    1968 Barracuda coupe

    Well guys, it's official.. I DON'T have to sell my car!!! I was selling my beloved cuda in order to save my house from foreclosure. After doing my taxes early, I'm getting back a lot more than I thought, thus, saving my home without having to sell my car. I'm sure most of you have gone...

    1968 Barracuda coupe

    I'm sorry. $5000 just isn't enough for my car. It's worth more than that and I'd be a fool to just give it away for that. I bought it for 8k. And I've put in another grand into it. That doesn't mean that I'm asking for 9k, but a reasonable offer.

    1968 Barracuda coupe

    I have 14" wheels on front and back. The tires are BF Goodrich T/A Radials. 215/60 in the front and 245/60s in back. And they are mounted on Cragar S/S mags. The springs are stock leaf springs with air shocks. The front clip is 1968. The pic is a bit deceiving. The grille inserts are also...

    1968 Barracuda coupe

    The shifter is a hurst pistol grip and I love it. It has a pretty short throw between gears and I love it. As you can see from the pics, I have a bench seat in front. So When I'm in 2nd and 4th, the shifter is only an inch from the seat. But I'm 5'11'' and have no problem reaching the pedals.

    1968 Barracuda coupe

    Here's some more info that I forgot to post. The rear end is an 8 1/4 sure grip with 3:23 gears. Pretty tall I know. But a heck of a top speed!! When I was running on the track, it only ran between 15.5 and 16.5 depending on how I was off the line. I wasn't very good at racing. It was...

    Hard water marks on windows

    So, you take an early Saturday morning just as the sun comes up or an evening just as the sun drops below the horizon to wash your special Mopar. You take care not to let the soap dry on any part and you carefully dry it off so you don't leave any water marks. But when you take it out for a...

    Pitman Arm question????

    I'm having the same problem on my 68 Cuda. I had everything in, but when I went to install my old pitman arm, the splines were to big.(dia) So I ordered an arm for a manual steering setup and the bolt on the end that fits to the center link was upside down. What did you end up doing to fix yours?

    Best hooking street tires?

    lol...Your rearend won't be adequate either if you don't change it with that big stroker.

    To stroke or not to stroke......

    Hmmm....Big choice to make. I'm thinking of swapping my 318 for a 360 in my 68 barracuda. Well, I've been kicking around the internet and I haven't found the answer to my questions. I want a STRONG street/strip engine. I use my Cuda only in the summer months as a dd. (garage in winter)...

    Hmmm....3.55s or ???

    My 68 Cuda has a 318 .030 over, with a 4-speed, 3.23 gears and suregrip. At the track I'm averaging about 15.85 1/4 mile. 60 feet times are 2.35. Any idea what gears I could put in to get my times down to high 14s? I know this is a silly question, but I wanted some input from you all.

    Are your drag strips becoming rice tracks

    Those are some sweet cars. But it looks like every picture is reversed. The drivers are all sitting on the passanger side. HEHE

    timing marks

    I have a 318 with a timing problem. I have a nice solid timing mark on the dampner(I think that's what it's called), But I don't have the shark tooth timing marks that I believe attaches the the waterpump. Any ideas where I can pick one up?

    Highway gears is one thing, but this???

    Yep, my math was all fouled up. That's what I get for using rubbing compound all day. Must have been the fumes. lol

    Highway gears is one thing, but this???

    I have an 8 1/4 rearend under my 68 barracuda. I did the old "jack it up and turn the tire" to get my gear ratio. This is how I did it: Jacked up both rear tires. (I have suregrip) Chalked my tire and the floor. Made 2 full turns of my tire. Counted the 1/4 rotations of my drive shaft by...

    How to sqeeze out a little more speed?

    Thanks for all the great info. I'm sure with a little "tweaking", I'll be able to get into the high 14s. I think I'll find a pair of 15" wheels and slicks then see about getting differant gears and carb. Speaking of gears, since I have a "suregrip" rearend, will I have to jack up the...

    How to sqeeze out a little more speed?

    How to sqeeze out a little more speed?

    Last summer I picked up a 68 barracuda. The owner knew very little about the engine build. Soo....I back tracked to the owner before him. And he didn't know much either. But betwen the two of them this is what I found out. (not to mention crawling around my car and doing a little research)...

    is there such a thing as a 8 1/4?

    I've got a 68 Barracuda which has been through a bunch of owners. I've tracked down 3 of them and haven't gotten many answers from them so here I go. I crawled under my rear end And coppied down these numbers. 3723599 46671 KD 43 Can anyone help me identify this rear end. The car has a...

    line locks......

    I've got a 68 Barracuda with a 4-speed and I'm just getting into bracket racing. 64Dartwagon mentioned that he bought his line lock without any switches or lights. My silly question is, how did you control the brakes without at least a switch?

    Parking brake cable retainers & grommets?

    Funny thing about my car. It looks as though the parking brake is only setup to go to the left rear brake. Is it the same with your 68? Also, where did you buy your cable and how did you route it? Seems as though my cable has been cut around the firewall area. From the handle to the...
