    Hey, thats my Barracuda!! No, actually, my white Barracuda fastback is a 68.
    Great pictures. The wagon is looking good. You know, a couple of your pictures got me thinking. That style wagon might look pretty cool with a C-stripe similar to the C-stripes found on the 70 Super Bee. You would have to modify the stripe a bit to follow the wagon's body lines, but it might just look pretty cool. Wish I had the photo shop skills to make it happen. I think it would work nicely on this style wagon since the coke bottle shape would allow the leading edge of the upper and lower parts of the stripe to come to a point about halfway into the rear doors (or stopping a few inches short of the trailing edge of the front doors). A C stripe was also used on the 70-71 Dodge Dude pickup, so it would fit into the early 70's Dodge styling theme for the Scat Pack. Rather than have a Super Bee Decal on the C-stripe, you could just paint the stripe on with no Bee logo (since its not a Super Bee anyway), and it might just look like a factory stripe option. A white stripe would look good on green. I would have the vertical part of the C-Stripe closely follow the lines of the tail light bezel, but with an inch or so of green paint showing between the stripe and the tail light (and between the stripe and rear bumper). The bottom leg of the "C" could follow the lower body line crease, while the upper leg of the "C" would be even with the top edge of the tail light bezel and would run forward just slightly below the upper body line crease, tapering to a point midway into the rear side door, along the upper body line crease. The Vertical part of the "C" would be slightly wider than the widest points of the upper and lower legs of the "C". And the lower leg of the "C" would stop about an inch short of the rear wheel opening (at both the leading and trailing sides of the rear wheel opening) before following the lower body line crease forward into the rear doors.
