Subject: PESO: A Million Dollar Maybe
I shot this car at a show in Ohio. I was camped out at a nearby airport,
and the magazine editor sent the cars to me that he wanted shot. This one
arrived in a trailer, and I had to shoot it under heavy clouds with
intermittent drizzle. We had just wiped some raindrops off of it here. The
car is a 1971 Barracuda with a 426 cid hemi and four speed. It's 100%
numbers matching, fully documented from the day it was born and a 99 point
+ rotisserie restoration. While these cars were fun, they were cheaply
made and twisted like a pretzel under acceleration. But there nostalgia
pieces. The last one this nice to be sold at auction went for more than a
million dollars. This car should bring close to that if sold, although I
think the present owner intends to keep it. The original owner sold it
several years after he had purchased it for $1500.
