This is my wife's Barracuda. She always wanted one, so I got her one in small pieces
Just got it off the trailer and got all parts inside, car has been in boxes for almost 40 years, so I don't expect everything to be there. I have doubles of a lot of things, previous owner bought lots of stuff from a crashed Barracuda. It has a 273 that been completely redone by a shop, 030 bore everything new, even cam, valve springs, valves, lifters, rods. Transmission is a 904, also redone by the same shop, got receipts for all new parts.
Most rust is fixed by previous owner, I will touch up some of the welds and there is only a small rust hole in one fender to fix, and maybe I'll fins some more smaller fixes. Fenders are from a Valiant (so I'm missing the fender emblems). Windshield is missing, other than that all parts is supposed to be there.
No power steering or brakes, I got a power steering box and a pump with it, not sure if it fits the car. Will probably add power brakes and use a 2 circuit brake cylinder instead of original for safety.
I never worked on an A-body before, just E-bodies. There is parts I don't know where they are supposed to go on this car. So I'm gonna have questions.
