Hi abodyjoe, Thanks for the input. So the 68+ bodies and parts are easier to find in your opinion? That is definitely good to know. I hadn't considered that since my pops just got the clean '66 and the idea was to get a matching one. But this has all popped up real quick and grand plans can...

Jim, not only is that really cool you have those two pictures of your old ’66, but I think that looks pretty slick what you did pulling the vinyl and painting it. Cudamark, no worries, but it was awfully kind of you to check and I thank you for that! Patience is part of the game. Kendog, wow...

Hi Fishypete, thanks for that. Noticing that trim for vinyl is somthing easy for me to miss since I had never actually seen one like that before!

Cudamark, that looks like a real fun place to spend an afternoon! It definitely looks cleaner than the one I am currently looking at. Interested in learning more, and I appreciate your willingness to reach out the the guy. That Valiant convertible you picked up will be pretty awesome when...

Hi Cudamark, appreciate all the info above! The other one you saw behind it is the 'clean' one that my dad and I are starting off with restoring and building. This one is a second that the seller had that they originally intended to rebuild, so not a parts car. It would come with a bunch of...

Neat history. Pretty good summary

3...2...1...Liftoff! That is pretty impressive for sure. Woah, looking through the glass the engine is in the back I think. Lots of work went into that one I bet.

Howdy Jim, thanks for that info. I am going to have to keep it in mind when seeing it in person, as I am unfamiliar with how the VIN and Shipping Order Numbers work. This car was described as "numbers matching" and "original engine" so I was kind of assuming it meant that the VIN must also be on...

Inland Empire, so east of you I think?

ocdart, thanks for the welcome! I am also in SoCal, and my dad is in NorCal, so got it all covered haha. I think I lean more towards a 'restomod' build, but that said I don't want to mess up something special. It seems like this one may not be too rare, but I definitely need to check on that...

Kendog, that is a pro for California cars. I lived in AZ for many years too and rust is not so bad. Off topic, they store a lot of planes and things in AZ just because it is dry and rust is low. Makes for a fun trip to the Air and Space museum. Professor Fate, thanks for the thorough list of...

Tad, I have noticed the same thing about the car shows and the fad increasing prices. Part of the reason I wanted to check before writing this one off as too rusty since these cars are new territory for me. Good to know it is safe to consider the car as-is without wondering if it is some...

318willrun, fortunately, it is about the trip. In the past I tried to work on my daily driver...what a nightmare that was, but good lessons in hindsight. 66fyssh, interesting notes about how hard it is to find panels and trim. I haven't been able to see underneath to check the frame and that is...

Hey thanks a ton for the insight. It comes down to a fun thing to do with pops, so no matter what I am sure it will be successful. The one he got is going to be a ton of fun. 66 4 sp previously swapped to a 318. Now I want to find one too! Tad those pictures are pretty neat, and I appreciate...

Howdy all, Just joined, though have been reading here a lot over the last couple weeks. Long story short, my pops is just retiring and he picked up a really nice 66 Barracuda that we are going to restore together. Awesome. It has me thinking that I will get one too, and do a slower build over...
