Hi guys

New member here and new Barracuda owner.

While my twenties have been creeping by I've been desperate to buy my first yank. Forever been a massive Mopar fan but they always seemed out of reach. I finally decided to take the plunge while I'm still young (ish) and try and get hold of a second generation Barracuda.

A few months ago I found a fantastic 67 out in the Californian desert and I was ready to bring it over. Unfortunately over the course of a week our economy plummeted and It just became too expensive.

Feeling a little deflated I decided i'd just have to wait untill the exchange rated normalised. Then this RHD 69 appeared just up the road and within my budget. I hadn't been after a RHD but it doesn't offend me as much as it does others. Plus the disc brakes and stiffer suspension on this package are a welcome addition.

It's missing some bits and needs work here and there but overall I love it. Such fun.

I look forward to getting to know you all.

Welcome Fieber,I was mucking about with Escorts at you age so fair play to you for taking the plunge

Welcome!

Those RHD Bacarudas are great cars. Basically a Formula S with a 318, as I'm sure you know. That looks like a really nice example too.

My first Mopar was a '67 Formula S when I was in my early 20's, that was a lifetime ago, a bit later on I had a RHD '68 as a daily, I love 'em!

Looks lovely. My first Mopar would have been one of those but sadly it was rotten. Still felt like a million dollars driving it on the test run. Good luck with it

That's a pretty damn first Mopar, let alone a first Yank
