    Exactly what makes a MOPAR a "Matching Numbers" car?

    I was watching an episode of Graveyard Carz where Mark was talking about 'matching numbers' on a 70 Barracuda. The engine and transmission matched the VIN and stampings on the body in a few places. But then other problems popped up that eventually revealed the Cuda was two cars grafted together...

    Looking at, evaluating and pricing a project car.

    I have seen a lot of posts over the years where people ask our opinions on the value of a project car. I have a few ideas, and I would be interested in other people's comments. 1. The car's price must be in line with what it will be worth when finished. If, for example, a nice 69 Dart GT 340 4...

    Inflatable Paint Booth. WOW. Look at the low price.

    I have seen these inflatable paint booths before, but they were always a bit pricey. This one really looks good, and it is less than $800. If I did not have access to a real paint booth any time, I would buy one. It is complete with ventilation and a double entry door. Just think, You could buy...

    Great music in my Barracuda for only $70.

    I went to a stereo shop here to ask what I could do for some decent music without altering the dash. I would mount an AM FM CD player under the dash, but the AC vents from the Classic Auto Air did not leave room. The guy told me that for about $600 he could install a unit that could read music...

LOTS of food all day including home made cinnamon rolls and breakfast burritos, home made ice cream and burgers and dogs and BBQ for lunch. Anyway, I paid $20 to enter...

    DO NOT SEND PAYPAL AS GIFT OR FRIENDS OR FAMILY UNLESS....

    I just read another posting where the OP said he bought something using PayPal and sent the money as either a GIFT or FREINDS or FAMILY. And, of course, the product was NOT sent. The OP is screwed. PLEASE READ THIS! Unless you know and trust the person you are buying from, do NOT use GIFT or...

    Part out or sell a nice car???

    I have a theoretical question. First, let me say that I have NO intention of selling my car. I was just wondering about this. Let's say I wanted to sell my car and wanted to get the absolute maximum amount of money, and wasn't in a big hurry to get the money. Part of me would hate to see a nice...

    Fender Tag Codes???

    OK, this is not the typical How do I decode my fender tag question. I have owned this 69 Barracuda Fastback for about 25 years. It was a little rough when I bought it, but it was intact with no major accident damage. The VIN matches the Fender tag and the VIN is attached with the correct lookin...

    Unseasonably mild weather + Full tank of gas = ONE GREAT CRUISE

    So it was 76 degrees in Topeka today. I pulled the cover off the Barracuda, hit it with some Griot's Speed shine, filled her up and took a nice long cruise. I even talked the wife into going. What a great day.

    Will 69 Barracuda FB Door window fit a convertible?

    I have a driver's door window from a 69 Barracuda FB listed, and a guy asked me if it would fit a convertible. I would guess yes, but I know there are a bunch of you that know for sure. Thanks in advance for your answers.

    First Real Drive in 3 Years. YAY!

    After three years of work, I finally took my first real drive today. It has been painted for several months, but life got in the way, and it took a while to finalize mechanicals to be able to drive. I've had it for about 25 years. I restored it myself after I bought it, and it looked real good...

    No Titles Required in Alabama?

    I have a comment about a 1965 Barracuda for sale in the "For Sale" section. Since General comments are not allowed in that section, I will bring this here. The car was listed "No Title, bill of sale only, Titles are not required in the sellers state. One person said, "Wish it had a title. We...

    1970 360 Challenger??

    I was at a car show today and I saw a 1970 Challenger that had "360 Four Barrel" emblems on the hood. I thought that was strange. Did Dodge put 360s in Challengers in 1970? Unfortunately, I did not think to look at the grill or tail lights to confirm it was a 70, but that is what the car show...

    Reclining bucket seat conversion for stock 69 seats?

    This may sound strange, but does anybody know of a company that can take my 69 Barracuda bucket seats and modify them to have reclining capability. I am getting ready to retire, and I was thinking it would be more comfortable to drive the Barracuda long distances if I could adjust the angle of...
