'68 Barracuda Notch
Ok, here's the deal. While looking for parts, this second '68 popped up on craigslist and it wasn't very far away so I had to check it out. Its an original slant six, but it has a Jasper rebuilt 318, 904, 8.25 rear end, bbp disc brakes (front). The paint is a little worse than on the red car, but the body is in much better shape. It also has several parts that I've been looking for (complete rear trim, power steering and bucket seats). It also has new bumpers and a new gas tank. There is only one small spot of rust, so since I won't be doing my own body and paint work, it should save me a decent amount of money in the long run.
I'm going to swap the drive trains and then sell the red car. I might not get back on the red car what I spent on the blue car, but the amount of money (and time) it should save me in the long run should make it worth it.
