My NEW 65 Barracuda Project

This is my newly purchased 1965 Barracuda. It has some electrical problems and a few engine issues, but this is the beauty I got for an AMAZING price. I found her online sitting in a retirement community in the middle of BFE.

It has a 273 V8 Torque Flight and EVERYTHING is original. So far I've added new Cragar S/S 14x6 wheels and tires, had the original radiator re-cored and rebuilt the Carter 2brl carb.

I took her out today for a test drive today and the damn needle on the speedo broke right off. The car coughs and gargles when I put the foot down. Found out it had the wrong PCV valve and I think there may be some debris under the carb.

These are pics of when I picked her up. Yup, she was in that condition.

Please let me know what you think and any ideas you might have moving forward with my project.
