Hello, my name is Mark. I have a really great 1968 Barracuda that I am going to give a full restoration. As much as I would enjoy the process, myself, I am not capable of handling such a task. I have found some options, but I wanted to seek the input of the many well-rounded enthusiasts, here at A Bodies. I certainly wouldn't say that cost is not an issue, but I expect this to be a lengthy and costly endeavor to get this car to where I want it to be. I really don't mind if it takes 5 years because that would allow me the time to come up with the money over time.
The car's odometer was set at 50k (speedometer does not work) and does not have the original 318, so I am looking to make an upgrade to 383 (or other thoughts?) it does have two aftermarket rear quarters (originals are probably salvageable).. Interior is nearly perfect! Love the big black bench seat Certainly has some rust, but not a rust bucket. Like anyone, I would like to have the original motor, but it is long lost. I am wanting to keep the car as original 'looking' as I can trying to accommodate a larger engine and necessary adjustments.
I live in Iowa and am fine with shipping the car. This process will start sometime within this year, so I am looking forward to reading your input on people/places that would give my car the attention it deserves. Thank You!
