On August 8th a self proclaimed "Chevy Guy" traded his 2001 Z-28 for a 1968 Barracuda and entered the world of the Pentastar for the first time. I'm a total Mopar newbie, so please bear with me as I learn.
The car's got a 451" "B" engine with a 125 shot, 727, 8 3/4" with 4.10's, mini-tubbed with ladder bars. I wish I had more info on the engine internals, but I don't. Sounds healthy though! I'm sure I'll end up tearing it apart before I drive it for the first time anyway. I wish I could drive it now, but I'm recovering from a shattered femur and as per the doctor's orders, can't drive. If it wasn't for my supportive wife I wouldn't even have the car. She actually agreed to load my Camaro onto a trailer, drag it all the way to Ohio to meet the guy I traded with and drag the Barracuda home! I am a lucky guy! Anyway, enough with the small talk and onto the important stuff....pics! These pics are what the old owner sent me as we were corresponding back and forth. As I do things and am able I'll post up new ones.
