New to site - 65 Barracuda

Long story short - we were looking for a car to use for local drag events and drag week (went to our first Drag Week this past September). So more strip but street too.

Of course have a budget, but also wanted something different. We have a 70 Challenger. And am a bit partial to Mopars. ;)

We found 65 Barracuda. Great shape. Solid. Was built in mid 90s so needs some upgrading which we've started: re-wiring, Speedwire relay box, upgrade/install lights/horn/signals etc, new fuel cell, battery box, starter.

Working on new electric water pump, alternator install and new headers.

Then Next step is to run her a bit to see how engine and trans are. Seller said all good and what we've seen so far he is solid dude. So - challenge will be how to get 11.5 second car down to 10 sec.

Has 360 now. Want to keep that motor (or type SB). Blower or turbo most likely add on soon. Then go have some fun.

Have already found some great stuff here. We have some interior work/ upgrading to do as well. Look forward to hanging here !
