  • Andy Weimann of Harwinton, CT, who owned a bright orange 1971 Plymouth Barracuda for decades, passed away earlier this week. He was laid to rest today beneath a now weathered headstone at Hillside Cemetery in Torrington, CT that's etched with the image of his classic car. He talked about the headstone and the muscle in an interview seven or eight years ago… Check out RIDE-CT's website at classiccars.ri....

      I met a widow who buried two of her late husband’s car in the ground because that was what he wanted. Lots of people were pissed because she could have sold them. She exclaimed: “they aren’t mine”

      I would’ve buried it . I’m getting buried with my 72 c10 super Cheyenne . No one else will take care and love your classic like you will . That’s why is car looks so good because he wasn’t abusing it slinging it around in intersections

      One of my brothers has a wife originally from Kentucky. We live in Michigan. Her brother passed away,the family wanted to bury him in Kentucky. I wouldn't have guessed it was legal,but instead of paying thousands of dollars to have the funeral home transport his body,they put him in the back of a truck casket and all and drove him themselves.
      So when I die,I'm gonna force my brothers to take me on a road trip out west or something. They'll be thankful for it. If not I won't be around to hear them cussing me out.😊

    Understand why he would not take this beautiful car out on rainy days. That car looks like a sunny day cruiser or evening on ocean coast drives and that. He certainly has a beautiful, nostalgic car. He and his good wife have something special. That old car probably does them both good. It's definitely nostalgic and something many new memories can be made with. Beau-ti-ful really.

      Temptations are hard to resist, especially those that are harmless fun.
      As for the etching of his house and car on his headstone, I bet his wife would’ve preferred an image of him instead. I was actually disappointed the etching didn’t at least have him sitting in the car. I just don’t get it.

    How many of you got Hearts "Barracuda " playing in your head? And that leads to interpreting it as "bare cooter"? I know, I know, it's just a dirty little thinking from when I was kid and Uncle Bud drove one of these bad machines. Bud always came right out and said honestly was trying to get women's attention with it. And as I can still remembering him revving it up and squalled the tires one good time for me. Just to show an 8 year old boy how a high functioning machine like that car had power. Love that old ride of his.

    still cant believe I even saw one of those really, always wonder what happened to it, as it was here for one summer and then it was gone and I never saw it again
