Well I had to go and get another project going to pay tribute to a close relative who passed. Its a 1967 barracuda fastback. Came from the factory white with red and white interior, 273 2 barrel, 904 automatic, bench seat, column shift, non air, and 7 1/4 rearend. It was someones parts car so it will be alot of hunting and gathering to find parts. I will post pics of it as I bought it in the next posting. I will be restoring it pretty much but Im going to be installing a 383 and 727 and as far as the rear end goes I have a pro street set up or a 1966 b body 8 3/4 set up for it. On a tight budget but need to finish it by Mid summer to at least driveable state. Enjoy the ride!

Subscribed. Pretty soon my son will be starting a '68 thread.
Beautiful. That will be damn nice.
Thanks! Back in 1983 I bought a 1969 Barracuda. Formula S, 383, 727 and 3:91 gears. It was dark green with the black stripe with 383 on the fenders. And tan interior. Miss that car. Was my first one. Cant wait to see your thread too gdrill.

Been reading your thread. AWESOME JOB! Wish I was that far.
Wow that thing is rough! I feel better about mine now. I would advise you to look for a better car to start with. You might have been better off to order full quarter panels rather then skins. I will watch with interest as you build your FB. I am building one also with rust and accident damage. Mine doesn't look quite as rough as the one you have but still a lot of work. There is a few guys here that are doing their FB that are amazing. There are some very talented people here that got a fire under my *** to work on mine. I will be watching yours as well. Good luck with the build!

I'm here to help any way I can. If I have parts you may need I'll let you have any for a song
and a dance. A fellow FABO member here helped me out and I intend to pass along his kindness whenever I can. Good luck too you!
Nice, looks like you got your work cut out for ya, but Ive seen a helluva lot worse brought back to life.
Thanks man! The members on here are the best in the world I would agree. I would take a couple of front fenders please. LOL!:thumblef:
I wish I would have taken pics of all the cars I have rescued from the crusher and put back on the road. Trust me I have seen worse here and on my own thru the shop.
LOL, that's taking him up on the offer! But yes the members here are great. I agree the car is rough but definitely not the furthest I've seen them recovered from! Some of the projects here are truly amazing. This will be another one of those inspiring threads. Good luck, we're watching! :coffee2:

I heard those 67 Bench seats are pretty rare.... Lots of work but good to see one saved :glasses7:
I spotted a 68 fastback yesterday in Clearwater MN, there is a place near the interstate that sells cars, some are old and guy has some Mopars, looked barn fresh and pretty solid and complete, right down to the wheel covers and whitewalls.

I wished I had some for you. I barely was able to save mine.
I had a lead on two 67 Barracudas in my neck of the woods and made the guy an offer on them, then he had them crushed!!!!!
I cried and then had thoughts of making him disapear.
I do have a front bench seat, Old heater box that needs rebuilt and a few other odds and ends.

I hope you get your parts from Tamraz! They are hit or miss these days.
Already had a run in with them the first day. On there ebay store they had a 5% off offer but when I clicked the buy it now it was gone. Then the free shipping was to a terminal not residential. Couldnt find that info but they said it was in the posting. But they did make it right and gave me the free residential shipping on all three items. Still no tracking number but I dont know if I will get one.
I have seen a ton of these cars crushed lately. Too sad! Even French Lake isnt saving much of these cars anymore. Im going to clearwater soon I will have to check that car out too.
I cant even find any dented or rusty fenfders to repair around here. If anyone has something laying around that they wont be fixing let me see them.
Send that guy to minnesota. We farm boys know how to deal with his kind. LOL!:violent1:

You should get the tracking # when they ship. I use to order a lot of stuff with tamraz. But now I stay away.The last order I did with them I had to dispute and cancel.I am not telling you this to scare you or be a jerk I just don't want to see another guy waiting for parts and getting taken advantage of. Also You can buy the quarter skins from rockauto.com for about $375.00 shipped.That is where I ordered mine. had them in three days. the rear lower valance is an eBay Item. I ordered mine last week and already have it.I use ADEELS on eBay its a little more but you will get your parts.Only trying to help.Thanks,Joe
