Other good stuff about Melanie’s Barracuda:
Purchased from Roger and Carol Hibschman on Oct. 31, 2012. The car currently has 81,000 miles believed to be original. A new top was installed in the winter of 2013 and mechanical’s freshened up. (brakes, exhaust, tires, new windshield, a/c, battery, valve seals, etc.) The paint was buffed out, and the interior received a deep cleaning. The car runs and drives very good and is very reliable. It also gets about 16 mpg on the highway with the a/c on. We took it to Somernites Cruise in Somerset KY. for Mopar month in May, 2013. It was well received.
