Project 1968 Barracuda

[CoreyB]

My next project has arrived!! Its a 1968 Cuda that we will be dropping a 340 into. It was recently painted but its not up to my standards so I will be painting it myself, probably the same color or very close. The interior is great, brand new seats and headliner, door panels are excellent, just needs a little paint on the black metal areas. This build will take a couple months and I wont be getting started for a week or so, I will keep this updated with progress pics for those interested in following the build.

Very cool..I love 'cudas.

Very cool!! Those notchbacks are neat little cars! Was this originally a slant six car? One of my friend's kept the slant six in his '69 & built it up to be different...The thing confuses the hell of out many idling. :P

This was a 273 car. Cant wait to get started on it.

Nice!! My other friend has a '68 Formula S fastback B'cuda to restore at some point...I think I need to get an A-body as well once I get my Challenger done! :P

Are you going with a factory 340 or an R3 block? I have an original block for mine, but may end up splurging when I choose to build it up & get the R3 block ('cause I want to TT it).

Good luck with the project, man!

Its an original 340 out of another vehicle, I honestly have no idea what a R3 block is?

Joe, there is no engine or trans in the car right now, but it does look better up high than a 3S does lol.

Not enough of this type of iron running around, Corey.

You're performing a great service to the movement.

BTW-

If it had been a fastback, I guarantee I'd have no comment - YUCK!

Agreed

Is it sitting high at the front cus no motor or is it trying to copy the 3S wheel gap?
