Hi to the MMA crew,

I'm finally a member after much excuses! So Yes, im the newbe

68 rhd barracuda with the orginial owner (circa1969), Mr Landseer...what a great chap he must have been !

I'm pretty lucky actually to have this opportunity to be its next caregiver.

I hope my efforts does it justice.

well I have spent the last 30 mins or so looking at this pic and now I have some questions

when was this pic taken? where? and what are those fender badges?

Very interesting car

The luggage rack has to be rare

Welcome Britfish

What a great picture ... very " dapper man about town " .... looks like our very own Johnny Morris

What`s the story ? How did the car get to Washington ? Are you an expat ?
