Howdy all,
Just joined, though have been reading here a lot over the last couple weeks. Long story short, my pops is just retiring and he picked up a really nice 66 Barracuda that we are going to restore together. Awesome.
It has me thinking that I will get one too, and do a slower build over time, but ultimately we have two. We will start with the one my pops got since it is pretty clean.
My question today is regarding a second one I am looking at. I am curious how rare it might be, and if there are any red flags I should look at before taking it on. I have some experience, and am excited to learn more, but there are always those things that are non-starters.
The good:
Any insight y'all could share on:
I'm going to look at it on Saturday, so if there is specific things to check I can get pictures then. I've attached the pictures I have so far.
Thanks everyone, and I hope to chat with y'all further as these projects with my pops proceed.
Best,
-Dan

The good:
- 66 Barracuda 273 w/ 3 sp auto column shift
- Has pink slip
- Body and engine vins match
- Glass is good
- Available - bird in the hand so to speak
- There is some rust I can see from the pictures
- Some dings here and there
- Clearly not all panels are original
- Interior needs to be redone
- Engine condition is unknown
Any insight y'all could share on:
- If this is a rare one
- What should I offer for it
- If the rust is too much to clean/fix
- Big red flags to look for
