Finally getting an early A-Body
I have been wanting to trade one of my bowties for an early A-body for about a year now and have finally hit paydirt (I hope). I found an ol' boy in Mississippi, with a serious bowtie addiction, that wants to trade a 66 barracuda commando 273 4 speed POSI car. All original, the guy got the car in a trade and started to restore it but his bowtie fever (my gain) took him away from it with the body work done, the engine rebuilt and in but not hooked up and a ton of goodies like 2 rally dashes and a ton of other stuff. I have died and gone to heaven, I was leaning toward a 65 (my high school car in 72, I paid 1300 for)but a 66 will do. I will be holding my breath, we are going after it friday. I will relax when the title is in my name and it's on my trailor coming home. Here are a couple pics,
