Other good stuff about this Barracuda from a previous owner:

Car is originally from Birmingham, Alabama…bought twenty years ago from original owner by a North Alabama local that moved to Seattle. Everyone that sees the car wants to buy it, but he wouldn’t sell to anybody. Until I came along. I happened to be in the right place at the right time. Car needs some work, but is in excellent condition for a car that hasn’t been stored.
