Well, after 2 years abandoned in the garage by me, and 22 years abandoned by the previous owner in a garage after years of being raced, the Cuda is back to life.
It's a 1967 Barracuda notch, originally a /6 auto, white bench interior, blue exterior. The interior is now white buckets with console, and the exterior is maroon. Now has a early 70's 360, 727, 8 3/4 with 3.91 SG, 26" radiator, tranny cooler, and big bolt discs up front with sway bar. Looking it over, the car has a 340 K frame with the welded washer, the 360 has J heads, an Edelbrock LD4B intake, a Holley 750 double pumper, a re curved distributor, M/T valve covers, a Mopar Purple cam shaft, etc. The 727 has a manual valve body, and the 3.91 is a 742 case.
One of the corners of the carb mount area was broken off the LD4B, so I replaced it with an Edelbrock RPM I had laying around. I robbed the distributor and M/T valve covers for the 340 in my Dart. I sold the rallye's off the rear and put on a pair of Cragar's to keep it a roller.
I bought a few fenders, dual exhaust cut out rear valence, turn signal housings, and other parts from a guy just outside Seattle. I traded a friend some parts for a set of front bumper brackets, headlight bezels (undented!), and front valence.
When I bought the car, it came with a spare NOS trunk lid, NOS doors, and an extra hood from a 1968 with the 340 S inserts. I swapped the trunk lid over recently, and plan on doing the hood soon since the one on it is tweaked a bit. I put the front end together today.
