Ouch that hurts....I've always giving credit where credit is do...

ATTENTION: Musclecar2000 is the guy who found and bought the WORLD FAMOUS BARRELCUDA from the NFLDer that owned it since 1973.

---

So NFLDer is the one responsible for neglecting the car that long to let it get so bad?

LOL ... Yes a guy from the province of (NFLDer) Newfoundland, Canada is the person responsible.

See, the stupid US'er that I am didn't understand the NFLDer as a nickname for that.

Well I used the term NEWFEE on here once...that's all it took
Yes...The guy owned it roughly from 1973 until 2004 when he died...That's when his widow contacted Musclecar2000
to come and buy it.

Don't worry about it Jarrod, it's just one of those Canadian things ... LOL



Newfie is another term of endearment for the folk from the island. At this time I believe about 68% of Alberta is inhabited by transplanted Newfies.

How come I knew what NFLDer represented is it the Canook blood in a Cajuin? From when we lived up there years ago in the frooooooooozen waste lands.

You guys weren't in NFLD, you were in my neighborhood...

Acadians

Cajuns

...but close enough that you must have the NFLDer recognition gene, though...

I think the Newfie who placed the 'Cuda up on barrels should be posthumously commended for his actions. Obviously, he did the best he could.
(Factoid: Fishing boats in Newfoundland are often brought ashore during the off season...and put up on barrels).
For if it were not for this act of preservation, the 'Cuda wouldn't have stood a chance at all, given the extremely corrosive environment it was in.

---

The way those cars were built, it was hard to keep them together up here in the rusty northeast seashore areas. I remember seeing 5 year old cars from the era with quarter panels rusted through, fenders with holes in them, etc. Plus, back then not many people considered saving them for the future... so this guy should be commended just for keeping it away from the crusher.

All those solid southern cars now being hauled out of junk yards to be restored would just have been a pile of rust had they been left sitting up here... so just to have kept it in one piece all those years was an accomplishment... the guy certainly doesn't deserve to have his memory crapped on because the car deteriorated.

I agree, most cars are lucky to NOT have some kind of rust around here after 3-5 years and the manufacturers didnt care then and they still dont care. If that car hadnt been on barrels it probably would have been crusher bound like alot of others.

I've been working on it, but a lot of little things that don't make for exicting PICTURE UPDATES.
I've spent the last couple of days restoring the original driveshaft because I couldn't find a cleaner one.

I will post pictures by the end of this week.

Well I'm glad I now know who was the one that really found that car, now I can sleep at night! I mean really now, are you going to keep being a jerk just because you didn't get your 15 seconds of so called fame? Give us a break! Be a man and honor your word, send the stuff to where it belongs.
