Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

First off beautiful truck, watching this has made me want a 2wd black warlock now (never did like the red of the lil red express's so Warlock it is) and the barracuda is a clean car. And as far as your comment awhile ago about a project needing everything yours isn't as bad as mine cause everything on mine has to be hand built due to what I want the car to do...

Thanks prostreet. The truth of the matter is that I see more 'Lil Reds nowadays than I do Warlocks. I would have to have a black one myself. But I would opt not to have the gold stripe that divvies up the fenders. Most of the ones I've seen have it but I've seen some without. It'd look really badass to have a black Warlock towing your Dart.

The only parts that are still on my Barracuda that were on it when I bought it were the shell, doors. floors, steering column, tail lights, side glass, and half of the interior.

I replaced the front fenders, hood, front header and valance panels, rear quarters, K-frame, front and rear suspension, engine and transmission, rear end, front bumper. door panels, one rocker panel, re-upholstered the seats, the bezel around the instrument cluster, the heater core and fan, steering gear, tires and wheels, all of the trim, the grills, door handles, arm rests and bases, window cranks, windshield, switches, radio, speakers, dome lights, kick panels, sill plates, locks, radiator, frame connectors, and half of the wiring. I didn't do much in the way of customizing.

Our '68 Charger needed all of the same components plus full floor, trunk floor, wheel tubs, tail lights, both bumpers and rear valance.

The Roadrunner was comparatively easy and so was the Duster.

I tried to pinch each penny I stuck in the 'Cuda but I know I'm upside down on it. I love the early Barracudas but I'm pretty sure I could have put a B-body together for the same cost and it'd probably book for more money. Of course money is never the only consideration on these builds.


I love your Phoenix build. I get a stiffy every time I look at your thread. It's what I would have liked to have done but I kept reining myself in because I figured Teresa would get too scared of the car to ride in it.

For being on a budget, I kinda splurged on the motor from MRL, but it was really nice to have a dependable, streetable 500+ HP engine ready to drop in. I wish I had a better shop so I could start shooting my own paint. I did spray the gold on the Duster but I wasn't trying to get a show car finish on it so I did it as cheap as possible working in my messy garage.
