what people do to them - even if it's not my preference...

This ^^^^
You are either an asshat or not. The make and model of the car you drive has nothing to do with it. Was sounding like this thread needed to be in N&P with all the labels and categorizing being applied.
It's kinda hard when the guy's wife is mumbling under her breath and her nose is pointing straight up in the air. lol probably better the husband didn't open his mouth.
Exactly and I'll go further. How many MOPARS do you see at events compared to everything else? You'd THINK Mopar guys would stick together, but NOOOOOOOO.
I'll talk to anyone about their car. Shoot, I'll talk to a fence post if I knew it would talk back.
It was just something that hadn't happened before parking next to an e-body for the first time..
I was more disheartened than pissed.

I've had some experiences with a certain mopar group from a large city in Cali. Bunch of snot nosed a-holes when I was running around in my Swinger 340. Say nice ride, answer Yeah I know... not thanks or appreciate it... yeah I know. F off. Wasn't a B or E so not worthy of being spoken too or with.
As Rusty said, they are all Mopars, nope... attitude.
I'll check out a /6 E convertible before looking at another original or cloned hemi E variant.
Give me a LS6 or a 68-69 396/375hp Chevelle, 70.5 z28, Goat with a ram air IV, 69-70 Mach 1 or 70 Torino 351C or a SCJ in it. Take them all. Prefer my mopars (esp 440-6's) and I've had some cool ones over the years.
As I used to tell my employees, no customer ever pisses you off... you allow that customer to piss you off. Same applies here. Just move on from the a-hole group.

To be honest, the guy probably didn't know anything about the car.
Consider it their loss, my friend. I missed you movin to Florida. When did that happen? lol
I’ve had some good talks with inanimate objects. God is always willing to listen!!
Thanks! It was a quick thing.
The company I was working for was bought out by a Billion dollar company. Shortly after my boss was "down-sized" and I just had a feeling my number was coming. So I stzrt looking and a see an opening online fir a site manager for the custodial contract on Hurlburt Field Air Force Base in Fort Walton Beach Florida. Well, I jumped on the chance to work on a Base again.
I accepted the position on a Tuesday and figured I'll tell my new boss on Friday. On Thursday I get a video conference request and they "down-sized" me. Jokes on them!! I didn't say anything because I got a small severance. That was almost a year and a half ago.
We chose Navarre to live and bought a house the same day we closed on our house in Rome. God Is Good.
Never I. My life did I think I'd live in Florida. We love it, I just need get busy installing A/C in the Barracuda, lol.
Well cool. It's always amazing to see God at work.

And that could be part of it too.... Those women who don't want to be where they are can really make trying to be sociable difficult... Not saying that's the case & it doesn't excuse the guys behavior...
But I've been at events with a woman that was not happy... Which meant I wasn't gonna be happy... For the past thirty years I've been with a car girl... She at the very least tolerates my hobby & often actually enjoys it....
But it's not often I do car shows or cruise in type events.. We are more into driving, we organize group drives, anywhere from 3-4 cars up to 30+ cars... We pick stops along the way where there are wineries, apple orchards, small mountain communities... Places the women (and men) enjoy stopping at...
More of a rolling car show...
All I'm saying is that's a pretty broad brush to paint all E body owners as pricks when this is the first time you've parked beside one....
