    1968 Dodge Dart GTS convertible (Not mine) Craigslist

    I have seen this car in person, and it is stunning. The current owner is a long-time owner and a really nice guy. It is non-numbers matching, but it is a rare one for sure. 1968 Dart GTS 383 Conv.

    Scott Smith at Harms Auto - Great vendor!

    I just wanted to say that Scott Smith at Harms Auto is one of the good guys. I sent him a crudded up ol' 4618S core that was ROUGH to say the least. He sent it back and it is a jewel. He would be one of the only ones I would trust to do a factory AVS resto. Not sure if he comes on this site...

    Turbostart out of the Restoration Battery Business...

    Not sure of the impact or if this has be addresses in another thread, but Axion Power (aka Turbostart) is no longer making their restoration series battery. Sad day. I hate to see good products go by the wayside. Lord knows we need all the help we can get in support from the aftermarket...

    My (2) 69 Barracudas are going to be up for grabs on eBay

    I just wanted to share it here before they hit eBay tomorrow at 10am PST. I figured I might as well let you all know that the time has come to likely part with one or both of my cars. One you all know about, my 340 convertible, but I also have a 440 'cuda notchback that I purchased and tried...

    Great Month For FABO Members

    First, let me congratulate HemiMark on his phenomenal 68 Hemi Barracuda feature in this month's Mopar Action. The story is fantastic. I am going to re-read it again and again, and I have always loved that car since the great eBay score... As a footnote, yours truly got a mention in the...

    Fall Fling XIX Oct 25th 2014 - Who's Going? and Photo Thread

    http://www.cpwclub.com/fallevents/fall-fling-event/ Not sure if autoxcuda has started a thread here, but I know there is one on another Mopar site, so I figured I would take the plunge and ask the question, "Who's Going?" Looks like I am going to be able to make it this year, and though I...

    1969 Barracuda 340 and 383 Registry

    Good afternoon all! I have been working for a while to try and get a 340 and 383 registry off of the ground as a compliment to the 440 registry that BB-Dave has. Most of what I have thusfar has been information that I have gathered over some time, and I think I am at a point where I should be...

    Spring Fling 2014 - Who's Going? and Photo Thread

    Hey all, I am going to try and make it this year (like I say every year). I am hoping to clean up the car and make the 2 hour trek from Sandy Eggo. Who else is going, and I figured we could make this an official photo thread. I know that in years past there is typically a banner for FABO...

    Beer bet about 69 grilles

    Did the cores start black and then painted argent (silver) for standard cars, or were there seperate colors for black and argent. Seems black was a much lower demand item. I do know that black should be black through and through and not painted. Someone claims the factory painted them silver...

    1969 340 Barracuda Convertible Engine Detailing

    So..... I was looking at my engine bay towards the end of Cali cruise season (and the rest of the car to be honest), and I started getting the itch to kick up the appearance of my engine bay and make it more cosmetically correct. Its not bad, but it is also not perfect. Not that Cali cruise...

    Sigh...another Barracuda slips off the hook

    So I had to share this because it seems to happen to me pretty frequently. Let me provide what I know: 1970 Barracuda Looked fairly complete Car ran (assume 383) not sure if NOM Auto with console Interior looked fairly complete (though mice had been snacking) Raised letter plates from late...

    71 Demon 318 Auto or 72 Demon 340 4 speed

    Before you think I have a screw loose, hear me out. The 71 needs nothing but to be driven (nothing special, it is a yellow 318, auto car and the 318 was rebuilt a bit ago but is reliable), and the hemi orange 72 is missing a windshield, has not moved or even been started in 20 years, and the...

    Some guys have all the luck...

    I read this from the Mopar Club of San Diego newsletter. I had to share a nice find (though it would have been nicer for me to find it). Hopefully you can still read the article. Bottom line - rust free 1968 4 speed 340 Formula 'S'. Very nice shape and I wouldn't change a thing.

    Barracuda windshield trim question

    Why is it that it seems like almost every 69 convertible (and quite a few 67-69 Barracudas) that I look at for sale is missing the lower windshield trim? Did they all fly off at high speed or what? It is like how my dryer always eats one sock. When I bought my car, there was a shriveled...

    69 Dart Western Sport Special...RARE?

    Anything "special" (pun fully intended) about the 69 Dart Western Sport Special...other than only a Cali option and trim package? Is there a fender tag code to designate it as such?

    How to prepare a car for storage?

    The car will be in storage from Feb - Aug in a covered garage (in San Diego, so no huge temp swings) and I am coming up with a checklist for myself to do prior to that...thoughts? Pull battery, put on trickle charger and top off with distilled water (if needed) Check/change all fluids Fuel...

    How to verify if an A-body is numbers matching?

    Spcifically, a 69 Barracuda Vert. I am aware of the dash VIN, engine block VIN, the radiator support and the driver's side trunk under the weatherstripping. Are there other spots to check? Broadcast sheet (if they have it, or it is in the car)...what am I missing? Are there numbers on the...

    69 Barracuda 340 versus 340-s...

    Alright Mopar numbers gurus and white book owners, I am just wondreing what the key differences are between the two? Am I looking at badging, tail panel and the fender tag? Would it be listed as A53 if it was a 340-s? Are there other key differences? Just trying to get a handle on this...

    Who on here has used Galen's services?

    I am curious since I have found some older posts on other boards (before the economy took a dump) about people waiting FOREVER to hear back from GG after they contracted his services to do fender tags, broadcast sheet decoding, fender tag decoding, etc. I just wanted to know from members on...
