1970 Barracuda Convertible
« on: March 28, 2016 - 03:20:35 PM »
My father's 1970 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible , Original with 318/auto,AC,power top and power windows.
This car was used on the strip in sweden with a 426 Hemi and 4-speed.
Sold to Norway in 2000 and was only driven a year or two,then it was parked in a garage.
Car was picked up 1.september 2015 and it will go through some upgrades this year!

The car will get a 5.7 Hemi with TKO600,RMS Suspension and Wilwood brakes,US car tool stiffening kit etc.
