As you all have requested is pictures of my babies. Seen as the only one i have laid my hands on in a while is the '69 here are those pictures. Well i should give a bit of history on this puppy. Everything changed one morning leaving my house and driving up the wrong street for some dumb reason, but as fate would have it there sitting on the corner of the next block was this beautiful blue '68 'Cuda with non original engine and rusted to hell rockers and massive amount of body work, which i did think about for about a week until someone else bought it. Ever sence laying my eyes on that '68 i knew i want a a body barracuda. For the next few months I searched high and low for a suitible barracuda. My pursuits lead me to a great group of guys know as the 67-69 barracuda's owners group. Which i have several great friendships which is how i got my '68. Also out ot Wildcat Autos, which in it self was a endless loop of dead ends. For about three months i watch ebay looking for the car i wanted, which was something with a console, bucket seats, a 340 or bigger. Finally saw the '69 it went up once and i was like nah i can't afford at the time. Then the next week it came up and i was like yea what the hell and started calling my bank and was like can you guys get me a loan for a classic car that needs work and they were like hell yea what is the potiential price on the thing. So about a week later i got the loan and won the auction for the cuda, all original 69 340-S fastback. and of course the pictures on ebay hid **** like always. But i still don't regret it. With the date set to pick it up, i wait patiently by cleaning out my uncles garage as i had no where else to store it and i was like screw waiting to get out of college and find a job, then a house. Me and my uncle Terry took the trip out to Jersey and back to pick her up in two days. Lets just say i was like never again, at least next time i'll take a little more time for travel. But the look on people's faces when we went threw the tolls was great. One guy i sat there for a few minutes chatting to him about and he reconisied it right away and was like sweet a barracuda. Well i got it home rolled into the garage and remove the grills right away knowing how much of a pain it is to replace them. About a week later i decide it was time to dig into the engine and find out if she will turn over by hand, and nope. then proceeded to open the enigne up. the pictures will say more then i can ever say about them. I just remember me sitting in the engine bay unbolting the heads and lifting one up and getting my feet wet as the head came off the tired out 340. After talking to many people i decide to rebuilt the little 340 and make her a bit more robust then she was. And that is where she sits.
