6.1 Hemi in a ‘69 Barracuda

Got to keep that Red Baron Snoopy sticker! This is going to be an awesome build. Keep posting updates.

What’s funny is that this car belonged to my ex girlfriend’s grandfather. I saw the car back in 2001 in Chanute, KS in his garage while my ex and I were dating. He died about a year or two later. My ex’s brother eventually obtained the car and used it as a daily driver through college and such where it obtained more body damage (down in Texas). Sometime last year the car quit running and he started realizing he wasn’t going to be able to get it going like he wanted it due to time and $$$. I had been helping him here and there over the years with electrical help and such. The car actually has the electronic distributor that I sold him from my Dart several years ago.

But back to the Snoopy sticker. That was placed there by my ex when she was a little girl and has been there ever since. My ex’s mom wanted to have it removed from the car as a keepsake but my ex told me that the snoopy sticker had to stay on the car PERIOD! It’s funny that sticker is very sentimental to that family. I personally like the sticker myself. Kind of like a little nostalgic piece of the car’s history. So I plan on letting it stay there through the build. It’s been there since the 80’s so it’s not like I’d be able to remove it without completely destroying the thing anyway.
