The Bastard 1/2 65 & 1/2 66
I go to look at a car the guy says is a 65 Barracuda that has a 318,727,Vintage air, custom gauges nice interior that runs and drives great. I try to get a couple other friends to buy the car because I have other projects in the works but they won't. We work out a deal and we put the taillights in and I drive it home. When they see the car they both want it so I sell it my friend Padro. Now I know next to nothing about these year cars. Padro calls me and says that the car has a 65 frontend with a 65 rear and a 65 VIN and wants to know if I want it back. I say hell ya. I like the car and think that it will make a nice everyday driver with the air and it dosen't bother me about the years.
So I got it all sanded and ready for some primer today. I found a couple places of rust that I will replace. I hope to have it in primer this weekend.
The car came form Florida to Alabama a couple years ago. Does anyone konw anything about this car? Just a longshot but you never know. Just wondering about the different year parts.
I found a bill of sale to a person in Florida for $6,500 and the tickets for over $9,200 for work on the car. A lot of new parts were put on the car and it drives like it.
I will post a few pics as I go.
P.S If anyone likes the car I may sell it. $2,600 before i work on it. I have all the parts and trim. The rust on the car is mostly surface rust and has now been sanded and ready for primer.
