1968 Barracuda Notch - Plano, TX

No progress on the car in the past few months. A bunch of issues that have nothing to do with the car. Hopefully by the end of the year I can get back to working on the car.

I did get a new truck last month. Ram 1500 Crew Cab with the 3.0L turbo diesel and 3.92 axle. Tow rating with this combo is 7,840 lbs and a 1,540 lb payload. Typical car trailer, like U-Haul, is about 2,200 lbs. If you assume the car and a few extras is less than 4,000 lbs then I should have no issue. It is a whole lot nicer taking a car to a track event on a trailer than relying on the car to carry tools, spares, and such and be able to make it home.

With the 3.0L "Eco-diesel" and HD 8 speed automatic I am getting right at 20mpg driving around town. Highway mileage is supposed to be 28. I have not taken it on any trips yet.
