Hello everyone,

I'm a long time lurker who just joined tonight. I have a 1939 Chev Coupe, but I have been thinking of building a more driver-oriented car. I just put a deposit on a 1967 Barracuda today, picking it up on Thursday night or Friday. It's a one owner car with (supposedly) only 4X,*** miles on it. Very solid except rockers, right rear quarter and front floors (it's been sitting out next to the shed for a few years in North Dakota). It's partially disassembled, so I'm not sure exactly what I'm getting, but it's supposed to be "all there"???

I will be doing LOTS of research on here regarding chassis and engine. I have Air-Ride Technologies bags on my street rod (which I like very much) and like my cars slammed. Don't know what I will do with the Barracuda yet. Also, as far as engine, would like to go with a 6.1 with a 5 or 6 speed, but we'll see how the budget holds up.

Thanks!
 
Welcome to FABO from SoCal. You're going to have fun here! Great people with a wealth of information on Mopar A-bodies.
Good lookin' '39. Need more pics. Most all of us love all well-done cars.
 
Welcome. I've noticed a spike in the number of fishes being parted out lately. Nice to see another being saved.
 
A couple of people have asked for pics of the '39 chev. I am a little hesitant to post pics of a Chevy in a Mopar forum, but since you asked, here's a couple in the garage. Not the best pics, but it will give you an idea...

That 39 is nice.
The car don't know what name is on the grill.
Welcome!!!!!!!!
My buddy has a 39 chevy truck car hauler on a 68 1 ton frame that he still works hard.
Funny thing is when he changed the bodys on the truck, the 39 was way better than the 68.
