    And so it begins...
    « on: July 15, 2008 - 11:26:46 AM »
    Dumped a little fuel in the carb and it fired right up.  Not much to say at the moment, except it runs, it stops, and has little rust to speak of. On to the good stuff!!!

    Nice Find!!  If you don't mind me asking, what did you get it for?  I've really been warming up to the A-body Barracudas.  I'll bet that'll be a real blast to work on.

    What plans do you have?

    Good luck!!  And goodbye to your money!!

    Actually it's my Dads. He bought it off a Buddy of mine for $2500 I think.  It's a one owner all original survivor car. My buddies dad bought it new.  He passed away a couple years ago and now My dad owns it.  Can't wait to go down and give him a hand with it.

    Looks like a great project car.  Are you going to restore, keep it a survivor, or get radical  :crazy:

    I think he wants to restore it, but with a few changes. Some Disc Brakes and he's talking about a 273 or other V8
