Hello everyone, I'm Mike from Northern California. Thanks for having me. I've had a few mopars over the years but in my 20's I lost my 68 Barracuda for making silly choices. I loved that car. Had tons of fun with it. I'm 50 now and didn't think I'd ever find another one I could afford. A few weeks back a buddy of mine that has a tow service (and has no issue crushing cars) sent me a picture of one he was towing. Short story long, she's safe and part of the family now. A good friend of mine belongs to the E body forum and says he has got great help and made a few friends as well. Said I should do myself a favor and join this forum so here I am. Thanks again,
Mike.

Looks like you are rescuing the poor thing. Good job. Take and post more pictures during disassembly. I was stationed in Sacramento for 5 years while I was in the Air force. We liked that area. You will be able to get any answer you could ever imagine answered here. Tell us a bit more about the car and your plans.
WELCOME
 
Thanks for saving it from the crusher! Looks like it's pretty solid. That's going to give you lots of great times!!

Welcome to FABO!
 
Thanks harrisonm, I hope I can remember to take photos as I'm going, I always tell myself I will. Right now I'm thinking about pretty well stock. Due to sitting under the redwoods on the Mendocino coast since 1974, the floors are pretty well gone. But all in all it's not horrible. Currently it has a 225 slant 6 with a 3 speed column shift. My buddy has a solid 318 that he just wants gone so that will get swapped. Other than that, I think I'm gonna get a whole lots of opportunities to succeed trying my hand at metal work.
