While this is not a 2nd gen Cuda, it is a cousin from which the 2nd gen evolved. Thought you might enjoy to see a picture of a mud puppy...

Very nice fish, Rudy!!

Sorry I did not post your car before, but I don't think I have pictures of your car - Now I do!

I grew up just south of you in Upper Sandusky. I am setting in Deleware, Ohio right now at my brother's house I type this.

By the way you will see HemiMark in one of the photos standing in front of his new orange hemi fish.

About 15 years ago I went to go look at a camping trailer that was an hour away & turned out to be a huge pile of crap that you would have to be paid to take away instead of buying it. It appeared to be a total waste of time & gas until my wife spotted a yard sale & said, "Let's stop & look around." She was driving so I had no choice, but I was actually happy about stopping this time.

As she pulled into the driveway I spotted a bright red, 1968 Barracuda convertible under a pine tree with no plates on it. No plates meant it might be for sale, so I walked right by the tables covered with dust collectors, drool stained baby toys & broken veg-a-matics & went right over to the car. It was a little rough in the fenders & quarters, but it was complete & had a top that was in decent shape.

There was a kid guarding the tables to make sure my wife wasn't going to stuff her purse with a ceramic Elvis statue, so I asked him if the car was for sale. He said he would go find his Grandfather & ask him. When the kid returned, his Grandfather was with him who said to me, "The car was on lawn for sale two weeks ago & some guy said he'd take it so I parked it out back. He never came back so it's still for sale."

I asked how much & expected to hear a high number, but was told $600. I then asked if it ran, & was told that the starter was dying but it might turn over. It did, so I went around the block with it. My wife was shocked that we found a running & driving Barracuda ragtop for $600. I made towing arrangements since it ran rough & had been off the road for a while & got it home.

Turns out the engine, a slant 6, had low compression in half of the cylinders & it needed quite a bit of body work. I gathered up some parts over the next couple of years, but bailed on it & sold it to a friend for the $900 I had into it. I had my hands full with my other car, & this one was the toughest one to find parts for. He & his son have been working on it, but I haven't talked to him in a while & don't know what progress they've made. Last I saw it, it was a stripped down shell that was sand blasted.

Cool story, Old Moparz. Never know when some jewel in the rough will show up.
