Father son project.
Hello
My son just bought a 65 barracuda off facebook for $7500 running and driving. I am the chief mechanic.Back story is a person dump a lot of money in a restoration up grades many after market parts.with rebuilt engine and paint not professionally It’s a 10 footer by looks but is an eye catching.First drive the connecting rod left the block.the owner sick from lost investment put it in storage.years later new owner.He replaces engine with a 318 I haven’t identified yet looks like a truck engine with a hacker oil pan modifications.I am chasing problems at the moment ,but first impressions no rot in floors,torque boxes,rails or anywhere k member has a good thump in front but good all panels look good but never sure.
Leak on the driver side looks to be the fresh duct drain maybe plugged haven’t found exit yet cleaning it out today.Also fluid changes and trying to figure out the oil dipstick with the modified oil pan. The brakes have some gremlins to sort out(modified) pretty sure it’s the booster.Also adjust the b&m shifter then test drive
My son is also going to join soon
Overall I think he has a great car
