    Well I don't know if any of that writing made sense, but I'll just blame my being so excited about that huge greenhouse and those great graphics. I'm in Berlin now and the cars over here are wild - there was a gold SM a block away from my apartment!

    @voodoojoo: I have always wanted to try roasting kielbasa in the back window. When I knew a guy with one, it was in too cold a climate. And when I lived in Houston, I didn't know anybody with a 'cuda. You might say my desires have been 'foiled'. Because all I would have needed that close to the Equator, would have been a righteous Barracuda and some aluminum wrapping.

    Batter up!

    One of my earliest memories is of driving through town, looking up at the sky while laying down back in the trunk. Nice little cars, and quite a visual improvement over the toilet seat Valiants. Nice to see a survivor in great shape.

    Quite a nice find! In NYC, it must be rare by now. I mean, just the size and near-horizontal orientation of the rear window teases street urchins into throwing hard items at it.

    @that ain't the way to have fun, son: If one did score a direct hit and broke it, good luck finding a replacement. You'd almost have to settle for building a Barracamino. Which would be pretty bitchin', actually. The slant six would sound nice through vertical stacks.

    The 1965-66 Barracuda had a swept-back C-pillar and a huge rear window somewhat similar to the the Avanti, but I think the latter had much nicer proportions. Of course, the Barracuda had the more practical cargo-area configuration.

    @DrLemming: That huge rear window on the Barracuda made the car nearly unbearable in sunny summertime Florida. Back seat passengers in particular were slowly broiled, and even if the owner was lucky enough to have A/C, it was pretty much overwhelmed by the heat soak.

    @tonyola: Perhaps heat soak was one reason why the 1967-69 Barracuda had a much smaller rear window.

    My mind knows that the paintwork on the hood is ridiculous and tacky, but my heart will have none of it.

    I've always liked these, anyway. And being a '66, we know it's the quite-reasonable 225.

    Great car and song, sorry but every time I see one my mind goes straight to Heart.

    P.S. I know the song has nothing to do with the car but does it really matter.

    *sigh* It's like a breath of fresh air. 66 really was the best year for the early Barracudas, and this car is built up more or less what I would do to one, given the opportunity. Those dual Offy intakes are too cool. Makes my six's single quad Offy look like a cop-out intake. :P

    @armyofchuckness: Cop intake? Coming right up. :)

    1966 is my favorite Barracuda, and I have nothing but respect for anybody who hops up a slant rather than doing a V8 swap. Just needs metallic green paint, rallye wheels, and a pushbutton Torqueflite.

    Very nice car. I love the idea of a hot rodded slant six. You can get all kinds of neat goodies for these from Clifford Research. I can't tell if this car has headers or not, but you can get those as well.

    Yeah, I always liked these Barracudas. Another car I like from the same era is the Rambler Marlin, which has the huge back glass as well.
