A very good example of resto cost and value of a 69 Cuda

Agreed. Just bought a decent grill for my two 68 Darts even though I wasn't looking. Iv'e pretty much have a whole front clip minus fenders in case I was ever to get hit or hit someone.
Good plan. I have every body parts plus others, covered for Fury, not so much for Barracuda, given time, after the first go round of buying parts I need "now", then I'll work on the back-up list. Sometimes you find the right deal and the back-up is now your primary part. As stated earlier in this thread, sometime it's worth buying another whole car for needed parts. Finding the right parts car in the right price range can be challenging at times. I need to update my '69 FB 340 parts list to see what I need before i really get into the second time around. I plan on going to look at storage units soon. Getting ready to move and it's time to "declutter" the house, garage, storage shed, dog house, lol, etc. Just kidding on the dog house, they think the whole house is theirs. i just wish they'd chip in some house money instead of that lame "we guarded the house today, from delivery people, squirrels, birds, rabbits and clouds and blowing leaves".
