Happy to hear it's getting rescued from pro street. That style never did impress me, but then I am an old fuddy-duddy stuck in Day 2... My user name on other forums is Lost in the 60's..

I was young and impressionable during the pro-street era... really loved those cars at the time, but my tastes have changed and I'm right there with you on the Day 2 style now!

He was a major Mopar jockey at that time.
I went to High School with Fred's kids. When I was 16 (1998) we were the only ones driving cool old cars to school, so I'd park my Chevelle or my Dad's 68 Camaro next to the '71 Barracuda convertible that they were driving. That car was B5 (or maybe the darker B7 blue?) and it had a white top and white interior. I believe they sold it to the studio for the Nash Bridges TV show.

Fred actually bought my 70 Hemi Challenger and 69 Boss 429 at different times. He evidently knew some wealthy collectors as he upped the ante on those until it made no sense to keep them.
