    New Australian Member 73 barracuda..
    « on: December 13, 2007 - 04:33:33 PM »
    Hey Guys,

    My name is Sam, i Moved to the US in Febuary this year for work, now i have been taken to Vancouver Canada. I'm 26 years old and have a passion for muscle cars.

    My pride and joy is a Pro Street 77 Trans-Am that i have been working on for 9 years. But since moving here , its time to get another car.

    Always been a fan of the E-body and this week i am in the process of purchasing a 73 440 Barracuda from Ontario. I have an inspection taking place at the moment and if the report comes back as good as the pictures i have already seen and the information provided. It will be on a train west bound and hopefully land here first week in January.

    I'll have plenty of questions to ask you guys as this is my first Mopar and im looking forward to hanging out on the board. Cheers.

    Some pics of the 73...
    and a few pics of my T/A , 454 BB Chev 8/71 Dyers blower, dual 750 Demons, back halfed,full tubs, chrome-moly ladder bars, full chassis, coil overs, 9 inch,31 spline billet axels... i could go on forever. but you get the idea.

    Cheers guys!
    Sam.

    Welcome, and nice cars!  I hope the 73 works out as it looks good in the photos.  The Pontiac looks absolutely wicked!  I noticed the bow tie sewn into the interior.  It it Chevy powered?

    Welcome to the site Sam. There are lots of e-bodies for sale right now so you should have no trouble picking one up. Hope the 73 turns out to be the right one but if not start looking at others.

    Welcome, Ban/Sam.  :smilielol:

    Your T/A big block looks sweet!  You probably have a hard time hearing after running it at WOT.   :burnout:

    Your '73 Cuda looks really great too.  Hope your Cuda is on that train right now headed to you.  This is a great website with lots of information and tons of great pictures.   

    I have a '73 Cuda also, so congratulations on your new E-body!   :clapping:
