1968 Barracuda Notch - Plano, TX
Send me those rear finish panels...they're just right for redo. I'll make 'em look KILLA!!!
The rear finish panels were redone many years back by All Trim. I bought them from him directly, they were his last few pieces in inventory after he stopped taking outside work. They have been stored until recently and any defects you see in the picture are either (1) illusions due to bad pictures, (2) garage dust, or (3) reflections. You need to see them in person, they are "3 footers", probably better condition than a week old car off the dealer lot. I still have to adjust the trunk closing and the tail lights... not easy to get to look perfect on these cars.
Da BIG BLOCK gonna do ALL THE TALK.
Just put my 440 Dart into the 10s WITHOUT CALTRACS. Fun stuf.
KEEP BUILDING...
I have not been able to work on the car for a while. Should be back at it soon, I can't wait to be driving it again. The previous revision of this engine was a 550hp 440 w/ mildly ported iron heads, a BG 840cfm carb, and an Eddy RPM intake. The new Aluminum heads raise the compression a full point and increase air flow potential by 20%. The "new" intake has huge ports, 1900cfm throttle body, and port EFI.
It should be a bit of fun, especially with the "new" manual transmission. The stick may hurt a little in the drag race department, but this is meant to be a street driven car, not a dedicated race machine and I have always liked my stick cars. This car was my first big block with an automatic. Time to go back to manual shifting for me. My first two big block cars were a 383 4 spd and a 440 4 spd. I miss the shifting gears part.
