1965 Barracuda 273 4 speed

Morning. I am surprised your barracuda has not sold. It is a beautiful car from what I can see in the photos. Is it now roadworthy as it sits? Any return of the rust issues you mentioned early on? Wiring issue taken care of? Can't tell for sure - but is it manual steering? Does the car drive well? thanks Dave Augusta, Ga

I have been driving the car to various functions (cruise-ins, church, college basketball games, picking my daughter up at school-the boys think she is so cool!). I have seen no issues with the areas that were rusted as they were very insignificant and were dealt with properly. The wiring is fine, I just had the wrong harness and everything was not matching. The right one is in now and all is well. It is manual steering but other than trying to turn around while not rolling, manual steering is not really an issue on the early a-bodies. It drives pretty well, however, the clutch needs to be adjusted a bit for my tastes and i haven't done that yet. I still need to put in the rear axel bearings and rear shocks. I have them, but no time as i am searching for a job and can't spare any time for it.

Hope that helps,
David
