I bought a '65 Barracuda from a preacher when I was 23.  He was the original 
owner and we talked at length several times about the car.  Interesting 
story - he purchased the car brand new in Alaska while he was stationed 
there with the military.  Probably one of the only red on red '65 Barracudas 
sold in Alaska.  He was transferred quite a bit during his tenure and the 
car was his only transportation.  That car has been to more states and 
places than I have (after all it is only 2 years older than me - :-).

He told me all about the history of the car, the place he purchased it, but 
the most interesting piece of the whole deal was his thought process in 
buying the car.  He really wanted that car, not a Rustang or Camaro, but 
that particular car, color scheme, motor and all.  Now that car is in a 
happy home with one of our members.  Each car has a story and so do we 
because of it.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
