    like my two 67’s for your 1 69?

    Well that would be perfect, but, I was just wondering if you'd be interested in my 69 project car. I will never get to it I don't think. I don't have the skills nor the money. Time, that I might have, altho, I'm 64, and nobody knows when their number comes up..
    And I do have spare parts to make something from yours.
    I'm interested in the FB car, and Canucky is interested in your notchy. And you're only about 4 hours away from me. So my mind has been tossing ideas around. But if you're not interested, in my 69, well .........

    I would love to trade my two for your 1. I am terrible at the ways of this site as I have not heard from anyone interested in my notchback; seriously, anyhow.

    OK
    Here is a brief description of my car;
    It's a 69 , originally a 340 car with a 727,3.23-8.75 automatic,buckets/console, Power drum-brakes, P/S,
    The powertrain has been removed from it. The engine and the rearend have been torn down. When I got it in 81 from the second owner, it was a 4 speed.He got it that way too.He said the original owner had it converted to Cuda-340 status minus the hood scoops,at the dealer, before it ever left the lot.I didn't bother to verify, cuz at the time I didn't care.I just wanted a 340/4speedfb anykindaBarracuda.
    Bottom line is the original 727 is long gone.I can supply a core.
    The interior, is out, but I do still have everything except the carpet which was junk anyway.
    I think I could scare most everything up to make "A" complete car, altho it would take a bit of time as the parts are scattered all over the place.

    It needed a lotta work, when I retired it to it's current location, several years ago; rear qtrs, trunk extensions, drivers floor,fender dog-legs, all the usual stuff. I haven't seen it in about 4 years.

    I know I'll never get around to restoring it, and that saddens me..
    If you're still interested, I could borrow a camera and try to send some pics.

    I talked to 68383GTS, the fella that did the work on your FB,and he is willing to finish up the metalwork, so I would need it to be shipped to his place in Preoria-IL.
    A fella up here named Cannucky, from BC, is interested in your notchie. I have no Passport at this time, so I would send someone down with my 69, and swap for it, to haul back to Canada.
    Later, when the fastback returns to your place, by then I would likely have a passport, and could come down and pick it up, and, of course, spend a little time visiting.
    This is fast becoming a 4-party deal, and I imagine could take a bit of time to hammer out. Are you in a hurry?
    Cannucky is gonna contact you for details on the notch.
    So this is just a preliminary proposal, with details to be worked out. IMO it could end very well. The way I see it, is like this;
    - Cannucky gets the project of his dreams.
    - I get a car almost ready for paint
    -68383GTS gets some cash for his participation
    - and you end up with a 1 of 1431, 1969 FormulaS340 FB cars, with the original block,as a project, plus some much needed working space in your garage,lol.

    I suppose it could go sour, if one of us gets cranky, but I don't want to think about such things.
    You know what, maybe we could start a new thread, all 4 of us together,and transfer these conversations there, as an example as to what can be done,.....or not ,depending on how it plays out, among 4 dedicated Moparites.

    I would love to see some pictures of your 69. Id like to see what exactly id be getting into.
  8. Today at 9:55 AM
    Ok but that will have to wait a couple of days. I'll have to borrow a camera and make the trek to where it is . Please be patient.

    I find myself jumping around in four different threads already and I'm starting to get lost at times. So I have an idea to start a new thread where all 4 of us can meet. Say yes and I'll get the ball rolling.
  9. Today at 10:02 AM
    Yes, the new thread would be appreciated. And, I am patient. Thank you.
