engine build for reliability
My Daughter drives a 1967 Barracuda with a 273 with 2 bl carb. Points and std distributor . Rebuilt Mopar alternator. She had it repainted in 1989 but does not drive it in the winter here in Minnesota. Her Barracuda is very reliable and does not let her stranded on the road. Easy to work on and parts are available if needed. I would keep it more original.
