5.2 in a 68 Barracuda

Some times it pays to get out of bed early!

I went to my friend's house to look at a 98 Jeep Cherokee Limited SE that he is parting out. He said at first that he was going to take the leftovers in for scrap next week. He called last evening and said he needed to flip the Cherokee and he planned on hauling it off on Thursday, that I needed to get there today for any parts.

I got the parts I needed this morning and nonchalantly asked what he would get for scrap and if he would sell to me for something a little over scrap price. He agreed to sell it to me!

The car wasn't running when he got it, but the engine turns freely. The original owner replaced a bunch of electrical parts. I'm assuming that it probably has a bad sensor (I'm guessing crank sensor).

I'm going to pick up the leftover shell tomorrow. I'm getting 5.9 Magnum, all a/c parts dash, steering, rear end, doors, rear hatch, shifter, PCM, all wiring, electric fan, plus other misc. stuff.

This GC has a freakin' 9 1/4 Suregrip!

Man, am I stoked! There is a 67 Belvedere here locally for about 4 grand. Next up, b-body resto-mod!
