69 barracuda resto
So I was well into my repair work before it dawned on me that some might be interested in seeing pics on it. I always like pictures-It saves reading :) Unfortunately due to that, I missed taking pics of some of the work already done, but my project is slow, so still have lots to document. Money and time are scarce commodities.
My car is a 69 Barracuda notchback. Bought it as a basket case 6 years ago. The 340 was in pieces and most of the rest of the car was in the trunk or in boxes. It is not numbers matching, which I don't care about because I plan on doing a mild pro touring on it. The car overall was in fairly good shape rustwise But needed 1/4's and front aprons badly.
It is an A53 optioned car, F5 Limelight over F8 interior with a green vinyl roof which I plan on changing to black (I like green but sometimes there is such a thing as too much). C16 Buckets and console, D32 727 Torqueflite trans.
I plan to install a Reilly front suspension after I sell my firstborn(which might be tough since he is almost 40). I bought a used A518 (non-lockup) to have rebuilt and plan to swap it in. I also plan to buy a Hughes stroker rotating assembly for the 340 along with an Edelbrock pro-flo Fuel injection kit.
Below are some of the pics which have brought it to the present condition.
