                                                                                                                        tHIS IS MY 1971 PLYMOUTH Barracuda, It was a 318/4 speed green metalic but had been painted about 7 times over the years. I bought the car for 5000.00 in 2003 and it took me 2 years to talk the man out of it, the car was hidden in a barn and and he had many offers on the car but did not want it to go to someone who would not fix her right. My father and i have been working on it night and weekends and as money allowed for the past 5 years. it has been worth the wait, we just did start it and got it to move under her own power again after five years sunday july 27 2008, i still have a way to go to get her finished but here is the rundown on what we have done, total rotisseried the body, the car had minimal rust but any that was found after sand blasting was cut out and replaced....mostly just small pinholes but we had to do it right. MY father and i run a restoration shop called Just Metal American Muscle Car Restorations, so every car is an advertisement. Back to the car.....
