I owned a '71 Barracuda convertible about 15 years ago. My experience was different from many posting here--it was one of the sweetest little cars I've ever had. Granted it was just a 318 automatic, not a fire-breather by any stretch of the imagination, but it rode and drove great. I was also single at the time and it was, hands-down, the best "chick magnet" car I've ever owned, including Ferraris, my Cobra, etc.
Anyhow, I bought that car completely restored for $4000. I put 10,000 miles on it in about 9 months before a little old lady ran a red light and totalled it, nearly killing me in the process. Man, to think I could have dropped a crate hemi in it and put it on Ebay...even if it brought a tenth of what this car did...
