I'm going to look at a......

Years ago when I first got the idea of building a Barracuda I went hunting for over a YEAR before I found my car. Granted I WANTED a project to "keep me busy...." back then, so my goal was a solid, rust-free shell and everything else didn't matter. I would answer ads and go have a laugh. I went to look at a `67 383 Fastback " that needed resoration". I looked through the drivers window, through the seat, THROUGH the floor, and INTO the frame rail & torsion bar! Thing was worth *maybe* $500 for the exhaust manifolds and K frame. Guy wanted $2,500. Did I mention he had about 8 Chevy's in the driveway? He claimed he could " part it out and make $10,000". I wished him luck and left laughing my tail off! Then there was the "rust-free, easy resto" that had rust from the wiper motor to the taillights. Then there was....


I wound up buying a `62 Dodge Dart ( yeah, the BIG UGLY B-Body sized one....) that needed floors, but was rock solid otherwise. 2 months later I saw the ad for my car and figured "what the hell.... THIS is what I wanted" and went to look at it. I found a retired Florida drag car that was very complete, rust-free, and solid. The Dart was sold and I'm been fixing the damn Barracuda ever since.

Moral of the story? I need my morning coffee..... And hang in there Kev, one will find YOU !
