I posted on here back in February – just after I’d parted with some dosh for a 1973 Plymouth Barracuda – which was for sale in … Des Moines – Iowa.
The pictures looked great – but I didn’t actually go and see it – decided to take a complete punt and hope the vendor was honest !
Well - after nearly 5 months of nervous doubt and countless delays and hold ups – it’s finally here, done and dusted with the DVLA, and in my garage. The relief is palpable.
I don’t think I have ever had such exciting post... getting the V5 with the new Reg.
Got the train down to Milton Keynes last weekend to collect .. and had another uncontrollable fit of excitement when I saw it for the first time… and then heard it for the first time.
It was almost too much to bear !!
I’ve been grinning from ear to ear since.
There is one problem – the battery doesn’t want to charge .. so it needed three jump starts to get it up to Yorkshire. Plenty of knowledge on here , so I’ve got a few pointers of what to check.
Apart from that all seems well . There’s a few bits that don’t work , but it’s minor stuff.
I am - as they say – happy as a sand boy javascript:emoticon(':D')
, nice car 
, nice colour
