Cross-Country Road Trip in a '68 Barracuda
Well, the car is finally packed up and on the boat to Seattle! I'll be (hopefully) picking it up this Friday at the port. I thought I was going to have maybe 300 or 400 pounds of cargo, but no... I managed to pack 600 lbs into it! I have a 4-speed ratchet strapped in the trunk above the rear axle, a clutch, brake parts, intake manifold, toolbox, misc. spares, two bellhousings, a spare tire and jack, jack stands, fluids, and much more in the trunk, and then a Yamaha electric keyboard in the back seat. I didn't have time to organize the trunk super well, but I'm going to have to repack it so we have room for our bags and such.
I don't have a photo of everything before it went in the car, but here it is packed:
...and here is the rear suspension unpacked vs. packed:
