1969 Barracuda Project

They dont ride like the new cars do, however if your car has the big block torsion bars still in it, and a small block in it, you are miles ahead. I am looking for a set of big block A body bars. I have a set of 340 bars now. Small blocks weigh about 200 lbs less.

Unless your foing for that full original type restoration, I'd skip the little factory weenie tootsie roll diameter swaybars. Go with a 1&1/4 incher on the front, and at minimum a 3/4 incher on the back, all polyurethane bushings all around, and good kyb or bilstein shocks. Widest rim i think you can get on the front is a 7" , and on the back with a stock wheelwell is an 8", and go with the widest aggressive rubber that you can safely put on those wider rims.

If your car doesnt have front disc brakes, I'd recommend upgrading to a BBP setup. (Big bolt pattern) your cuda and all a bodys used a 5 bolt 4" circle up thru 1972. B body and up used a 5 bolt 4&1/2" circle known as a bbp. A set of upper control arms from a 73 up A body gives you a larger ball joint, you also need the 73 up disc brakes. Everything from the spindle out.

The main reason for the bbp swap, is theres more variety of wheels for the bbp, which is incidentally the same as the new ford mustang. So if you like the mustang bullitt wheels they fit. Incidentally, i looked at your original pix and saw you had rallyes on it, with what looks like 73 up centercaps. The car may have been upgraded to bbp already saving you some trouble. A good indicator would be single piston brake calipers. Those started in 1973.
