6.1 Hemi in a ‘69 Barracuda

Car looks very true for 69, all the parts look legit and someone has not did the plug and play deal to it and mixed 67/68 parts on it.

Lots of folks miss the dash detail as 69 was blacked out in the center of the speedo and gauge pods and not plastic chromed.

Enjoy your venture and look forward to seeing the progress!

As far as I know it’s very original. The ex’s grandfather that owned it bought it off the dealership showroom floor brand new. So this is the first time it’s been outside the family. He didn’t seem like the modding type of guy. More of a “keep it like it is and fix it” type of guy. So I suspect he tried to keep everything as is. He had the seats recovered some time ago so I don’t know if those were redone to factory pattern or not. I’m surprised things weren’t changed when the grandson got it. Usually that’s when the stock items go bye bye when we’re young and ambitous to modify everything. But it doesn’t appear he did which is good. At least I know what I’m working with at least.
