1966 Barracuda with Factory Vinyl Top
I bought this car in December 2018. It had been completely disassembled by the seller and sitting in their garage since 2003. It spent all of its life in Texas and is rust free. I trailered it home & it's been in my garage ever since - something I could work on when I felt like it. Now it's done & I need to move it on due to losing a garage space.
I have a LOT of pictures & virtually ALL documentation going back around 30 years, including the previous Texas owner's.
Here's a rundown of the basics:
59,800 actual miles, original 273 2 bbl, 904 auto, console, originally A/C (now gone), bright yellow/black vinyl top, radio (not currently hooked up), rallye wheel, power steering, tinted glass.
In the restoration I have added the following NEW parts:
Tires, tinted windshield, arm rests, headliner, seals/weatherstripping/wind lacing, carpet,water pump, vinyl top, glove box, starter,battery, master cylinder, brake cylinders, complete 2 1/2" Formula S exhaust (except resonator), battery, gas tank/sending unit, hoses, carb rebuild kit, electric fan. There's more, but you get the idea...
I wanted to keep it as stock as possible, but instead of re-doing the stock front buckets, I installed a pair of nicely matching buckets from a Jeep Patriot. Also the 14" wheels are old school E/T Turbines in very nice condition.
Although you'd never know it, the exterior yellow isn't PAINT, it is a WRAP (my son does this professionally). It is beautiful, durable & low maintenance - just wash it. It NEVER needs waxing.
Since completion, I've driven the car nearly 100 miles & it is a joy to drive. It's HOT here now, but the temp gauge never goes past the middle.
This is my first (and last) restoration, so the car isn't perfect, but it's REALLY nice, if I do say so myself. Hopefully a MOPAR guy (or gal) who has been looking for an attention-getting RARE car will see this and take it home.
I've priced it at $16,000. No trades.
I'm in Northern Kentucky (Cincinnati, Ohio area). Let me know if you're interested. I've never sold a car on this site, & I'm not real computer literate, so bear with me regarding communication. I'll do my best to provide other pictures & answer questions.
Thanks,
Mark
