    Please share comments about Mopar restoration shops

    I have been watching Graveyard Carz since the first show. And a long-time member here at FABO - Cuda Dad - has had Mark Worman restoring his 69 A-57 Cuda for the last NINE YEARS. It appears that GYC's now has the car finished. Nine years is a LONG time to wait for a car to be restored. There...

    What oil/oil filter are you guys running in your stock 340's?

    I took my 68 Barracuda 340 4 sp to a car show Sunday and noticed lifter tapping for about 15 minutes before some driving and engine heat-up quieted down the motor. This was the first time I had the car out since winter so it had sat for 7 months without being started. My 340 is stock and I...

    a response from YearOne on their interior items

    i don't know about you guys, but when i've looked at parts from YearOne or Classic Industries or P&G Industries, especially interior parts, i could not determine if the price they were listing was for just one of the items or for a pair - like in bucket seat seat covers. i sent an email to...

    A 68 Cuda big-block fastback for $8500 - this is the best buy yet

    if you've ever wanted a 68 fastback big-block Cuda at a VERY reasonable price that doesn't require a Hamtramic assembly line to put back together, this is your car. i seriously considered buying this car myself, but didn't because it doesn't have a fender tag. i'll be interested to see what...

    i'm currently watching Season 13, Episode 7 (new episode) of Grave Yard Carz and our FABO member's 69 A57 Cuda is being assembled. Mark and "Dougie" just put the K-member/engine assembly in the car on the hoist and boy, does this car LOOK BEAUTIFUL!! I have often "day-dreamed" about what it...

    Our fellow FABO member's 69 Cuda A57 is featured on GYC tonight 4-6-21

    the blue A57 383 4 speed "Cuda" owned by one our our FABO members is being finished up on Grave Yard Carz Season 13 Episode 4 tonight. this car has been at GYC for probably 5 years. GYC has done one or two Dusters but i believe this Cuda 383 is the first A-body Barracuda they have done. the...

    Another decent deal on a nice Barracuda Fastback at $16k Not mine

    Roaming around Facebook marketplace i came across this 69 Barracuda offered at $16,500. this car looks nice and if an in-person inspection confirmed how nice this car looks, if you could get it for $15k cash, that would be a deal. listed from West Union, Ohio

    NOT a very good sign for the value of mopar muscle cars

    Barrett-Jackson is having their annual Scottsdale Arizona collector car auction right now and i'm sitting here watching all the beautiful cars getting sold. There was just a beautiful, completely restored REAL hemi orange 69 1/2 A-12 Roadrunner 440 6 pack 4 speed that went across the block and...

    How about a nice $110k 68 Hemi 4 speed Dart for $67k obo? NOT MINE

    well, here you go all you Dart lovers out there in FABO land. this may be the best deal on a nice, ready to race and VERY original looking 68 Dart 426 Hemi 4 speed i've ever run across. if this car runs as nice as it looks, it would be quite a deal. and the seller said $67k was his "asking"...

    If you ever wanted a 340 fastback Barracuda for $14k, here's the car

    I think I'll just let this car speak for itself. I don't think I have ever seen a 68 Barracuda fastback 340 car in such nice shape with a few desirable options offered this cheap. If you ever wanted an old Cuda, this is your car. Unless this is a complete scam, this car will NOT last more...

    Another "decent" 68 Barracuda with a reasonable "asking" price

    for an asking price of $22,000, this is a pretty nice 68 340 non-S Barracuda that would make a nice "starter car" for someone who wanted something to drive to car cruises. this car has a few rust spots and needs both door trim panels and the rear panels, but other than that, it looks pretty...

    A good example of buying a 70 Duster done rather than building one

    This 1970 340 4 speed Duster just showed up on Facebook Marketplace from Knoxville, Tennessee listed for $20,000. The car looks pretty nice in the pictures and appears to be fairly original and complete. You couldn't buy a decent 340 4 speed 70 Duster or create one out of a decent slant 6 car...

    Has anyone seen this Formula S "interior" emblem?

    i was looking at Barracudas for sale on various sites and found a nice and original green 1969 340 fastback being sold by Minnesota Motors and Sports for $35,000. the car looks good but if i were going to spend $35k, it would be for a restored A57 383 4 speed. this car has an odd Formula S...

    An excellent deal on a 68 Notchback (not mine) in Ohio

    just ran across this very nice Notchback in Mingo Junction, Ohio. that is a small town in Eastern Ohio close to the Ohio River. this car is almost completely done and the guy is "asking" $16,500 for it. you absolutely could not buy a car and bring it to the level this car is at for that...

    A very good example of resto cost and value of a 69 Cuda

    I saw this car on Facebook marketplace being sold out of Mentor, Ohio and wanted to post it here on FABO because I believe it is a very good example of what these cars cost to restore and what they are worth after they are done. This 69 Cuda has exactly what most of the market is looking for in...

    For the M-Code guys, one of the yellow fastbacks is on Ebay.

    one of the sunflower yellow fastback M-Code cars is currently on ebay for sale. the car looks nice but i think the hood stripes are a cheaper quality than the Phoenix Graphics ones. the beginning bid was listed as $63k but there have been no bids on this car. it might be that this car is not...

    I added another 69 Cuda to my collection today

    I am proud to say i added another 1969 Barracuda to my collection today. I attend car cruises around the Pittsburgh, PA area in the summer and have met a lot of very nice folks - many of which now know that I have a collection of Barracudas. About a month ago, a guy that i know called me to...

    just ran across this 68 convertible Barracuda in Drexel Hill, PA listed on facebook marketplace. the seller listed it for $25,000 or "taking offers." i'm not a "vert" person but if you are this one might be worth looking into.

    i search for Barracudas for sale every day and found this on Facebook Marketplace listed in Erin, New York. it looks like a nice car and the sales price is $28,000. that would probably be a decent price for this car.

    Maybe the saddest M-Code Cuda you will ever come across

    because i have a collection of old Barracudas and one of the M-Code cars, i'm always looking at ads for these cars. whenever i come across a M-Code car being sold, i really get excited. however, below are pictures of a M car that's for sale out of Cleveland, Ohio (USA) for $9000 that may be...

    I feel like a real car guy now - i bought a Rotisserie

    i thought i'd share a purchase i made today because i think it's a pretty good deal some of you might consider. i've been wanting a "car Rotisserie" for a long time because - well, the "real" car guys have them and they are a wonderful tool that makes working on these old mopars SO much easier...

    i just received the reproduction 1969 Cuda Dash bezel i ordered from PG Classics. it was on sale and i only paid $599.00 total for it. this bezel is normally around $757.00 from PG and from Year One. this is an expensive part, but after receiving it in perfect condition and seeing how...

    PG Classics had a good discount right now on all A-body parts

    just a FYI ... i just purchased several parts off of PG Classics out of Canada and they have pretty dramatic markdowns on A-body Barracuda parts right now. the biggest item i purchased was a new 70 Dart/Barracuda dash bezel with woodgrain and flat black trim. yearone and laysons wanted...

    Continuing work on my 69 383 Formula S fastback - interior/dash

    so far, i've installed the borgeson power steering box and the mopar mini-starter and a nice OEM replacement positive battery cable. i've restored and repainted the replacement OEM power steering column and it is ready to install. it's now a nice factory looking flat black. now, i'm tearing...

    Comparing Borgeson's power steering box to the mopar OEM box

    FedX just delivered my Borgeson power steering conversion kit for my 69 383 4 speed Barracuda. although i have a lot of mopar parts, i purchased the entire kit including the power steering box, the power steering pump, the hoses and the steering shaft connector. it was expensive - $1247.00 -...

    You have to be INSANE to have long-tube headers on a big-block A-body Mopar!

    I posted a couple of weeks ago that I have started working on a forgotten car in my collection - an original 69 383 4 speed fastback Formula S Cuda. This car has been sitting in my garage piled full of parts since 2008. After I got it set up in the garage extension i built just for that car...

    Kind of like an old Vietnam story about a 67 Corvette in the barn

    have any of my fellow A body guys bought a car and then forgot about it? i did 23 years in the Marines and then 2 in the Army finishing with a combat tour in Iraq 2005-06. when i got back home. i was pretty messed up, actually, really messed up and started PTSD therapy that went on for 10...

    If you need new A body parts, buy them NOW - the Corona Virus

    if all you guys trying to restore A-bodies out there hadn't noticed, 90% of all reproduction parts are made in China! yes, there are some decent looking parts made there, but a lot of stuff is not that good and doesn't fit well. but here's something i just discovered - resto parts people are...

    Bad omen for the value of 69 M-Code Cudas

    as many of those here on FABO may know, the 69 M-Code 440 Cudas are the most valuable of all 67-69 Barracudas produced. i have a 340 68 Barracuda and a 69 383 Cuda, but always wanted a 69 440 M-Code. about a year ago, i was finally able to acquire one. i've watched the market for the M cars...
