Hey guys, the car set up in a garage in the california desert completly disassembled down to the hull with nothing but the rearend in it for 32 years. It was parked in 1975 and was going to be painted orange. it was a factory purple car.
I bought the car late june in 2006 and it came with a 70 440-6 intake setup. 2 440 blocks and heads 68 and a 69 hp, along with all the parts that was stripped off the car. It took a year to clean it up, build an engine, buy the wheels and tires, the 4 speed, exhaust yadda yadda and dash pad.
But the odometer says 42k on it and it being parked in 75 and fairly good shape, i was inclined to believe it may be the actual miles on the body. It has never seen a total of 1" of rain since it was made in La. and being in the desert for so long.
The only factory item I really don't like is the 6 way seat. It puts me too high up and the steering wheel is uncomfortable that way for driving. It's such a rare car that I dont have the heart to go modifying anything. But a smaller tuff wheel is in the picture. And it will remain a barracuda. But the 440 will stay in it for quite a while.
