Looking at a 72 barracuda

That's awesome! I hope everything is as good as it looks!

I like all Mopars, I've owned 22 of them including a '73 340 Duster, '71 Demon, '74 Valiant, '69 Charger, '69 Chrysler 300, three Furies, my current '69 Barracuda, a bunch of daily drivers, trucks, and a van...but never an e-body...seemed like they were always too pricey...except for the '71 Challenger 340 4-spd car that my Dad wouldn't let me buy when I was 16 for $1500. DOH!

But... there's a woman at a place I deliver to every day who's husband has had a '70 'Cuda out in the back yard for as long as they've been married, at least 8 years...I'm working on it...

Sounds like your wife is understanding about it, that's 1/2 the battle. You'll be making more than "vroom-vroom" noises in no time!

Good job, keep us posted!
