Another parts car. 67 formula S

[Oldmanmopar]

Here are pictures where it came from. I also got the Dart running while I was down there. That was deal we had on the Barracuda. I get the Dart running The Barracuda can be bought.
The car has a fresh 273 commando, 391 sure grip . 741 case, "That usually means clutch style". The car sat for at least 10 years maybe more with a fresh motor . And a paint job that never saw the road. That is how close it was to being saved. Its demise was started at a time when you couldn't buy a windshield rubber

Basically what we saw here was. The nice front end and all the chrome trim is nice we took the trunk chrome off to take the trunk lock out. He had a 1970 340 block and a golf cart enclosure setting there, The man George threw that in . George had a tragedy in his family. In no way was this guy worried about these cars . There was a lot of money put into this car. I found this car due to my Son-in-law being a owner of a real estate Co.

This car will not be saved . Believe me it is not worth it. Even though its numbers matching it has exceeded it service limits.

I will take more pictures when we get it on the lift. And tell you a little more about the both cars in the pictures . That isn't a 68 Dart .
Does the absence of the wing windows let that cat out of the bag?

The barracuda Wasn't what it appeared to be. Something we missed until we were unloading it at home

Meet. "George" One heck of a nice man. He was just dealt a bad tragedy that I won't talk about it . But! What I can tell you it was a severe car crash. And He visits the site.

I didn't know he visits the site until the car was on the trailer. My Daughter brought us over us two pizza's a bag of chips and a cooler of waters . At the end of the day I think our voice boxes were more tired then our bodies. We just hit it off and got along. LOL

Is that a '67 Dodge Dart converted into a '68?

 

[Oldmanmopar]

1974- 75 Dodge Dart

The Barracuda looks pretty complete, is it a rust bucket, and are you saying it not worth saving?

 

[Oldmanmopar]

There is more to it then Rust. I got some pics on the lift next door where we're dropping the motor and K-member out today. When you look at the car Under the hood No Data plate. And I made the deal with George many years ago. So the car was a little nice. Yesterday I noticed it was clipped. then Todd noticed the car was silver from the factory when he went through the back seat to open the trunk.

 

[Oldmanmopar]

1974-76 front clip. The car was sitting face in up against the metal ducts next to the dart. You could only see the engine compartment from the Pass. side while I was standing on those rotors next to the Dart. I never looked down. This car was in a accident probably over 20 years ago. It was totally redone. The K-member is a 70 up 340 with disc brakes. The rear housing doesn't look like it was ever removed. The leaf spring is rusted off on the Pass. side. I'll get some more pictures today

I Love the red interior!

Way to spoil it for OMM. You guys are turning his thread into a sale thread and it will either have to be butchered up to remove the offers to buy or deleted.

I hate that the Barracuda is not worth saving from what you are saving. You can never find a 67 Notch S with the 273, they have just disappeared. You can locate 383 cars, but not 273. Would have been a real nice car to have fun with.

 

[Oldmanmopar]

Will you be selling parts off it ?

There are no Barracuda parts being sold from this car or this thread.

 

[Oldmanmopar]

Again we bought this car for parts for our cars . Todd needs everything for his notch nothing is being sold. We will keep the front clip for when we need one for cars that come here for repairs. I thought some of you would enjoy pictures of another car going to the grave. Wait until you see the pictures I took today. We put a windshield in today to button it up. The drive line will come out and we'll put the suspension and rear from the 4 door dart in it to keep it rolling. We are working on getting another Barracuda 340 4spd. We do not know the condition except its all original in a big old garage . That should be the next Barracuda coming. I want the 4spd. console and trans from that car.

Some pics of the car coming apart. and we put a windshield in it.

 

[Oldmanmopar]

We'll be taking the front apart tomorrow.

 

[Oldmanmopar]

You can see by these pictures of the leafs spring brackets this rear has been in there for a long time. probably since new. Under coating on the brackets extend to the body.

Also the carpet glued over carpet and its been sitting without a windshield for many many years. Water was retained until the floors rusted through.

One other thing look at the CB/Radio antenna and its mopar with the correct hold down for an a-body

We didn't drop the motor and K-member out of it yet. Maybe today. We have to get the 340 Duster driveline off the stand.

 

[toolmanmike]

Looks like a lot should come apart with a cutting torch. Lots of crusty rusty there.

 

[Oldmanmopar]

Actually every bolt came out with an impact. The only part we needed heat for was the newer stainless brake line going to the rear hose. We didn't want to ruin the new line so we heated the hose end. If any of you all ever heated a brake hose you know how they pop off. We cut the hose flush to the fitting first and the darn thing still went flying in flames landing right on a guys lap sitting here. It was a really funny finally seeing him get off the chair.

One thing I wanted to add is what the the asking price was and the purchase price.

He was asking $2800 he came down to $2500 with fixing his dart and some negotiations I got the car for $1900.

We saw the Front fenders , grille and bumpers.

The fresh motor.
The 8 3/4 track lock
Plus a lot of small parts such as 273 4 bbl throttle pressure console shifter linkage.

I thought $1900 was fair to both parties, He got his dart running and cash for a car that has been sitting there for a long time. I think I am going back down for a couple 340 Dusters we saw sitting.

One at a time is all I can do and I am running out of room for parts. As soon as the Dump trailer is done being built we are cleaning out of the overflow.
