Im an 18 year old straight out of high school from CT. I recently purchased my first car which happens to be a 66 Barracuda. Shes not all that much at the moment but i have almost all of the parts to restore her to her former glory. Im going to keep it as original as possible (except the super six and front disc breaks im puttting in but hey whats a little extra power and saftey?) i look forward to becoming part of this community and learning more about the culture that surrounds these cars.

Welcome to FABO.

You may also want to consider going to a dual reservoir master cylinder for the brakes for safety...

Nice car, it has potential.

Welcome to the fun! Looks like a great Mopar project :finga:...

Dave,
 
Welcome! Quick heads up expect to spend way more than you thought you would. What brake setup are you going to use? If you go with the 73+ big bolt pattern, swap in an 8.25 rear and you can very easily bolt on rear disc brakes! 4 wheel disc brakes over drums anyday!

I'm not positive what setup it is but the guy I bought the car from said he got the setup off a 79 volare
 
Great choice in a new ride! I have a daughter the same age, great to see a young guy having an interest in these cars. Good luck with it.

That would make it the big bolt pattern. So I would start looking for that 8.25. A body rear.

Actually I have that just needs to be cut down thank you for the advice

Before you engage into cut the rear, price it. It might be cheaper to use an a body 8.25 rear than cut one down. The 8.25 isn't expensive (compared to 8.75 or Dana 60).
