New to Mopar!

[Matrick69]

Hello

I have recently acquired a 69 Barracuda 340 S 4spd that was purchased new by my father inlaw. It isn't it the best of shape, but I feel that it deserves some attention. I'm going to start with making the car drivable again and work on cosmetics and body later down the road. I have been a GM guy forever and will certainly be looking for some pointers along the way. Looking forward to my new adventure and thanks in advance for any help!

Welcome! Now run! Run back to GM! Your wallet will thank you..........
Seriously that is a cool car. Welcome to the dark side!

 

[Matrick69]

Should be an interesting project! Sure wish they made more parts for the darn thing. Its in desperate need of some front fenders!

Make sure you have a FAT wallet.... Members here are the greatest.. You will be able to find about every part in here. Just look at the for sale section.

Welcome to FABO and the wonderful world of Mopar!! That is certainly an awesome model to become a Moparite with.
You'll get a lot more attention with that Mopar than with any GM for sure!

Some thing special about a old Mopar ,Ford or Chevy just can,t touch them !

 

[dubree 61]

But I guess that is part of the reason why we are here

Welcome to FABO. After snagging that car, joining FABO is the 2nd smartest thing you could do. This site and the guys that contribute totally rock!

Like @4spdragtop said - pictures, pictures, pictures!

Welcome. Nice car to start with. Like the 150 speedometer, a "little" rare. Keep ur eye out, there are fenders show up on here all the time, once in a while u can even find them w/o getting raped !
Yeah, this is "the" best mopar place I`ve found, but is full of people trying to make too much off of parts. Fiberglas is another option too. There are a quite a few guys on here that know their stuff !!

 

[4spdragtop]

Nice ride Matrick! C'mon spring!

 

[Matrick69]

Going to try and get it out today while it's warm! Can't wait to get started on it.
