I have photos on two laptops and flash drives. You never know!For my photo file. This car is a time capsule. It is stunning! It even smells new! If your computer ever crashes I have a few photos.
Does anyone have a Satin Beige XX1 68 Barracuda?

And it is quite delicious! I might have to pull the trigger on another one.
Must be good for you to consider a second!
Yes. Ted and I got into mine last night and he is looking for one. There are a few around town. Most I saw were in the $120+ range. Still not too bad.

Is this one of the Mopars out of a dealership maybe in Montana or around there ? Had a chance to buy it maybe 30yrs ago from the kid that inherited the dealership cars from maybe a grandfather/uncle ?
This one came from Holdredge, Nebraska. Linder Motors was dealership name, owned by Kenneth Linder.

Yep - that was it - really nice guy that inherited the cars.....wish I had the money back then to buy the Cuda....just wasn't in the cards - he really wasn't asking that much considering. This was waaaay before the Lambert Chevy auction.
Cool, more history! The car was in Texas when I purchased it in 2002. I have a pic of my car and a Chrysler 300 sitting in the dealership from 1984, the year Kenneth passed away.

Yes....the funny thing is he had brought either the car - I think he did - or some pictures and was set up at the old Traders Village Swap meet where I had been setting up a few years. The good days were around that time - late 1990's to early 2000....it's gotten really small now days and I just go to visit. The swap meet was put on back then by The Classic Chevy Club in the area - The Arlington, Tx GM plant was right down the street.
What I remember was that yes there were maybe 5 low milage cars that were the dealership had - left over? - that were inherited. Think they were I hate to say plain janes so to speak but all with the low mileage. The Cuda was to me the sportiest of the bunch and of course what I was into.....just could swing the money - think it was only around $2500.....does that make sense ? Of course that was late 1990's or early 2000's.....

There were over 100 cars stored all over town when he passed is what I was told. Most were low miles but junk because left outside. I think family kept a few but sold most of it. I think it was a step son that had the Barracuda around Arlington, TX. He was not a kid in early 2000's, thinking late 50's, early 60's. Had heart issues.

Sorry.....he was maybe young looking or maybe it was his son.....still if I remember he was driving age and I think I was telling him to keep it !
Good advice. However, at the end of the story I have the car!
