1965 Barracuda - 4 yrs in the works
We (HS shop class) started with a 1965 Barracuda that was parked dead in a driveway for more than 20 yrs. Original 273 seized. The car was taken down to nothing, and is being rebuilt leaving the 'outside' 1965 finish. I've posted before about this car.
Build: fixed floors, tied frame rails, rebuilt dash, ........hell.....everything was redone.
Mechanicals; early 80s rebuilt 318 (summit 6901, HV pump, tensioner on timing set, etc), non lock 904, standard U-joint driveshaft, 8.75 SG with 3.91 gear, 235/60-15 rear tires, 205/70-15 fronts, mopar disk brakes, drum rear.
rewelded K frame, Schumacher mounts,..........and probably a ton of other crap. Vgate shifter,
did some fender patches and replaced the hit RR qtr. tried to duplicate the patina....will post a finished "back end" pict later.
To do: exhaust, re-install interior, install front/back glass.
some picts and a first run.
