Just got a 66 Barracuda home
Thanks for the offer of parts. Due to work, lack of daylight and just plain too cold, I haven't really had a chance to look the old girl over as thoroughly as I'd like. Looks like the major bolt-ons are in great shape as is the floors (no carpeting so easy to inspect). Speaking of carpeting there was a complete brand new black carpet set under that big ol' back glass. Where it was folded and hidden from the sun, still nice and black. Where the sun got to it, well . . you get the picture. Also came with a brand new white headliner (don't know why white when the original is black) Looks like the driver's quarter will require some rework. Interior is toast and has 65 Valiant/Barracuda buckets in it. Would like to find a set of core 66 seats at some point in time (not a big priority right now). Definitely needs a water pump for the slant and maybe a gas tank (PO running a rubber hose thru the pass vent window to a 5 gallon can on the pass floorboard!! Once I get this stuff sorted out, we'll see where we are. I am looking for a decent driver's fender for a 65 Valiant. Got this notion to swap the front clip from my 65 Dart wagon to a 65 Barracuda front end. I have everything except the fender. Anyway if I need anything for the 66, will give a shout (and I guess keep my eye on ebag.
