    Wheels for the back of an A Body barracuda....?

    I'm running a 15x8 with 4.5" BS (275/60-15) on the back of my 68 Barracuda with no problem (Stock suspension)...all things being equal, you should be fine.

    Backspace for front wheels... Only 4 inches..

    For what it's worth, I'm running 15x6 up front with 3.75" backspace and no issues. If you don't mind me asking, what size front tire are you planning on running. You can check and compare your combination here: Rim & Tire Size Calculator. Custom Offsets

    Wheels for the back of an A Body barracuda....?

    Here's my combo...you might find as I did that 15x4 front rims are, in my opinion, a bit too skinny and limits your tire choices. I found 15x6's perfect and the 215's fill out the wheel well nicely...but ultimately it's up to you and your taste. Post your wheel and tire combos.

    1973 slant six sbp or bbp?

    Since it was a /6 car, I'm guessing the fronts were originally drums and a 5x4 bolt pattern that was at some point converted to a K H dual piston caliper. According to the literature, the 1973 318 cars and above came standard with the new single piston disc brakes and 5x4.5 bolt pattern.

    Front A body suspension help please

    Ride quality is really a personal preference. My suggestion is to start with the front sway bar and stop when you reach a point where you're happy. You will also want to install a rear sway bar to balance the front. if you don't, the rear end will want to step out on you during hard cornering...

    Is this Duster overpriced?

    I highly doubt it's numbers matching. If it was, then I can guarantee you that the seller would make that very clear. Just like the Green Duster above, It clearly says it's an H-Code car...but nowhere does it say that it has the original engine. If it did, I'm sure he would also make that very...

    what's this a body worth

    I laugh at the people who tell people it's going to cost 7.2 million dollars to restore a car when all they have done is write checks to someone and get ripped off by supposed restoration shops. especially when they are simply looking at a picture , have no clue on the actual condition of a car...

    what's this a body worth

    Throw out a price and I'm sure he'll counter...eventually you'll find a middle ground that you both may be comfortable with. If you're both worlds apart and he has unreasonable expectations then throw out your final offer and a phone number and walk away...

    Are you going to do a lot of the work yourself? Or source it out? P.S. Do you know what his asking price is?

    what's this a body worth

    When everything is said and done, you'll have at least 50k into that car for a total resto...so for the amount of work and investment needed, I wouldn't pay over $3500...and that's probably being generous.

    27" tall front tire on a 67 Barracuda?

    I just mounted 215/65-15's on 15x6 in rims on my 68 Barracuda. The backspace is 3.75 and the diameter of the tire is 26". As you can see in the pic, I have about 1" to the front and rear outer fender edge and no interference under any circumstance. I'm guessing that a 27" tire would in some...
