YOUNG GUNS! Sign In and WIN
I am 18 years young (of course lol). I have a 65 Barracuda and it is a blessing. It is my anti-bad stuff, I have had it for a little less than a year and it is a work in progress. It needs everything from paint to headliner and a back seat. I am right now rebuilding the 340 in it. New everything but crank, block, and heads. Everything has been either machine or replaced though.
The fender tag code might be helpful.

Translates to a triple color blue 1965 Barracuda with a 273 power washer.
It no longer has the 273 or the washers. I got it with a 340 bored .030, Fireball 300 cam, Badger Brand pistons, and some other stuff. As of now I swapping everything but the Cylinder Heads (360 J heads 2.02 in 1.68 out), the cast steel crank, and the block but now the block has been bored .040 over.
I am putting 2k under the hood and it still needs body work. I got a buddy helping me with the rebuild of the motor and is spotting me the money. I am paying him back.
lack of back seats
Painted myself
Custom Mod by myself
Its coming along but help would be great. I don't have a father to help me out and my mom only bought the car and will get me stuff for my birthday other than that its all me.
Its a fun hobby.
MOPAR TO YA!!!!
Oh yeah did I mention that my car is now a nuisance to the great city of Arlington, TX. Mission accomplished. Woohoo!!!
