'69 Barracuda
69 Barracuda fastback
It had been stored in a garage in St. Petersburg FL for many years
but the owner moved north to Tallahassee and brought it here with
the intent of restoring. He had kept the car licensed and in good mechanical shape and had recently re-done the interior. The paint appeared to be original until I had it
done in PPG base clear with the original Gold color. It was in very good shape with only a few quarter size rust holes in one lower quarter, one fender, and the tire well. It looks very nice, but it is not a show car. The tail panel
is in excellent condition, really surprised me on that. Seems like
the 69's are always beat to death. The seat
skins, door panels, and headliner are new and look terrific- very nice split
bench white/parchment color. The 318 runs and
drives fine. I did add a 2.25" dual exhaust system
using turbo mufflers last week. That definitely improved the
performance and the sound is very pleasant- just a bit more audible than stock. Definitely not annoying. I have the stock hub caps but now have 15 x 8 Rallys with the cone style centers: 15 x 8 in back and 14 x 5.5 up front with RWL tires. The
trim/chrome/emblems are nice- bumpers are acceptable for a driver.
The hard work and time consuming efforts are done with this car. No body work, no interior, brake, or mechanical. This car right now could make an excellent original driver or it could be modified with a hot rod engine too. I do have a valid FL title in my name as well: $10.000.00 I am located in North Florida- Tallahassee, just 25
miles south of the GA border on I10. I have a few pics that are not
great, but can take more. Please contact me at penick'at"
