YOUNG GUNS! Sign In and WIN
my name is ronny and im 21, i have many mopars i built my self and few handed down to me. my favorite is my 1968 barracuda formula s 340
My dad told me about a cuda he saw way back in the 80s on this single lane dirt back road in the early 80's, he never saw it again. fast forward until 2006.
I'm sitting at a girl friends house when her little step brother comes in and saws grandpa is having a yard sale and he pushed a old car out and says if it dont sell Im gonna junk it. i rush up there to find a beat up 68 barracuda formula s full of house hold garbage and not thinking much of it. it had an 8 3/4 rear that i wanted for my duster. i paid 200 dollars for the car how it sits. i get the car home and the frame is still shinny green and spotless, its caged, aluminum sheet metal floor, 2x3 sub frame connected, mini tubbed and car dented but zero rust.
i take the garbage out of the car to find
5- fluidampr race balancers
1- fuel cell
2- radiators
n.o.s. header panel and lower valance
full n.o.s. 68 grill looking brand new
8 340 aluminum rods
big block k frame
and other parts.
car has 4 piston disk brakes, 8/3/4 rear factory tach, power steering and brakes.
looked at speedo with 3701 miles. (no way right) went and talked to the old man and he tore it apart in 1970 to make a race car and never finished it.
car was gutted and missing alot of parts, i had a friend with a perfect running 340 4 speed formula s 68 cuda that had a really rotted frame, car was all original. i bought that car for 1700 and used all the parts to put mine back together.
so i started work, i blocked the body and painted it my self ( takes 2 seconds to type that but took 6 months of hard work) i wanted it black and purple.
rebuilt
68 340 with some good pistons, cam, did the heads. headers 2 1/2 exhaust with glass packs. holley blue fuel pump, 3/8 pick up with line. nitrous kit on it, line locks, rev limiter.
went through the 4 speed and rear. new clutch, driveshaft loop
got every factory gauge to work.
rebuilt the 4 piston calibers.
put gtx seats inside, made sheet metal door panels.
ordered centerline wheels
tractions bars
made my own window louver
and lots and lots more stuff.
i also own, 3 amxs, 71 roadrunner, 72 cuda, 73 cuda, 71 duster, vega v8. (i built 2 amxs my self, and most of the duster) others were handed down to me to take care of now. im not spoiled so dont say that. i work really hard, i do everything my self paint engines interior. and use lot of swap meet parts. theres story behind all the cars. every car was bought for under a 1000 except the amxs.
here are my a bodies
