My dad got it at an auction (it’s his car, thank you for reminding me to add that note!), and it was already painted black. The original color, however, was Plum Crazy Purple!

Thank you; such a limited run of convertibles were produced for the 1971 model year that the production numbers rival that of a Ferrari Enzo!

Everyone is drooling over the GT-R facelift, and I’m over here like “Oh my god, it’s a Plymouth Barracuda convertible!”

It might be your dad’s car, but it doesn’t matter; as far as I’m concerned, you’ve both got good taste.
