I put this graphic together after a recent visit to Wisconsin to see 3 Savage survivors. The backdrop is one of the original shop locations where the cars were built in West Bend, Wisconsin.

Those Barracuda's are pure late 60's/early 70's awesomeness. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, this is my Savage I've owned since 2006. I have tracked down the original owner who bought it late spring of 1969, then moved to South Dakota in 1972 and traded it in to a musclecar dealer there. It was repainted silver and sold. It was turned into a drag car in the 70's. Some of the original fiberglass parts went missing and I have been looking for the original parts to return to the car. I purchased another Savage that is pretty rough but has all the fiberglass parts I need so am in the process of restoring the parts and putting back on my car. I will leave my car in it's drag configuration. Here's the original ad I found when the dealer had it for sale in 1972.
