purchased a 69 barracuda notchback a few months ago and i've been bummin around FABO gettin opinions and ideas for how i want to build her. car left the factory in 69 a a triple black slant six. black velvet paint, black interior, black stripe. was painted a burgendy red at some point then gutted for some reason. the guy before me bought her as a shell i.e. no chrome no trimmings at all jus interior and a body and wheels. he pulled the slant six and dropped in a 360 v8 then started restorin her as a drag car for the tv show pinks when they came to gainesville. he son got married and they stopped workin on her i got her for $5,000 no rust no body marks jus no grill,radio, or glovebox or trim on the outside at all and painted petty blue, not a bad color jus not good on the notchback! i since purchased new seat leathers, headliner, all new chrome mirrors and doorhandles, weather stripping, window felts. and emblems, only thing i can't seem to find it the barracuda fish v8 emblems. plans are to repait with a go green exterior clean up the interior already set her up on some rallye wheels from a 72 cuda. still no beauty rings though. stick a straight strobe stripe on the side and a mock shaker hoodscoop on the hood since i can't afford to put a real one in right now. the glass will be refitted this month as well as all the wetherstripping. my dad has switched out the kickdown for a cable kickdown and put in a electronic ignition to get rid of the points in the distributer. i'm gonna post some pics here in a bout a month when i get back from iraq only a few more weeks till i get to see her in person!:cheers:
