This is the restoration of what I call, Grumpy old Fish. This started as a resto project to build a non electronic ( except elect ign. & radio ) dependable car. I Looked for about 8 months before i found this Barracuda on craigslist, clean body. good interior, never been hit. and very minimal rust. and all ready had a 8 3/4 rear. Running gear was wore out and dead. It was Perfect. and he only wanted 4k I didn't even bicker. I bought it a little less than 3 years ago, and its just about road worthy. Though out this post i will explain what i took me to make this combo work - Gerst front end, 408 stroker, TTI headers, Edelbrock heads and 727 torque flight. I lost the first couple photos but this is one with removing all the old running gear.
