    Buy New or Buy a Parts Car

    I came across a 72 Dart 2-dr slant 6 auto parts car I can get for around a grand. It's complete, motor, trans, and it runs. Im thinking of converting my 69 Cuda to street duty, so I'll need the heater box, ducting, some wiring, ect. I might use some interior pieces too, if anything fits...

    May Sell at Mopar Nats

    I'm decideing whether or not to take my 69 notchback to the Mopar Nats and sell it. I just have too much going on, and it's gonna be another 5-10 years before I get to it. I don't think this car deserves to sit that long. It's already sat since the late 80's, that I know of. Decisions...

    Why Low Numbers in 1969?

    I was looking at the articles and read that in '69 there were only 7569 Barracuda V8 hardtops built, and 11,000 fastbacks. Other years had significantly higher numbers. What happened in '69? Was it the major design change? I'm just curious, as I own a '69 hardtop (High Class) V8.

    Found a 383

    I found a complete 383/727 combo, running, in a '69 New Yorker. It's a 2bbl motor. He's asking $900 for the whole car. Is it worth buying for the drivetrain?

    Aarrggh!! Money Woes!!

    Looks like the 'cuda gets put on the back burner again. The house needs some repairs, the garage needs a new roof and I need to add on to my barn. I'm beginning to think that car is gonna sit another 20 years before I can get to it. It may end up being my retirement project!!

    Horsepower TV Barracuda Notch

    Remember the green Barracuda notchback they had on Horsepower TV years ago? I was thinking about that episode. Whatever happened to that car? Did they ever get that car done?

    I'm Frustrated!!!!!!!!!

    I bought a '73 Dart for some parts to use on my '69 Barracuda. Well, I found out NOTHING fits!!! The trans mount is different, the trans tunnel is shaped differently, even the crossmember is slightly different. I'm so frustrated I'm about ready to walk away from this car and go buy me a...

    The End Is Near......

    My quest for finding parts may finally be over. I have a '74 Dart being delivered next weekend. I'll cut out the trans tunnel I need and finally be able to move forward with my 'cuda!! :blob: And what of the Dart? I might post what is good on it and see if anyone alse could use them.

    AArrrggh! Why Now?!

    Why is it the deals always come my way when I don't have the funds? I was texted by a guy that has a 74 Duster, roller, nice body, from N. Carolina for $1500. I told him to visit this site, if he isn't already a member. :banghead:

    More Delays

    Well, looks like the 'cuda sits a while longer. I'm working 3 part time jobs but the bills are not all getting paid. So, the car stays on the jack stands. I wanted to at least get the trans tunnel repaired and sand the body down, but that might not even happen. Right now, it's just too much...

    On the Hunt For Parts

    I want to get started on my 69 'cuda. The big part is replacing the trans tunnel and brace. What years of the A-body can I use? I know 67 was the start of the 2nd gen A body. I had someone tell me I can go up to 1974 and still have the exact same floor. Is this right? So far, I haven't...

    Mopar Guys Are Great!!

    There's a guy that has a shop up the street from my house. I had heard he was a Mopar guy, so I went and talked to him. He has a decent sized stash of A-body parts and cars, mainly Darts and a few Barracudas. I told him I needed a floor brace/torsion bar brace for my 69. Last night I stopped...

    Next Year Looks Dim

    It looks like there's little chance of getting my Barracuda ready to race by Spring. I wanted to get the motor/trans in the car and get it in racing mode for next Spring. But, the more I dig into the car, the more work I find that it needs. I hate doing a full-on resto.

    69 Dash ?

    My 69 Barracuda is a 318/904 car. The dash has a 150mph speedo, temp/alt/oil/fuel, and a performance (vacuum) guage. Is this standard in a non-performance V8 car? Maybe it was swapped in at some point in its racing career. Just curious.
