Some have that problem on option two and some accomplish a Hi-Tech conversion in less than a month. Which brings up the fact that some have the money to do so and some don't
I guess that's why we see many cars here in less desirable condition up for sale..
Thanks........ I joined here today to try to convince myself that I was doing the right thing by swapping the engine and was hoping to hear that was the right thing to do BUT I have heard just the opposite now. Formula S said it clearly, That there are a lot of modified cars today and it may just be the right thing to do to keep it the way it is.I only wish mine was that complete and looked as good. After 2 years of working mine has not left the driveway. Thats an awesome looking ride.
Lol your a funny guy..... I also have well 10 other cars some are 426 original hemi cars and a few very rare weird ones one is a 1988 Ford Saleen Ranger pick up and they only built 24 of them, I use that truck everyday. Google it, its really weird but very cool as well .... I sold my FM3 pink duster 340 a few years ago and want another....I also have a S/C Rambler, yes. Have been called captain America. LoL. And to thinkits not value, it's truly beauty of the cars I collect....I have made up my mind, the Barracuda will remain as it is......thanks for the advise everyoneUmm, and they talked you right out of what you wanted...
Seems like you've got a corral of cars as it tis, so one being off the road for a time wouldn't really upset you as long as it was done correctly.
I'm a 70 year old and was in my 40's when I build my Signet in less than 14 days and still have and drive it today. When I first got it, it was perfectly stock and in the condition as your Barracuda only black. Almost 30 years later and still updating little things I think I need like an ashtray which works off of vacuum and sucks the butt to a metal container under the car, I personally use it for herb. Almost every night I drive to some meet and it still gets the thumb up from every car owner whatever their into.
The early A-Body as hard as it is to squeeze in to what you need is definitely one of the most radical light weights made during the 60's and my heyday. Choose carefully which to modify as this car will never reach to heights of your Goat convertible or your wife's T/A monetarily in complete stock form and any modification what so ever will never be accepted by anyone seeking a totally original vehicle, even a stereo is wrong.
That's how all vehicles are looked at. Now you can take her out, listen to an A M channel of it's radio and wish it had A/C on those hot days
You have to really be an enthusiast to appreciate the Saleen ranger. I'm certainly not fond of the appearance.
Well that settles that. Although I am not a collector, I do have quite a few daily drivers, half of which are sleepers so to speak. I am not familiar with a saleen ranger yet I do have a totally stock bodied 90 chevy pick up with a blueprinted LT1 96 corvette engine and t56 six speed along with a suspension built for canyon cruising which has scared many Porsche and BMW drivers. I love hi-speed vehicles
Good luck on your endeavors..
no its the one in Texas you found (the only one on the net) research states they say 27 total but 3 were track only leaving 24..BUT they started numbering them at #10 to 24 making 15 trucks built for the public.... The only other one that they know of was a give away truck (#10) that was given away in a raffle based out of Texas, Well mine is #10 and I bought it off Craigs list 3 years ago from the original owner that did win it in the raffle....It was the best 750.00 I ever spent.I bet that's fun!
I only found a few pics of a white ranger on google. Maybe it's yours?

I have no idea what the value is.probobly not a lot.....All Saleens in the 80's had body, interior,wheels, and suspenion changed but never the engines...It has a 2.9 6cyl standard shift with overdrive.What do those ugly buggers retail for now and what drivetrain?
