What's under the hood of the Cuda? That's like inviting someone over for cake,but besides showing how pretty it is and how moist it is,you don't get to have a piece! Ooooo barracuda! Yenko sides wiping another racer is legendary! Rubbing is racing, or so they say,but fixing them after we get them all tuned and looking spectacular is a gut punch getting knocked out of the race! That's great the Sunbeam owner is generous enough to let her go back out into the world and not hoard it as we've seen oh too many selfishly misered past the point of no return! Kudos and thank you!!!!▪☆☆☆▪

you were only a few hours away from me. as a 30+ year auto tech I've owned hundreds of cars. bought, traded, debt collection on work, abandoned at shop. I was fortunate to be able to keep the special ones. if interested in checking out a workingman's 401k, the next time your around new Hampshire look me up. you'd be one of the few people welcome. because I work on other people's cars for a living mine are definitely the definition of barn finds even though I have owned some since high school. 68 skylark custom, 76 cherokee chief, 55 Bell air v8 tri power, 65 Chevy sportsman van, 84 e24 Alpina 3.5 with long range fuel system, and a 37 Cadillac/Lesalle Opera coupe. all sitting patiently, wating for me to work on them. love your show. one of the few I watch more than one episode of.

And thanks for mentioning the taillights. I was wondering why it had those funky ones vs the stock ones. I kinda figured it had something to do with it being a works car. I've got a 65 Alpine with a ford 302 and a toploader. Love these cars.

It’s cool you went to Putney,I went to a prep school called Greenwood in putney the first year they were opened in 1976 and I loved that experience, I lived in Birmingham Alabama and road raced motorcycles as well as having owned some cool cars such as a Datsun 240Z,Alfa Romeo’s spider boat tail,AUDI Quattro short wheelbase and in 88 looked at a Ferrari 308 GTB which was owned by a close friend who let me borrow it for about three months and I loved it but also got to drive a 64 250 SWB and a 275 GTB and a 246 Dino,there’s a few more I could go through but you get my gist,love your show,my mother’s side of our family owned a mountain house in Banner Elk North Carolina and Wow what incredible fall colors and man the winters were brutal,I was stuck there for about two weeks in the mid eighties and used cross country skis to get to the store and back,wouldn’t trade those times for anything,also I’m friends with Peter Greggs younger son Simon who used to race and may still be racing but he won a world championship in 2012,good times!

Should have shown the Motor on the Barracuda! The Sunbeam Alpine is a cool Story. It would also be cool to follow this car. For me I couldn't offer more than a couple of grand for it but I may be worth a bit more. Restoring it and then taking it around would cost a lot more than that for sure, but it would be worth doing for almost anyone that could fit the bill.

Tom you need to come to Canton Ga. there are about 5 guys locally that have probably 100 cars between them. When you get to Canton go into Orielley Auto parts. Ask for Peanut, he can direct you to almost every car guy in the area. You will ajust about any muscle car they made Dodges, Chevy's, Fords, Plymouth's, some real rare stuff between them and there really are many more. This is a hot bed for old money and old car. Ask about a guy named Benny out on hywy 140. You find a lot of restored and modified but also around here they are not called barn finds they sit all over. and if you ask to buy one most of the time you get this answer. "well it aint eatin nuthin so i'll just keep it." and they sit and sit for years
