Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
Years ago someone had vandalized the funnycar by slashing my Goodyear slicks. There was so much work left to do on it that I never bothered to replace them. Instead, it's been dragged to places on flats whenever it needed to be moved.
Yesterday I came across a used pair of slicks on Craigslist. The guy had listed them for $100 originally but got no takers. I guess there's not much of a market for 33.5X17X16s around here. Even though they're half way used up, I needed to put a set on the car if I was ever going to progress with chassis & the aluminum work. I offered him $40 for the pair and he took it. At least they're not weather checked or scarred. I know it's not a major step forward but at least it won't be holding me up now and maybe this baby will be rolling again soon.
