    '68 Barracuda grille questions

    Had the unfortunately experience of someone backing into the front end of my '68. Along w/ metalwork, the grilles we're bent/cracked. I'm trying to understand what pieces I actually need to replace. Sadly, they're beyond bending back into shape. It looks like there's 3 different pieces (not...

    [FOR TRADE] A body auto console plate for your 4 speed plate

    I have what I believe to be the original console to my 1968 Barracuda. The previous owner converted the car from an auto to a 5 speed (Tremec) but left off the console. I'd like to see if I can re-install the console by using a 4 speed plate vs cutting up the auto plate I have now. It's in...

    68 Barracuda console conversion - auto to manual

    I have a 68 Barracuda that the previous owner converted from auto to manual (Tremec T5with pistol grip). I was bummed that there was no console and stopped looking for one when I saw the prices. Yesterday, I got the original console from the previous owner. I said I'd like to have a...

    Recs for license plate restoration?

    Couldn't find a proper thread location so thought I'd try here first. I have a '68 Barracuda fastback and hooked up w/ the previous owner/restorer yesterday. He sold me a bunch of original parts and aftermarket stuff that he no longer had use for. (Some of those parts will definitely end up...

    Replace analog MSD 6AL with?

    I have an older MSD 6AL (6420 model) which is the analog one. It's been giving me intermittent start issues and I'm about to replace it (6AL 6425 probably). My mech (who's a Mopar guy) isn't a fan and he's pulled them off his own Superbird and 70 'Cuda 440 and returned to stock. I'm not...

    1966 Barracuda - CL from Norcal

    This is not mine but I did run into the owner/car at the Normandin Mopar Show in San Jose, CA last month. I'm not a fan of the older body style but this thing sounded like a BEAST, in a good way. My favorite part of this car was the wheels/tire combo. I couldn't figure out what wheels he was...

    Couple of questions

    1) How do we get the 10% discount? 2) I was interested in the Bilstein's for my A body but I just checked the website and the info is gone. What happened?

    New '68 Cuda Owner

    New owner here, picked it up at Mecum in Monterey last month. I've been working the wife for a while to prep her for my mid-life crisis car. She hesitantly agreed, as long as it was a driver. She didn't want a garage queen that no one could touch/drive. Worked for me because the daily driver...

    Possible MSD 6AL failure

    My 68 Cuda's using an MSD 6AL (6420, the analog one). A few weeks back, the car stalled out and would not crank over. It was a hot day but I hadn't been driving long. I had it towed to my mech and he confirmed that the spark was igniting so that wasn't an issue. By the time the car was at...

    Ran 100 octane for the first time. Wow

    In Norcal, we have a local Union 76 that has 100 at the pump. Granted it's $7.68/gallon. I only need half a tank so it wasn't 'awful' but definitely not a daily stop. My 68 'Cuda runs a 360 LA with a Holley 750 double pumper. I normally just do 91 octane so this was the first try at race...

    Alternatives to KYB?

    My 68 Cuda's running KYB4509 and KYB5511 shocks on a pretty stock set up. Up front I've got BFG 215 70R14 and in back I've got 255 60R15. I checked the old receipts from the previous owner and looks like these were bought in 2002. I can't say how much it was driven since then (I've only had...

    Suggestions for alternatives to BFG T/As

    My 68 Cuda with stock suspension is running Rallye wheels with 215 70R14 (front) and 255 60R15 (rear). Aesthetically, I like the rake. Apparently, I'm finding that these tires have probably been sitting for a while during the previous owner's build. Not a lot of grip (also noticed by my...
