Patience can pay off. The new owner of this Challenger T/A waited 14 years for the car’s second owner (who bought it in 1973) to finally sell it. As they only made 2,400 of these cars, that’s one heck of a find. Find the story at Car in Barns. More pics after the jump!

There Outt’a be a Law
Milburn Varner’s Race Car Collection
Check out Hot Rod for the story of Milburn Varner and his collection of Mopar cars that have sat untouched since he retired from the drag strip in the early seventies. He yanked the Hemi from a 1967 Belvedere GTX convertible to transplant to his race ‘Cuda! He still has both. He refuses to sell or restore, “I ain’t sellin’ this stuff–it’s all about braggin’ rights, and the money don’t mean as much as these old cars and all of the good memories they gave me.” That’s fine in my book but still, a bit of soap and water would do wonders.

1970 Plymouth Barracuda to be Saved
This 1970 Barracuda was recently purchased by owner number two after sitting neglected for 15 years. The new owner is taking a rather unique approach to it’s restoration. “I’m taking donations for the restoration, every donor can have a ride when it’s done!” Good luck with that.

Plymouth Barracuda’s 50th Birthday
It’s been 50 years since Plymouth rolled out the world’s first pony car, even before the term pony car was coined. It came into the world quietly, grew to intimidate the competition with big blocks, hemispherical combustion chambers and SCCA racing, then bowed out quietly just as the fuel crisis hit. Read a great recap of the Barracuda at Hemmings.
