here's a sentence I've never heard before, but it's real "daughter searched for mom's 71 Barracuda for 12 years, found it while her mom could appreciate it, then took two years to restore it, and now goes to car shows with it!"

One of her brothers got the 71 383 'Cuda from her mom, and sold it without telling anyone in the family, and a decade later, it was on craigslist ready to get the restoration complete. 

the Arizona sun cooks cars and destroys plastic

She got to use her mom's 'Cuda for Prom and high school graduation! 

Her mom was still alive when she got the car, but passed away before the restoration was complete

Her mom had bought the car at age 38, to stick it to her ex husband right after the divorce.
